How do I fix the Wikipedia language that is showing up for a venue I added?

I added created this entry for the venue, Jesus-Christus-Kirche Dahlem:

https://musicbrainz.org/place/6213398f-b062-4e59-b88e-9eb2809838a0

This was the recording site for an album, which I also added here. The site is in Germany, and since there was no entry for it on the English Wikipedia, I added a link to the German entry. Oddly, MusicBrainz is extracting text from the Japanese entry.

Have I made a mistake, presumably by missing some steps, or is this a bug in the MusicBrainz backend?

The way the language for the Wikipedia extract is determined isn’t very smart at the moment. Improvements are on the way though.

Good to know it wasn’t my fault

There’s one easy fix! Write an English Wikipedia article

Ok, that might not be that easy.
