I suspect that Google would be reluctant to add a Wikimedia citation format
Trove, the Australian National Library's newspaper archive, are happy to do so.
Presumably those materials are all in English, unlike Scholar (and Wikipedia!)
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.
But of course take my perspective with a grain of salt - I've always found it crazy that there is not a standardized citation format across the projects, so I may be putting words in Google's mouth.
