HistoryEdit

It began on November 24, 2003. Its name was "Project Sourceberg" (a play on words for Project Gutenberg),^[1] and its URL was http://sources.wikipedia.org. On December 6, 2003, members wanted to change the name to "Wikisource", but the URL was not moved to http://wikisource.org until July 23, 2004.
