Multilingual cooperation

In July 2004, about 70 subdomains were set up, but most of them have no contributors. The followings are parts of subdomains which had been created in July 2004: all of them were attracted by editors' interest at the time and soon became active.

The number of active Wikiquote projects is growing. As of January 2005, 26 language projects were active. Here, "active" means the project has at least one legitimate article and one edit within a month. After a half year, 34 language projects are known as active.

As of 21 August 2006, seven projects have more than 2,000 articles. The biggest Wikiquote is the English project with over 7,800 articles, followed closely by German, then the Polish, Italian, Portuguese, and Bulgarian projects. (The French project is currently suspended.) Seventeen projects (including the largest seven) have more than 100 articles.
