Actually, we could routinely use twitter more, asking
for input. With the
right searchable keywords we might regularly attract both help with the
specific problem and new editors. That could become a regular routine.
Obviously asking for help in such a forum could also attract cranks and
axe grinders too.
aNobii users helped me to find sources of several quotations on
it.wikiquote. I posted requests as a "find the source" contest on
biggest single-author groups named after authors with unsourced
quotations, but you could also use biggest general groups (which have
thousands of members), possibly organizing a contest with their founder,
or send private messages to users who have books from that author. I had
no time to try this, though.
