I just discovered the articles in this category : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Bibliographies_by_subject
These sorts of bibliographies would make *ideal* appendices off their main article. As it is, they're a little unwieldy as articles. But imagine, if every good or even half-way decent article had an associated "bibliography" tab, along with "appendices" and the main article... that would be pretty cool.
That's very similar to the Citizendium method - my hesitance about it is that extensible interfaces can be a problem for us - it's much of what went wrong with categories.
Aha! I hadn't looked at citizendium since they implemented this. Well, it seems like a good idea, if potentially a place for spam to accumulate (not to mention doing a good, comprehensive, unbiased bibliography is *hard* -- though that's no reason not to try).
