All I did, was
1- copy the main wikipedia url to the clipboard
2- Hit the IQ hotkey (mine is Win-N)
3- Enter some item description (in this case Wiki test)
4- Paste into the URL textbox
5- Check Copy Content (if not already checked). I also like to capture in MHT format, though HTML is another option. There are more options you can choose (where it goes, give it a due date, etc)
6- Click Add Item
All hyperlinks work, including the show/hide in the top-right corner!

What exactly did you select? I selected the 4 main information boxes and it clipped correctly (in IQ)
