Here you can view the results of previous "10 random pages" tests I've done:

[edit] Test of October 23, 2005

1. Narasimham - Movie stub, mediocre. Copyedit wouldn't hurt and could use at least an infobox and an external link. No categories. (7)

Down to (2) now after edits.

2. Play It Again, Charlie Brown - Animated T.V. special stub, borderline "bad". Accept IMDB link as ref (4)

Did a bit of copyedit, but I doubt this article can be expanded beyond what it is now. Stays at (4)

3. Sparwood, British Columbia - Geography stub. One of the best stubs of its kind I've seen so far. No refs or external links. (4)

Down to (2) now.

4. List of rabbis - Incomplete list but quite good. (2)

Nothing I can really do about this. Stays at (2).

5. Music of Xinjiang - Almost perfect, but lacks sources. (2)

Added an interesting journal reference. Down to (0).

6. Booth Taylor - Bad biography stub. No cats, needs cleanup. (7)

After some research the true name of this guy happened to be Brook Taylor so I redirected the page (no points).

7. MiniCD - Surprisingly mediocre stub. No refs or external links (e.g. to specs). Needs cleanup. (6)

Couldn't do much about this one. Stays at <6>

8. Significane Of Valley Forge On American History - Unwikified mediocre stub. Misspelled title, needs refs, no cats, copyedit, and merging with Valley Forge. (10)

Tagged for merging and hope for the best. I don't really know enough about this to improve it. Down to (9).

9. The Unholy War - Mediocre videogame stub. No cats, no infobox, no external links. (6)

Infobox, stubbed, cat. Couldn't find a proper external link. Down to (4) since it still needs a source.

10. Swiss Federal Council - Thumbs up, but could be expanded a bit more, e.g. give some background on the institution. (2)

President of the Swiss Confederation covers some of the history. Article still lacks sources, but after checking the external link is enough. Down (1)

Average before: 5.0 / After: 3.3

[edit] Test of October 25, 2005

1. Semipalatinsk Test Site. Great article! External links satisfy the references requirement. (0)

2. Duncton Wood. "Good" stub, though lead could be longer. Could use some sort of reference. (3)

Found no adecuate reference. Stays at (3).

3. Audio programming language. "Bad" stub with merge tag. Includes incomplete list. (6)

Mediocre stub "merged into". List has been updated. Down to (3).

4. Clue Club. Nice article. No complaints. (0)

5. Łęczna. "Mediocre" town stub. No refs. Will be hard to improve. (4)

At least got an external link now. Down to (3).

6. Jay Township, Minnesota. Rambot article. Inherently mediocre, sorry. No external source. (3)

Found no website for township itself. (3).

7. Gonzalo de Berceo. No sources, no cats, no external links, needs attention. (6)

Done, but somebody else reviewing wouldn't hurt. Down to (2).

8. Rensselaerwyck. "Mediocre" stub, almost bad. Needs attention, cats, sources. (7)

Quite improved since I last saw it. "Good" stub that has been reworked, wikified, got cats and external links. Down to (2) due to sources.

9. Feet of Clay. Complete article. Quite good, but then this is a Terry Pratchet article. (0)

10. Ryan Radmanovich. "Mediocre" stub. (2)

Added external link, but article remains at (2).
