This page is about the project that has moved to Meta (see
m:Wikicite). For the Wikipedia bibliographic citation program Wikicite, see
Wikipedia:Wikicite. For the most recent project, see
meta:WikiScholar.
The pages for this project have been moved to Meta-Wiki; see
Wikicite.
In brief, though, Wikicite is an umbrella for several projects aimed at providing Wikipedia and Wikimedia sister projects with a scholarly infrastructure and will include among its deliverables such stand-alone resources as
m:Wikicat- an editable bibliographic catalog.

I am happy to contribute to this project :).

A long-needed project.

I'll just put my name here without asking anybody. I find it increasingly difficult to write anything useful in WP, without the capability of directing readers to specific parts of referenced papers or books, with helpful or critical comments. (I am prepared to give lots of examples). The Wikicite facility is sorely needed.

In a couple of month (if everything goes well :-), there will be a Romanian Union Catalogue which will be open to anyone to contribute bibliographic data, in a (refined) XML format (but convenient wizzards will be provided). The tender for the (open source) software for the catalogue is days ahead. This repository could be a suitable host for the Wikicite. --

Plan to work on perfecting existing citation templates, and possible Blue Book-style citations for law articles. I support the Harvard citation and referencing style, where appropriate.

I support anything that helps to promote a scholarly approach to providing good sources for Wikipedia content. Maybe the proposed
Wikiversity project will help such efforts. --

This would be great, and I'm interested in helping development. Meanwhile I'm working towards a combined {{
citation}} template, starting with {{
cite book}}.

I seem to be spending most of my time right now adding and fixing various citation templates. —

This will improve citing, and make it easier-but only once the immense work of setting up the apparatus is done, and all the questions of what source is appropriate when are answered. In the meantime, I'm working on practical problems, and interested in modest goals. DGG (
