== Oral citation ==

Most African proverbs are not published anywhere but are passed down from generation to generation. I know this because every year in my village there's a reed dance where the elders would recite these. Would it be wise to quote the elders is it an acceptable practise to for Wikiquotes to reference through oral citation?
