Wikiquote and Wikibooks

I chose Wikiquotes because I thought it would be interesting to look a little more in detail.  As a student, research is an essential part of writing.  Quotes can bring more relevancy and substance to a project, especially when writing about a particular person.  Wikiquote was originally only in English, but now is available in many languages.  Quotes can be found from people, literary works, films, tv shows, etc.  Just as an example, I chose TV shows, and an alphabetical list of shows came up, and I mean any show you can possibly think of.  I clicked on "Chelsea Lately" just for giggles, and two of her shows famous dialogue quotes were there.  I guess if you are looking for something specific that you want, and it's not there... It won't be available, but with Wiki, you can always add it.

Wikibooks, free content textbooks, was another interesting project I chose.  It was launched in 2003 to host and build free textbooks.  Sounds like a deal to me!  While some books are original, others began as text copied over from other sources of free content textbooks found on the Internet.  All of the site's content is covered by a creative commons license.  I viewed a cookbook on Wikibooks...how to add apple stuffing to broccoli...sounds yummy, right???  JK!  But I was just browsing, and saw some of the most interesting things, and really in a table (table of contents) book form.  This project could prove to come in handy in the future...this was my first experience with both quotes and books.
