because there is no one Wikimedia citation format. (Happy to be corrected on that if I'm wrong, though.)
There isn't, hence I suggested the most suitable for scholarly citations in English.
Both Google and Wikimedia claim to be global, multi-lingual solutions. So both we and Google should be aiming higher.
I didn't say I didn't aim higher - but it's also pragmatic to start with quick wins, which will help a majority of people, most of the time.
Despite being a monoglot, I spend a good deal of time supporting non-English projects, and multi-lingual editors; and cross-project collaboration.
