Hi folks, I report hereby Wikiquote project, a multilingual online
open-content compendium of quotations., has currently over 10,000
articles in total with a great pleasure.
According to en:q:Wikiquote:Multilingual statistics by en:q:User:Pumpie,
http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Wikiquote:Multilingual_statistics
Wikiquote project has 10,270 articles in its top 22 languages as of
March 25, 2005. It is uncertain what is the 10,000th article exactly.
It took 15 months from its start in December 2003. Currently four
projects (English, German, French and Polish) has more than 1,000
articles. The largest one is English with almost 2,700 articles. About
300 user accounts have been created and there are many unregistered
editors too as same as other projects.
Most of Wikiquotes focus on authors who wrote in their own language
but there are many good translation. English and Japanese Wikiquotes
show a strong inclination to the original text, and many quotes are
accompanied with original texts.
Coordination with other Wikimedia project is a vital part of Wikiqutoe
activities. Wikimedia and Wikisource are referred frequently but also
Wikimedia Commons provides Wikiquote with many images, particularly
authors' portrait. French Wikiquote sets up a good template with a
well-defined description of author and portrait image.
Thank you for your support and contributions.
Cheers,
