There are situations where it would be helpful for my bot to use Google:Scholar results.  I've also encountered Wikipedia citation information which Google:Scholar seemed to not be aware of, such as an online copy of often-cited work.  This suggests a mutually beneficial relationship, where data from Wikipedia (or its users) can enhance Scholar's data, and details for partial data can improve Wikipedia's citations.  Google already has policies and tools which allow some of this activity.  I've pointed this out to WP R&D.;  However, due to legal and corporate roadblocks it can be difficult to get such suggestions to someone in Google who can consider them.  I understand the Wikimedia Foundation already has a relationship with Google, and this could send such suggestions to Google for their consideration (such as Google's lawyers ensuring ideas don't entangle their IP and then passing it on to the right staff).
