is shortly moving to Trove -- http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper?q=

In Trove, after finding a page I want to cite in Wikipedia, I can click on
More options, Cite, and a window pops up with pre-formattted MLA and APA
cite texts.  Example below

CiteArticle identifierhttp://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10055249Page
identifierhttp://nla.gov.au/nla.news-page876271 APA citationSHIPPING. (1910,
March 7). *The Mercury *(Hobart, Tas. : 1860-1954), p. 4. Retrieved November
16, 2010, from http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article10055249 MLA
citation"SHIPPING."
*The Mercury *(Hobart, Tas. : 1860-1954) 7 Mar 1910: 4. Web. 16 Nov
2010.Harvard/Australian
citation1910 'SHIPPING.', *The Mercury *(Hobart, Tas. : 1860-1954), 7 March,

WP uses a hybrid of these formats.  I was wondering if WM-AU could
officially approach NLA to see if a Wikipedia cite could be added to that
window.

Just an idea...
