Aug 2006 new article survey
Something a little different! Now I will review the first 20 articles to appear on the Special:Newpages list, clicked at about 6 pm AEST. The colours after the entry indicate whether they are 'RED' or 'BLUE' users, or whether or not they have a user page (a rough indicator of noobishness).


 * 1) Mehrdad Azimi Deleted. I clicked on it a moment ago though and it was about a 13 year old boy. RED
 * 2) Unspeakables set of characters in Harry Potter. Unwikified, poor punctuation. RED
 * 3) Constitutional documents Legal stub. Wikified, with footnotes. Might have some geographical bias. BLUE

Mar 2006 random article survey
30 this time. Breakdown: oh dear.

No improvement since last time. In fact it appears to have gotten worse, with more and poorer stubs. This is hardly scientific though.
