Description:
I'm using Chrome, a maximized window and a screen resolution of 1920*1080 to read article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cidade_Limpa. This is an example of a line in the article: "15,000 billboards were taken down.[1] Large support from the public was shown for the initiative, in face of private marketing campaigns by certain advertisers for the people to oppose the bans. Following the removal of advertisements, many remarked that they felt like they were in a new city. At". Way too long for readability. The page should restrict the maximum line length.

Hi, do you refer to the length of the sentence itself (the number of words)? If so, feel free to discuss on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Cidade_Limpa .
Or do you mean that the line is not wrapped in your internet browser? If so, a screenshot would be welcome.

I don't see any bug in the screenshot (you don't need to scroll horizontally), but everything as expected.
You can enforce a more narrow width by enabling "Typography Refresh" under "Beta Features".
