The Wikipedia articles are displayed in an iFrame in the app cuz it’s a 
Phonegap app for iOS, Android, etc for mobile devices and also there’ll be a 
web browser version. The user clicks a link in a Google map infoWindow, a link 
to a related Wikipedia article, and then the article is displayed in the app in 
an iFrame.

I see at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Ajax the following code, which is 
working OK:

$.ajax({
    url: 
'http://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=general&format=json&callback=myCallBack',
    data: {format: 'json' },
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: function(jsonObject) {var ttt; }
});

Can I alter this a little bit so that I include the title of the article and 
whether I want it in mobile or desktop format. What I want back from the call 
is the HTML article itself.
