BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=906767&group_id=34373&atid=411192

On 
  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?
title=Wikipedia:Cleanup&dummy=1&diff=2565859&oldid=25
52632 
where texts starting lines 712 and 737 respectively are 
compared, 4 paragraphs of 3 to 14 words each were 
deleted, but the first, reading
  [[Organizational theory]] - needs spell checking, 
paragraphs 
is shown as being changed to the text of the 1st non-
deleted one following those 4, which reads
  [[Wen Tianxiang]] unwikified
(The other 3 deleted 'graphs are accurately shown as 
deleted.)

This diffs output does not misdescribe the contents of 
the texts, and i know this is an expensive task to do to 
the satisfaction of wet-ware. But i have the impression 
WP usually does it much better than this one, so 
possibly this exercises a bug that makes the algorithm 
give up a little early at trying to match the Wen 
Tianxiang graf in the two versions.

Thanks for your attention, and all the development 
effort.

This happens rarely, and is not a problem to anyone.
