Wikisource is a sister project to Wikipedia that aims to create a free content wiki library of primary source texts, and translations of source texts in any language. == History == Wikisource was originally called ":m:Wikisource" during its planning stages (a play on words for ":w:Project Gutenberg)." The project began its activity when source texts were placed at [http://ps.wikipedia.org ps.wikipedia.org]. "PS" was taken to mean either [http://nostalgia.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_commentary/Project_Sourceberg&diff=prev&oldid=54331 "primary sources"] or "Project Sourceberg" by the contributors, who erroneously took over the subdomain of the Pashto language Wikipedia! Project Sourceberg started officially when it received its own temporary URL on November 24, 2003 (http://sources.wikipedia.org); all texts and discussions were moved there from [http://ps.wikipedia.org ps.wikipedia.org]. 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 domain (at http://wikisource.org) until [http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Wikisource:Scriptorium&diff=11750&oldid=11747 July 23, 2004]. Within two weeks of the project's official start (at sources.wikipedia.org), over 1000 pages had been created, with approximately 200 of these being designated as actual articles. At the start of 2004, the site had 100 registered users. In early July, 2004 the number of articles exceeded 2400, 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. A :wikisource:Wikisource:New vote on language subdomains that ended May 12, 2005 supported the adoption of separate language subdomains at Wikisource, allowing texts in each language to be hosted on their own wiki. These language subdomains are expected to be set up starting in June. ==Logo== The current Wikisource logo (shown above) with a picture of an iceberg was selected because of the project's original name ("Project Sourceberg"). It has not attracted much enthusiasm since the change of name to "Wikisource." The iceberg logo is reminiscent to Sigmund Freud's use of an iceberg as an analogy to illustrate his concept of the unconscious mind. == External links == * [http://wikisource.org/wiki/Main_Page:English Wikisource site] (English Main Page) * [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource Early discussions about the project] wikimedia projects fa:ویکینبشت

can we have variants of this? — "has original text from the King James Version of the Bible" is a bit strange when it's really the entire text (should read "has the complete text").

==Templates poll== ''Poll will end on November 18, 2004.'' User:Netoholic and I have had a long row about the structure and nature of the templates concerning Wikisource (all save Template:Move to Wikisource, which will be left out of this). Seeing as we are unable to reach a consensus, I suppose it is best if this were decided by the community. The possible schemes are found below. -- User:Itai 00:51, 15 Oct 2004 (UTC) ===Itai's layout=== 5-6 templates in all (the exact phrasing is of no importance, nor are the names): ; Wikisource generic: : ''"Wikisource contains the text of wikisource:{}. "''
: This will no be directly called except in cases where the difference between the Wikipedia name of an article and the Wikisource counterpart is such that using the Wikisource counterpart would render the Wikipedia link illegible. The use of a single template to handle the formatting of both "Wikisource" and "Wikisource par" makes sense.
;Wikisource:
: ''"{{Wikisource generic||}} "''
: Most frequently used templates, and closest to the current settings.
; Wikisourcepar:
: ''"{{Wikisource generic|{}|{}}} "''
: Frontend for Wikisource generic, receiving only one parameter rather than two.
; Wikisource (the):
: ''"{{Wikisource generic||The }}. "''
: A possible template used only in such cases where a "the" is required, such as "Qur'an" or "King James Bible". The current Template:Wikisource bypasses the need for this by using phrasing other than that used above in "Wikisource generic", and can be retained if needed. A nice feature of generic templates, which should be noted, is the ability to allow templates such as this without having to reformat lots of template every time a change of format is decided.
; Wikisource author generic:
: ''"Wikisource has original works written by [[wikisource:Author:|. "''
: Generic template, equivalent to Wikisource generic and scarcely called.
; Wikisource author:
: ''"{{Wikisource author generic||}} "''
: Template commonly used for referring to Wikisource Author: pages.

#*The two "generic" templates are completely redundant. Eliminate those, and you'll be on the right track. Nesting templates causes dependancy and maintenance issues. -- User:Netoholic User talk:Netoholic 01:56, 2004 Oct 15 (UTC)

#*Not using the same template for Wikisource full and Wikisourcepar creates a duplicity of editing efforts, and prevents the addition of . Not having a Wikisource author parameter-receiving template prevents the use of this template in the numerous cases in which Wikipedia and Wikisource author names differ.

I don't know, I rather like the logo. I thought it was meant to connote a vast wealth of information backing up the more common "public face" that is Wikipedia. I'm not sure how much "enthusiasm" one can expect a logo to generate, but I like the idea, in my own personal interpretation of it. :I was gonna come in here and say all kinds of stuff about the logo, but you hit the nail on the head. You said exactly, I mean exactly, what I was gonna say!! User:Jaberwocky6669 04:00, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
