The problem is that the article is full of invisible breakable hyphens. My immediate thought is this has been copied from somewhere, so probably violates copyright.

This is what it looks like when you copy/paste to notepad:

Skoog's family em-i-grat-ed to Amer-i-ca in 1869. Af-ter a few years, they moved to Chi-ca-go, Ill-i-nois, where he was a church mu-sic di-rect-or and taught in a pa-roc-hi-al school. He used a mid-dle ini-tial, but had no mid-dle name.

It's easy to fix - just search/replace the special hyphen character with nothing. I'll leave it though, in case others want to see this weird bug.

This may not be the right place, but I found an extremely weird bug when trying to wikify

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_L._Skoog

try wikifying that article. I thought it was just me, but if it is I've tried twice now, and both times the [['s end up in the wrong place...
