User:EWS23/The 10 Random Pages Test

Many people have done this, and I'm certainly not going to take credit for it. Click random page 10 times, and see what the quality of those articles is. See also: Category:Random Pages Tests.

1. Emperor Daizong of Tang, decent little 3 paragraph article with succession box, but no sources
2. Binary search algorithm, good computer science article complete with example code
3. Douglas Democrat, crappy little stub, probably needs to be merged with Stephen Arnold Douglas
4. Ramón Ayala, good length article with a picture of the subject. Could probably use headers to sort the information
5. James Mackay (New Zealand politician), decent little article, but largely focuses on one event and has no sources
6. Gerald Meyer, short stub about an academic, not sure how much it could verifiably be expanded
7. Lovász local lemma, statistics article, complete with example and references
8. Nathan D. Baxter, short stub about a clergyman who may have borderline notability. Has passed an AfD in the past, though.
9. Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong, short article, but has a nice picture. Definitely potential for expansion by a knowledgable party. Good little start.
10. Wesley, Maine, standard Rambot article with no changes.

Summary: 7 out of 10 are basically start-class or worse. 2 out of 10 have an image of the subject (two or three of them probably couldn't have pictures, though). 4 out of 10 are poorly sourced. Conclusion? We still have some work to do, but it could be worse.
