See https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples

Any other recommendations welcome. People should use Markdown for italics (asterisks).

Will need to update the README as well.

I would keep the common sources such as Wikipedia, Unicode as simple as possible to keep the size of the database from getting bloated.

On that note, it would be nice to know the exact page(s) and maybe even #sections of wikipedia referenced. Some languages/scripts have several relevant pages etc. For a changing medium like wikipedia the date when referenced would be helpful; not sure if that is part of the APA but I would think so :)

I will also move them to sources:

And automagically add references to relevant links to Ethnologue and Open Language Archives where available

Just to be 100%, you're suggesting renaming source: to plural sources:, yes? Okay by me, probably needs a few spots updating in the code, but should be np 👍

In the same go also adding explicit wikipedia language links where we currently reference just "wikipedia" might be good.

Do we need a script to do those automatically? Or at least search/open/edit them automatically?
