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

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

Test of October 25, 2005
