Database of citations

[edit]

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? ·addshore· talk to me! 13:21, 10 August 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Addshore:
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
  1. Internet Archive, through en:Internet Archive Scholar
  2. en:Allen Institute for AI, through en:Semantic Scholar
  3. en:Microsoft Academic (ended in 2022), now available through en:OpenAlex

Internationalization pls?

[edit]

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 ? Omotecho (talk) 04:45, 27 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
