data-mw-comment-end="h-How_do_I_find_a_specific_quote?"></span></h2></div> <p>Q: How do I find a specific quote (for example, "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.")? </p> <dl><dd>A: Find the box with "Search Wikiquote" in light gray type, enter the quote in that box, and hit "return." You will see a list of articles that contain the closest matches to your quote. Click on the articles and use your browser's find function to find the quote on the page. The example above yields several articles, the first of which is <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Barrett_Browning" title="Elizabeth Barrett Browning">Elizabeth Barrett Browning</a>, and browser-searching the page itself shows this comes from Sonnet 43 of her <i>Sonnets from the Portuguese</i>.</dd></dl> <dl><dd>When the Wikimedia servers are heavily loaded, this search feature may be temporarily disabled. You can also find quotes in Wikiquote by using general search engines and including "wikiquote" in the text to search for. (Many non-Wikiquote sites may also appear because they use Wikiquote as their source. Of course, we recommend you go straight to the source.) For Google, you can append the text "site:wikiquote.org" to your search string to narrow the search to Wikiquote only.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="How_do_I_start_a_new_article?" data-mw-thread-id="h-How_do_I_start_a_new_article?"><span id="How_do_I_start_a_new_article.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-How_do_I_start_a_new_article?"></span>How do I start a new article?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-How_do_I_start_a_new_article?"></span></h2></div> <p>Q: How do I add new articles to Wikiquote—for example, quotations by people who do not already exist here? </p> <dl><dd>A: Comprehensive documentation exists at <a href="/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page" title="Help:Starting a new page">Help:Starting a new page</a>. The easiest way is to use one of the buttons at the <a href="/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page#Using_inputbox" title="Help:Starting a new page">inputbox section</a> to be launched straight into the editing page with a ready boilerplate. If you choose one of the other ways listed there, see <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Templates" title="Wikiquote:Templates">Wikiquote:Templates</a> for common formatting standards here.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Can_I_add_a_quote_when_I_don't_know_who_said_it?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Can_I_add_a_quote_when_I_don't_know_who_said_it?"><span id="Can_I_add_a_quote_when_I_don.27t_know_who_said_it.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Can_I_add_a_quote_when_I_don't_know_who_said_it?"></span>Can I add a quote when I don't know who said it?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Can_I_add_a_quote_when_I_don't_know_who_said_it?"></span></h2></div> <p>Q: Is it acceptable to add quotes which you had come across on the internet and are relatively unattributed? </p> <dl><dd>A: Yes, those should be added under <a href="/wiki/Anonymous" title="Anonymous">Anonymous</a>, but it is suggested that you do a search of that quote to see if you can find who said it.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Can_I_add_a_clever_quote_from_my_friend?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Can_I_add_a_clever_quote_from_my_friend?"><span id="Can_I_add_a_clever_quote_from_my_friend.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Can_I_add_a_clever_quote_from_my_friend?"></span>Can I add a clever quote from my friend?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Can_I_add_a_clever_quote_from_my_friend?"></span></h2></div> <p>Q: What about non-famous-quotes: my neighbour Rizwan says something profound; can I put it up here, crediting it to him? </p> <dl><dd>A: Unless your neighbour is notable, probably not. However, you are free to collect quotes of yourself, people you know and notable people on your user page, and organize them however you like.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="I've_spotted_vandalism_on_an_article,_what_should_I_do?" data-mw-thread-id="h-I've_spotted_vandalism_on_an_article,_what_should_I_do?"><span id="I.27ve_spotted_vandalism_on_an_article.2C_what_should_I_do.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-I've_spotted_vandalism_on_an_article,_what_should_I_do?"></span>I've spotted vandalism on an article, what should I do?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-I've_spotted_vandalism_on_an_article,_what_should_I_do?"></span></h2></div> <p>Q: Is there a place within Wikiquote to call attention to vandalism—and what can be done against it? </p> <dl><dd>A: When vandalism is obvious <i>anyone</i> can simply revert the edits that have been made by calling up the history of the article, clicking to edit the last version <i>before</i> the vandalism occurred, and <i>saving</i> that. If you believe that blocking, or other protective measures should be taken, you can post on the <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:VIP" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikiquote:VIP">Vandalism in progress</a> page and/or notify an <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:RFA#Current_administrators" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikiquote:RFA">admin</a> on their talk pages.

Many of these abbreviations have handy shortcuts that can be typed into the Search box to jump right to the page.

Otherwise, someone else coming across the attribution somewhere else will add it again. This way, the page becomes a resource for what quotations are wrong, as well as right.

Wikiquote uses wiki articles for <i>collections</i> of quotes. There is no practical way at this time to mark each quote so that one can be "pulled" out for a fortune cookie-like saying.
