That's 167 characters. Think we could get a 140 character requirement
added to [[Wikipedia:Lead section]]?

No functionality for links? For shame...
I developed an entire user help system once which required that all
information be one 23x80 character text frame, including a line of
navigation info and a line of the next prompt (useful: 21x80). That was
quite a challenge.
Wrapping a useful amount of encyclopedic info into Tweets is possible but
extremely painful. Especially as there's no links.
