some sites to cite an article about medical visualization [2]. when
looking at it i noticed:
* that it is published in a cc-2.5 licensed journal
* that there is a possibility to enter links from facebook, stumble upon,
...
* that there is no link to do make a reference in wiki*
would it make sense that a wikimedia page allows referencing such an
article? the functions of such a page could be:
* enter it in a (not yet existing) references library (bibtex or whatever)
* add it to a portal talk page selected by the user (like medicine)
* add it to project selected by the user (like wpedia, wversity, ...)
imo the advantages would be that on one hand quality may rise through
better citations, on the other hand having a citation library where
researchers in future want to be and need to be.
It would be easy use javascript to fill out a {{cite news}} template
or whatever based on the url parameters. However the intersection of
sites we want to newcomers to easily link to and sites which take
us seriously enough to provide a url for doing so might be smaller
than we'd hope.
