Q: How do I find a specific quote (for example, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.")? 1. A: Find the box with "Search Wikiquote" in light gray type, enter the quote in that box, and hit "return." You will see a list of articles that contain the closest matches to your quote. Click on the articles and use your browser's find function to fin...
Q: How do I add new articles to Wikiquote—for example, quotations by people who do not already exist here? 1. A: Comprehensive documentation exists at Help:Starting a new page. The easiest way is to use one of the buttons at the inputbox section to be launched straight into the editing page with a ready boilerplate. If you choose one of the other w...
Q: Is it acceptable to add quotes which you had come across on the internet and are relatively unattributed? 1. A: Yes, those should be added under Anonymous, but it is suggested that you do a search of that quote to see if you can find who said it.
Q: What about non-famous-quotes: my neighbour Rizwan says something profound; can I put it up here, crediting it to him? 1. A: Unless your neighbour is notable, probably not. However, you are free to collect quotes of yourself, people you know and notable people on your user page, and organize them however you like.
Q: Is there a place within Wikiquote to call attention to vandalism—and what can be done against it? 1. A: When vandalism is obvious anyone can simply revert the edits that have been made by calling up the history of the article, clicking to edit the last version before the vandalism occurred, and saving that. If you believe that blocking, or other...
Q: What do all those cryptic abbreviations, like VP and VFD, mean? 1. A: Many Wikiquote maintenance and operation pages have long descriptive titles, like Wikiquote:Votes for deletion, so people often abbreviate them. Many of these abbreviations have handy shortcuts that can be typed into the Search box to jump right to the page. A partial list of ...
Q: I came across a quote popularly misattributed to person X in his page. Should I remove it? 1. A: No, please! Add that quote to a section "Misattributed", and add any and all information you have regarding the history of the misattribution. Otherwise, someone else coming across the attribution somewhere else will add it again. This way, the page ...
Q: Should this site be called "Wikiquotation", because "quote" is a verb, and "quotation" is the noun form? 1. A: Actually, "quote" is also a noun, per Merriam-Webster Online, Cambridge Dictionaries Online, Wiktionary, and many other dictionaries. Some consider it an informal form of "quotation", but still find it acceptable.
Q: Can I use Wikiquote to produce random single quotations, like the Unix program "fortune"? 1. A: Not directly. Wikiquote uses wiki articles for collections of quotes. There is no practical way at this time to mark each quote so that one can be "pulled" out for a fortune cookie-like saying. Programmers can, of course, use Wikiquote's data for such...
Q: Can I use Wikiquote material for my own website, or for commercial purposes? 1. A: Wikiquote, just like its sister project Wikipedia, operates under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA), a "copyleft" system that allows any use of its material—free or commercial—as long as the same freedom-to-copy is maintained and cre...
You can also find quotes in Wikiquote by using general search engines and including "wikiquote" in the text to search for. (Many non-Wikiquote sites may also appear because they use Wikiquote as their source. Of course, we suggest you go straight to the source.)
19 hours ago · In short, the goal of the Wikiquote is to produce a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films, and proverbs . There are, of course, a number of online collections of quotations already on the web, however Wikiquote is distinguished by being among the few that provide an opportunity for visitors to contribute, which is nice.
