I had an idea I believe would really increase our content base and make us far more academically useful than TV Tropes.
We should import quotes pages from Wikiquotes for many book, films, plays, and so on that don't have them, as well as quotes from famous authors and playwrights. Of course, many of these pages would have to be modified to avoiding leaving tons of red links, but legally, this should be completely fine since we both have CC BY SA licensing, and would fill in a lot of holes.
Also, I propose a new subpage instance on Works pages: Source.
Basically, for public domain works, it would be great if we could provide the source of the original work from places like Wikisource, Project Gutenberg, or somewhere similar. The way I see it, if we are to be an academic resource, might as well take that title seriously, and what better way to do so than by actually encouraging the reading of actual literature.
Again, this should legal so long as we cite the source.
It also has the added benefit of us not having to write a ton of stuff ourselves, boosting our Google page rank by providing pages with richer content, and making us a more serious resource than TV Tropes concerning use by academics.
