== Extracting article from Wikipedia ==

I would like to use some Wikipedia article as a resource
in my Web Site.
However, the Wikipedia format is two columns.
Left column is standard, and right column is the 
article itself. Everything is the one piece of HTML module. 
I need just the article (second column).

What is the direct and efficient technique to extract the material needed without disturbing all HTML setting of the original.

Thank you very much.

: Why not just mention the article in your references section? See [[Wikipedia:Citing Wikipedia]] for more information. If you really must have the full content of the article, then you should download a [http://download.wikimedia.org/ database dump] and run the data mining bot on your own server. Be sure to use the article in accordance with the [[GFDL]]. Some sites have already done this successfully; see [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]] for some examples and more information. --[[User:Diberri|Diberri]] | [[User talk:Diberri|Talk]] 17:41, Aug 11, 2004 (UTC)
