wikipedia is just a pile of junk. everyone can put in it, and 
unfortunately do.

in EVERY article i watched in area i have knowlege there were bugs. in 
most - big nonsenses.

in others - probably too, i just don't have required knowledge to check 
it.

wget should do. select an option to limit downloads to wikipedia, but with 
unlimited recursion, start from almost any place.
