The API doesn't seem to be async and thus usage of the below methods 
will cause unwanted freezes of the application which checks for or gets 
articles. So instead of the below you should create some WikipediaJobs 
(similar to KIO::Job) which check for and fetch articles and which then 
report the result via some signals.
