In wikipedia-mode I was unable to remove the line breaks, and thus 
was unable to insert this chunk into 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assisted_GPS  Assistance falls into 
two categories:
# Using information known to the assistance server but not the GPS
receiver
#* It can supply [[ephemeris|orbital data]] or almanac for the GPS
satellites to the GPS receiver, enabling the GPS receiver to lock 
to
the satellites more rapidly in some cases.
#* The network can provide precise time.
#* The device captures a snapshot of the GPS signal, with 
  approximate
time, for the server to later process into a
position.<ref>[http://www.geotate.com]</ref>
#* Accurate, surveyed coordinates for the [[cell site]] towers 
  allow
better knowledge of local [[ionospheric]] conditions and other
conditions affecting the GPS signal than the GPS receiver alone,
enabling more precise calculation of position. (See also
[[Wide Area Augmentation System]] and
[http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/CellHunter CellHunter].)
# Calculation of position by the server using information from the 
 GPS
receiver
#* The assistance server has a good satellite signal, and 
  plentiful
computation power, so it can compare fragmentary signals relayed 
to it
by GPS receivers, with the satellite signal it receives directly, 
and
then inform the GPS receiver or emergency services of the GPS
receiver's position.

Can you please describe in more detail what you did?

Did you generate the text in wikipedia-mode? That would
surprise me because in that mode emacs should produce
"longlines".

Or did you copy the text from somewhere? Even so it is
strange since text from say a Word processor such as
Openoffice usually comes with "longlines".

What functions did you try out in order to get rid of the
linebreaks?

The text below is the text in question, I just copied it
into a file (test2.wiki) applied 
(wikipedia-unfill-article)

And it worked as expected.

Well that is the version I sent once to emacs sources. I
have a newer version, the last changes are couple of weeks
old, however the filling functions should work in version
you are using besides Mark wanted to merge wikipedia-mode
with mediawiki mode. So I don't know what to do, sending my
upgraded version wait for a decision of the others.
