User:R. fiend/22 Random Pages Test

This is a repeat of my 28 Random Pages Test, only I got bored after 22 this time. Done in January 2005.


 * 1) GOST - Article dealing with cryptology. I'm interested in cryptology, but I don't know too much about the technical elements of it. I find this article confusing. I prefer it when articles like this are written slightly more in layman's terms.
 * 2) Chinkapin oak - Stub. Not a bad one though.
 * 3) Federalist Papers - Obviously an important subject, and looks like a well-written article (to be honest this experiment is supposed to go quickly so I'm not reading all the longer articles in full). And it appears it's not an adapted EB 1911, which is always a plus.
 * 4) JDBC type 2 driver - Computer stuff which means nothing to me. Could probably use more links to explain some of the terms. Also not a great layout, as the diagram takes up the first half of the page.
 * 5) Kafr ash Shaykh - Almost a substub on an area in Egypt. Better than nothing I guess. At least it has a map.
 * 6) Battle of Hastings - Looks good. Part of it at least is EB 1911. Could maybe use a few links in the latter part, which has none.
 * 7) China Eastern flight 5210 - An airline crash last year. The title should probably have the word "accident" or "crash" in it. The article was laid out in the one sentence per paragraph style, but I fixed most of that.
 * 8) Seamanship - Tagged as needing attention, and I guess it sort of does. For something that's bound to be little more than a dicdef it has enough links to realted subjects to make it worthwhile.
 * 9) Performance problem - Looks pretty good. Perhaps some unnecessary bolding though.
 * 10) Frosting spatula - Very short article, but I'm not sure how much more can be said on a frosting spatula.
 * 11) Cana (unit of length) - Another very short article. Sort of interesting though.
 * 12) Fields Medal - Looks good. I'm impressed that all the winners have their own articles (though I haven't checked to see how good any of them are; I suspect some are sub-par).
 * 13) H.M. Walker - Short article; minor guy. Looks fine.
 * 14) SABMiller - Brewer. Not terribly interesting article. Chairman, CEO and CFO are redlinks, and they probably shouldn't be linked at all. I'm wary of even mentioning them in cases like this, as I'm unsure if anyone bothers updating these things ever.
 * 15) Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity - Article on a book. I often wonder where the line is drawn in including books, as we certainly can't have an article on every book ever written. This seems notable enough, I suppose.
 * 16) Guillaume Durand - Another from EB 1911, which I'm not a huge fan of. I think an advantage of WP over EB is it's readability, in general, and cut and pastes from EB don't help that. Still, the article is pretty good.
 * 17) John Hayes (harness racer) - Pretty good article. Doesn't go into absurd details.
 * 18) Miscellaneous Space Marine Chapters - I remember this discussion on VfD. These chapters previously had their own articles, and the compromise was to list them here. I still maintain that they're subtrivial and deserved a sentence each in a Warhammer or Space Marines article. Really needs cleanup.
 * 19) Nick Cannon - OK article. Not terribly well-written.
 * 20) Duc de Noailles - You don't think of French Dukes being around any more, but I guess they are.
 * 21) Fallout - disambig. Seems to me it should redirect to nuclear fallout with a link to the game at that article.
 * 22) In Which We Serve - Pretty good movie article. I'll add an IMDb tag later.
