Hello everybody,

I noticed a possible glitch at wikipedia api prop=excerpts

In some cases,
parameter *exsentences* does not return the number of sentences, but the
coordinates of an article.

Instead parameter *exchars* return a number of chars, and also the
coordinates.

E.g.
please have a look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_World_College_of_the_Adriatic

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&pageids=1266661&prop=extracts&exintro&explaintext&exsentences=10

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&pageids=1266661&prop=extracts&exchars=300&exintro&explaintext

I would like to have just the intro with the sentences.

Another example, though I think this is not an error, is with names, e.g.
H. P. Lovecraft: Against the World, Against Life
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=jsonfm&action=query&pageids=17545993&prop=extracts&exsentences=2&exintro&explaintext
Here I obtained a truncated sentence, cause the dots in the name force the
sentence to be truncated.

Is it a fix to do?
coordinates should appear only with their module, right?
