Wikisource is an online wiki-based digital library of free-content textual sources operated by the Wikimedia Foundation . Wikisource is the name of the project as a whole; it is also the name for each instance of that project, one for each language. The project's aim is to host all forms of free text, in many languages, and translations. Originally conceived as an archive to store useful or important historical texts, it has expanded to become a general-content library. The project officially began on November 24, 2003, under the name Project Sourceberg , a play on Project Gutenberg . The name Wikisource was adopted later that year and it received its own domain name .

252-490: A project-specific coordination wiki, first realized at Wikisource, also took hold in another Wikimedia project, namely at Wikiversity 's Beta Wiki . Like wikisource.org, it serves Wikiversity coordination in all languages, and as a language incubator, but unlike Wikisource, its Main Page does not serve as its multilingual portal.

The contributors understood the "PS" subdomain to mean either "primary sources" or Project Sourceberg. However, this resulted in Project Sourceberg occupying the subdomain of the Pashto Misplaced Pages (the ISO language code of the Pashto language is "ps"). Project Sourceberg officially launched on November 24, 2003, when it received its own temporary URL, at sources.wikipedia.org, and all texts and discussions hosted on ps.wikipedia.org were moved to

#1732844762196432-708: The English Wikisource passed 20,000 text-units in its third month of existence, already holding more texts than did the entire project in April (before the move to language subdomains). On May 10, 2006, the first Wikisource Portal was created. On February 14, 2008, the English Wikisource passed 100,000 text-units with Chapter LXXIV of Six Months at the White House , a memoir by painter Francis Bicknell Carpenter .

504-641: The Wikimedia Commons . The quality of the transcriptions, previously automatically generated by optical character recognition (OCR), was expected to be improved by Wikisource's human proofreaders. In 2011, the English Wikisource received many high-quality scans of documents from the US National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as part of their efforts "to increase the accessibility and visibility of its holdings." Processing and upload to Commons of these documents, along with many images from
540-501: The English Wikisource is the Wiki Bible project, intended to create a new, "laissez-faire translation" of The Bible . A separate Hebrew version of Wikisource ( he.wikisource.org ) was created in August 2004. The need for a language-specific Hebrew website derived from the difficulty of typing and editing Hebrew texts in a left-to-right environment (Hebrew is written right-to-left). In

612-473: The ProofreadPage extension, which ensures the reliability and accuracy of the project's texts. Some individual Wikisources, each representing a specific language, now only allow works backed up with scans. While the bulk of its collection are texts, Wikisource as a whole hosts other media, from comics to film to audiobooks . Some Wikisources allow user-generated annotations, subject to the specific policies of

A MediaWiki extension called ProofreadPage was developed for Wikisource by developer ThomasV to improve
720-665: The Wikisource in question. The project has come under criticism for lack of reliability but it is also cited by organisations such as the National Archives and Records Administration . As of November 2024, there are Wikisource subdomains active for 79 languages comprising a total of 6,243,757 articles and 3,021 recently active editors. The original concept for Wikisource was as storage for useful or important historical texts. These texts were intended to support Misplaced Pages articles, by providing primary evidence and original source texts, and as an archive in its own right. The collection
756-530: The capacity for annotated editions of texts. On Wikisource, the annotations are supplementary to the original text, which remains the primary objective of the project. By contrast, on Wikibooks the annotations are primary, with the original text as only a reference or supplement, if present at all. Annotated editions are more popular on the German Wikisource. The project also accommodates translations of texts provided by its users. A significant translation on

828-577: The collaborative nature and technology of these projects means there is no oversight by experts and therefore their content is not reliable. Bart D. Ehrman , a New Testament scholar and professor of religious studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , has criticised the English Wikisource's project to create a user-generated translation of the Bible saying "Democratization isn't necessarily good for scholarship." Richard Elliott Friedman , an Old Testament scholar and professor of Jewish studies at
864-410: The ensuing months, contributors in other languages including German requested their own wikis, but a December vote on the creation of separate language domains was inconclusive. Finally, a second vote that ended May 12, 2005, supported the adoption of separate language subdomains at Wikisource by a large margin, allowing each language to host its texts on its own wiki. An initial wave of 14 languages
900-430: The need for the project, writing "The hard question, I guess, is why we are reinventing the wheel, when Project Gutenberg already exists? We'd want to complement Project Gutenberg—how, exactly?", and Jimmy Wales adding "like Larry, I'm interested that we think it over to see what we can add to Project Gutenberg. It seems unlikely that primary sources should in general be editable by anyone — I mean, Shakespeare
936-643: The original work is not necessary to be able to contribute to the project once images have been uploaded. Within two weeks of the project's official start at sources.wikipedia.org, over 1,000 pages had been created, with approximately 200 of these being designated as actual articles. On January 4, 2004, Wikisource welcomed its 100th registered user. In early July, 2004 the number of articles exceeded 2,400, and more than 500 users had registered. On April 30, 2005, there were 2667 registered users (including 18 administrators) and almost 19,000 articles. The project passed its 96,000th edit that same day. On November 27, 2005,
972-433: The picture's license was inappropriate for a Wikimedia Foundation logo and because a photo cannot scale properly—a stylized vector iceberg inspired by the original picture was mandated to serve as the project's logo. The first prominent use of Wikisource's slogan— The Free Library —was at the project's multilingual portal , when it was redesigned based upon the Misplaced Pages portal on August 27, 2005, (historical version). As in
1008-667: The project does not host " vanity press " books or documents produced by its contributors. A scanned source is preferred on many Wikisources and required on some. Most Wikisources will, however, accept works transcribed from offline sources or acquired from other digital libraries . The requirement for prior publication can also be waived in a small number of cases if the work is a source document of notable historical importance. The legal requirement for works to be licensed or free of copyright remains constant. The only original pieces accepted by Wikisource are annotations and translations. Wikisource, and its sister project Wikibooks , has

1080-487: The temporary address. A vote on the project's name changed it to Wikisource on December 6, 2003. Despite the change in name, the project did not move to its permanent URL ( http://wikisource.org/ ) until July 23, 2004. Since Wikisource was initially called "Project Sourceberg", its first logo was a picture of an iceberg . Two votes conducted to choose a successor were inconclusive, and the original logo remained until 2006. Finally, for both legal and technical reasons—because
1116-446: The vetting of transcriptions by the project. This displays pages of scanned works side by side with the text relating to that page, allowing the text to be proofread and its accuracy later verified independently by any other editor. Once a book, or other text, has been scanned, the raw images can be modified with image processing software to correct for page rotations and other problems. The retouched images can then be converted into

Wikisource collects and stores in digital format previously published texts; including novels, non-fiction works, letters, speeches, constitutional and historical documents, laws and a range of other documents. All texts collected are either free of copyright or released under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License . Texts in all languages are welcomed, as are translations. In addition to texts, Wikisource hosts material such as comics , films , recordings and spoken-word works. All texts held by Wikisource must have been previously published;

Three more languages were created on March 29, 2006, and then another large wave of 14 language domains was created on June 2, 2006. Languages without subdomains are locally incubated. As of September 2020 , 182 languages are hosted locally . As of November 2024, there are Wikisource subdomains for 81 languages of which 79 are active and 2 are closed. The active sites have 6,243,757 articles and

1296-553: Was suggested as a solution to this. In describing the proposed project, user The Cunctator said, "It would be to Project Gutenberg what Misplaced Pages is to Nupedia ", soon clarifying the statement with "we don't want to try to duplicate Project Gutenberg's efforts; rather, we want to complement them. Perhaps Project Sourceberg can mainly work as an interface for easily linking from Misplaced Pages to a Project Gutenberg file, and as an interface for people to easily submit new work to PG." Initial comments were skeptical, with Larry Sanger questioning
