Wikiquote is one of a family of wiki-based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation, running on MediaWiki software. Based on an idea by Daniel Alston and implemented by Brion Vibber, the goal of the project is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films, proverbs, etc. and to be as proper as possible in regard to the details of the quotations and also providing the appropriate human reference of the quotation. Initially, the project was created solely in English in July 2003; a later expansion to include additional languages was started in July 2004. As of October 2021, there are active Wikiquote sites for 67 languages comprising a total of 258,631 articles and 1,484 recently active editors.
