Description Elitre 2014-02-14 10:56:32 UTC

The edit added <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-ansi-language:EN-GB;mso-fareast-language:
EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA"> to a newly added reference.
It was reported by NicoV at fr.wp, I haven't had a chance to see if it can be reproduced or how yet.

<span style="... mso-..."> It's a copy/paste from Microsoft Office => Word

mso + wysiwyg on google => general trouble
