Er, what is this "modern referencing standards" you are talking about? Is this some new thing that was voted on & made policy without much fanfare, or are you referring to some academic standard like the _MLA Handbook_?
Referring to a purely Wikipedia definition of 'modern' - in other words, up til about 2 years ago there was little push to give references. Sometimes we did, but not all that often. More often, we just linked a few relevant external links that were probably among where we got the info from.
There's a lot of articles I wrote in my first year on Wikipedia that I'd extensively reference if I did them now.
