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?

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 ...
