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.
