My point is not so much that we have no guidelines about bibliographies (or whatever term you choose to append to a list of the best works on a subject), but that many of our articles lack comprehensive and well-put together bibliographies, and that this is something which could be fairly easily done which would improve Wikipedia's usefulness by leaps and bounds. It's an important aspect of encyclopedic quality which I think has been neglected.
I thoroughly agree that the "Further reading" section would be a good section to expand in any article. But only referring to that section by one unambiguous name would keep things clearer ;) You could either emphasize the section at [[WP:GTL]], or create a project similar to [[WP:FACT]] to gather like-minded volunteers.
And some questions about Bibliographies

I don't know where to find out about current WikiData progress. All the pages I can find are out of date. I currently suspect that all the people who know are hard at work developing OmegaWiki as a testbed for WikiData(?)
