== Database of citations ==

Hi all, I remember one of the early potential visions of wikicite was a database of citations. It seems now rather it is trying to create WD identifiers / metadata around things that might be used as sources?
Does anyone have a good collection of resources / links / previous discussions around the old idea of a database of citations? '''[[User:Addshore|·addshore·]]''' <sup>[[User_talk:Addshore|talk to me!]]</sup> 13:21, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

:All of the old proposals at [[WikiCite_(3)#Proposed_by]] wanted a database of citations. The WMF commissioned research into doing this as part of a funding request to a United States foundation as documented at [[WikiCite/Shared Citations]], and that is the most developed statement of the challenge.
:If you want an open database of citations, then allied projects which offer that include
:#Internet Archive, through [[:en:Internet Archive Scholar]]
:#[[:en:Allen Institute for AI]], through [[:en:Semantic Scholar]]
:#[[:en:Microsoft Academic]] (ended in 2022), now available through [[:en:OpenAlex]]

== Internationalization pls? ==

Both the parent and sibling pages are still to be offered to i18n efforts.

Any support for making it a more accessible initiative, firstly readable on your native tongues ? [[User:Omotecho|Omotecho]] ([[User talk:Omotecho|talk]]) 04:45, 27 August 2025 (UTC)


==300,000 legal documents==
*[[China Judgments Online Preservation Program]]
This project currently has a few hundred legal documents uploaded to Chinese language Wikisource. WikiCite is for scientific papers, and there are big differences in relatively regional and focused court judgements, but WikiCite and this project both have in common metadata for documents and community curation to enrich them for usefulness.

Check out that pilot project if interested. [[User:Bluerasberry|<span style="background:#cedff2;color:#11e">''' Bluerasberry '''</span>]][[User talk:Bluerasberry|<span style="background:#cedff2;color:#11e">(talk)</span>]] 15:03, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
