I get the same incorrect excerpt on Google.co.uk. Someone probably edited the Wikipedia page, probably the page headers where Google might be taking the excerpt from, Google scanned it, Wikipedia reviewers doesn't pick up anything since the headers don't display. Google has not re-scanned yet. I'm guessing something along those lines

All the other search engines I tried (Bing, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, etc) show the correct excerpt. Even Baidu's excerpt is correct as you can see here for yourself ;)
