Well, what do you mean by a central bibliographical reference base? I could code it, if I knew what I was coding. Currently we have the <reference> system, which is simple enough, but getting entries in the right format is hard. Using the cite templates makes life simple, but not everyone knows about them. Is there a wikiproject on improving wikipedia's bibliographical standards?

Ok then, we either link to the bibliography or manually update each article with the text in the bibliography. However, how then does the referencing system work?
By hand, at present - there isn't a central bibliographical reference base, as some have mooted. If you can code something that will both work and be sensibly usable by casual editors, I suspect it would be most welcomed ...
