About this data
This page measures the percentage of quotes attributed to their original source and the median length of these attributions. The numbers are calculated from a large dataset of wiki quotes, providing a unique insight into how quote attribution has changed over time. This information is interesting because it sheds light on how quotes are used and acknowledged, an aspect often overlooked due to the lack of available datasets on quote attribution.
