[Developers] Full article text

[brendan]

note: not all freebase topics have an equivalent wikipedia article  
(one can consider freebase topics a superset of wikipedia articles) so  
your code might handle the case where there is no wikipedia article,  
in which case you might look to see if the freebase article exists:

{
   "/common/topic/alias" : [],
   "/common/topic/article" : {
     "id" : null
   },
   "id" : "/topic/en/radiohead",
}
