[Developers] [site-feedback] [feature] Article text

[Brian Karlak]

Hello Dave and Igor --

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and our apologies for the  
delay in reply.

We recently modified how content was stored in our blurb store, and in  
doing so inadvertently broke the api/trans/raw service for wikipedia- 
derived content.  We hope to have a content update deployed today that  
will fix this issue.

However, please note that freebase does not store the full wikipedia  
article text.  The api/trans/raw service will return the first 1200- 
characters of the source wikipedia article the topic was derived from.

Thanks,
Brian
