a gem is available, so fire up your terminal:
$ gem install wikipedia
it's easy:
irb(main):001:0* require 'wikipedia'
irb(main):002:0>
irb(main):003:0* connor = Wikipedia::article 'John Connor'
irb(main):004:0> connor.first # just the first paragraph

irb(main):001:0> require 'wikipedia'
irb(main):002:0> apple = Wikipedia::article 'apple'
irb(main):003:0> apple.ambiguous?
