User:Jimbo on Librivox:
I am concerned about having this quote on the page, as it says that we have 15 unabridged novels. We currently have just over thirty unabridged novels, plus many poems and short stories, and the list grows weekly. That quote will lead people to believe that we only have 15 novels. Perhaps there should be some note of when that quote was written, and that we have many more than 15 books. - GreenKri 14:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)greenKri
I agree. It would seem to make sense to add the date of the article (which is February 9, 2006). --- Gmackenzie 16:44, 13 March 2006 (UTC) gmackenzie
(edited and copied from my user talk page)The founder read a couple of chapters in it. The variation in reading style is big. The first chapters are not "read well" by Holywood standards, but Gord, for instance is a great, trained reader. Many different Dostoyevskys speak to you in this work. All compelling for their own qualities, & their amazing, human, naked and vulnerable faults. But you can hear the love in every voice, for every word uttered, and there is something magic about that, something so outside, beyond, the standards we have been trained to accept in a "recording".

Redhat recently showed an article about Librivox by Rebecca Fernandez that explains the project very well. The Article. If you want a very well researched summary of Librivox, this is it. GreenKri 04:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Although there is some relationship between the Gutenberg project and Librivox... I'm not sure why the link to "computer-generated" Audio Books on Gutenberg is present... Librivox has nothing to do with Gutenberg's computer-generated files. In fact, Librivox is philosophically opposed to "computer-generated" readings of literature. The prevailing opinion at Librivox is that literature is better presented through the human voice. While this may be a helpful link for those looking for Audio Books, it really has little to do with Librivox (the subject of the page).

I added some factual info to the intro, as follows: "Librivox is a digital library of free public domain audio books, read by volunteers. The project started in August 2005, and as of July 2006 has a catalog of about one hundred full length, unabridged books, and numerous shorter works. LibriVox recordings are primarily in English, however other languages are also available, including German, Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, Finnish, Latin and Old English." I am a member of LibriVox so if anyone objects to me adding that edit, well, here it is on the talk page. Mackinaw
I've updated the factual info re the LibriVox catalogue. I'm a LibriVox volunteer, too. Gesinegesine
Due to possible copyright conflict, the Agatha Christie books have been removed from the LibriVox catalog until this can be resolved. I have replaced the SOLO book listed in this article with another popular title from the LibriVox catalog. thistlechick 14:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
This is my first attempt and it seemed simple enough. Enjoy. Reason turns rancid 23:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I've changed the article quite a bit. Hopefully you will think it has been improved. I'm aware that I have not included citations, but I will try to get round to it. Thanks. -- 82.69.202.14 ( talk) 17:31, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Is the budget really $0.00? Is this a joke? I am positive that their hosting fees for all those audio books are off the wall, so please post FACTUAL information. 68.225.166.76 ( talk) 15:53, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
I've tried to make a template for linking to LibriVox recordings: {{User:IIVeaa/sandbox|Max Havelaar}}
what do you think? I don't have a lot of experience with making templates though. I can't seem to find how to remove the lock. see User:IIVeaa/sandbox|my sandbox for more -- IIVeaa ( talk) 13:33, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
I would like to see "See also" to similar projects. {I am looking for some audiobook and need a lot of databases to lookup } — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.21.56.80 ( talk) 16:56, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
The references/sources in the article are terrible - almost all seem to be blogs or internal LibriVox documents, both of which fail WP:RS.
The LibriVox website has a list of newspaper and magazine articles that would be excellent sources for inline citations, as well as expanding the Wikipedia article - see the first seven listed at http://librivox.org/pages/about-librivox/#3 are excellent. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 03:59, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Would this page be improved, sound less like an advertisement, if there were mention of other projects of this type? For instance, Guetnberg.org has an audio section I believe.
Are there any ideas how to improve this page to make it less like an Ad? Sorry, I do not know how to sign this.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TimoleonWash ( talk • contribs) 06:47, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
I would like to undertake a major re-write of this page. I have studied the page and this talk page and have many ideas to improve it greatly. I'm posting here to make sure it's OK to make these major changes, and also to see if any experienced wikipedia editor would like to be involved. Also, do folks just go ahead and make a major update, or do they put it someplace - like my sandbox - for review before publication? Thanks for your help TimoleonWash ( talk) 18:53, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
Consequently I have removed the prior notice about too much 1st party perspective. TimoleonWash ( talk) 17:45, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
There's no "WikiProject Audiobooks" or the like so I'm asking this here: could we add LibriVox-audiobooks to all articles that are featured on LibriVox?
I guess it would be a good idea to use a bot/script or something for it instead of manually going to through all LibriVox entries and checking which have their own Wiki-article.
Here's the template to use when linking them in the external links sections.
What do you think?
