Screenshot of extra text on wikipedia article
I noticed this bug in the History section of the wikipedia article for
'Ampersand'. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersand)
Large chunks of text are repeated in the output of the article. Chunks of text
appear to be copied from wikipedia article for 'Essay' and are unrelated to the
article viewed.
The extra text does NOT appear when editing the article - seems to only show up
when viewing the article and, can be seen in HTML source code too. The bug
appeared in current browsers, Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Wikipedia mobile app.
The extra text shows up in the first sentence of History section that reads..
'The ampersand can be (.. extra text..) traced back to the 1st century A.D.'
No unusual code appears in that location when editing the article.
See attached screen shot.
