See the table in the Wikipedia entry referred to by the URL. In the row labeled "Central African Republic", the name "Centraal-Afrikaanse Republiek" is surrounded by triple apostrophes on either side in the markup, but for some reason the second set of triple apostrophes seems to get interpreted as a single and a double apostrophe, which causes the rest of the text in the cell to get italicized.
The last item on the line is unbalanced, confusing the ambiguity detection. Fix the missing apostrophe.
Ah, I didn't realize the mistake down there could affect the beginning of the cell. Thanks!
Apostrophe handling is line-based, and that's all one line. Unfortunately since people do stupid things like use apostrophes for spelling ;) the system has to guess sometimes if you meant one apostrophe and an italic marker or a bold marker; if the markup isn't balanced properly, it can guess wrong.

During the last week I found examples using escaping syntax like here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%27N_Crugu_Bradului&diff=47877494&oldid=46721404 Please note that there is a second unbalanced situation related to the usage of the the parameter {{{NAME}}} which is rendered both bold and italic. Another syntax (used inside the pipe of wiki links) was using %27.
