Hello! Thanks for submitting this issue.

I can't recreate the problem, but I also see that the date on this article is different from the one in the original issue, so maybe the site has been updated and Mercury is able to parse it in a way it wasn't before. Screenshots of the original article and the parsed version attached.

I'm going to close this, but please feel free to open another issue if you see this problem again. Thanks!
