Upgrade StorageCOinS & Wikipedia
Use COinS to input reference from Wikipedia. (Geeze this is slick...)

After import the pages field has this: 109 & ndash ; 111
I used some extra spaces no to get html to convert this to dash it should be...
So the HTML tag for a dash is there instead of a dash.

The COinS is
rft.pages=109%26ndash%3B111
it should be
rft.pages=109%E2%80%93111

I agree that's a terrible idea and several regular posters here have made the point to WP on that page, but so far without success.
This was not an issue with the citation template. The citation was simply entered incorrectly on Wikipedia as
109–111Edit: Well, actually it's not incorrect. It's just unnecessarily escaped. I'll try to get this fixed on Wiki's end.
