=== Annotations and translations – the difference to Wikibooks ===
The only original pieces accepted by Wikisource are annotations and translations.<ref>{{cite book|title=Wikipedia Reader's Guide: The Missing Manual|first=John|last=Broughton|publisher=O'Reilly Media, Inc.|year=2008|isbn=978-0-596-52174-5|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780596521745/page/23 23]|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780596521745/page/23}}</ref> Wikisource, and its sister project [[Wikibooks]], has the capacity for [[Annotated novel|annotated editions]] of texts. On Wikisource, the annotations are supplementary to the original text, which remains the primary objective of the project. By contrast, on Wikibooks the annotations are primary, with the original text as only a reference or supplement, if present at all.<ref name=Boot>{{cite book|title=Mesotext|first=Peter|last=Boot|publisher=Amsterdam University Press|year=2009|isbn=978-90-8555-052-5|pages=34–35}}</ref> Annotated editions are more popular on the German Wikisource.<ref name=Boot /> The project also accommodates translations of texts provided by its users. A significant translation on the English Wikisource is the [[Wikisource:Wikisource:WikiProject Wiki Bible|Wiki Bible]] project, intended to create a new, "laissez-faire translation" of [[The Bible]].<ref name=newsweek>{{cite news | work = [[Newsweek]] | url = http://www.newsweek.com/id/141516 | first = Matthew | last = Philips | date = June 14, 2008 | title = God's Word, According to Wikipedia | access-date = September 29, 2011 | archive-date = April 16, 2009 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20090416105241/http://www.newsweek.com/id/141516 | url-status = live }}</ref>
