Unfortunately I must confess I'm aware of this problem and I too think it is something that needs to be fixed... it really is just a matter of finding the time /developer to do a good job for this as it is a tough problem to handle well (any takers?! :-)). The problem is due to certain browsers not supporting horizontal scrolling on tables.

Would appreciate your thoughts and others thoughts on how we should best fix this. So far the best suggestion seems to be replacing tables with buttons that when clicked show the table in full screen mode.

On both the mobile website and in our Android app (both current
release and latest beta) I see wide tables truncated. For example, the
climate table on <http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.>,
where I can only see up to June. (on the same article, even the
right-hand end of the infobox is missing).

I haven't seen this discussed previously; and it's such a significant
loss of content that I think resolving it should be a high priority.

I'm using an HTC Desire HD, with the default browser.
