I am working on a proof of concept that would entail knowing more about the wiki page (getting interesting information), but at first glance the urls in the references are of no use to me.

What kind of tool/project are you working on?

Hi,

Is there a way to get the description of the wiki page with everything “BEFORE” the “References” section?

For example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jobs I would need in the wiki page “BEFORE” the below “References” section.
