I can't see that ever happening, unless we freeze articles that reach a certain level of quality (judged by FA or something) for a period of time or make a version permanently available as a link from the top of an article. The issue with academic referencing isn't quality - its stability.

Hello,
I was thinking about the fact that wikipedia was still a tricky subject regarding its use for referencing in the academic world. I was wondering if it would not be possible to obtain from official academic bodies a sort of endorsement that would qualify a wikipedia article for "official" academic referencing?
