Wikipedia is getting bigger, but is it getting better as a whole? To take a bite at this question, I decided to see what the ten random pages test will give me. I will be repeating the test, after improving the needing pages, having seen them improve, or just getting bored.
My scoring rules:
- 1 - page lacks something essential, ex. categories, content, proper formatting
- 2 - page has the essentials, but doesn't have enough content to merit it's existence
- 3 - page has content, but needs more work, or is unencyclopedic
- 4 - page is OK, and would benefit from a bit more work
- 5 - page meets all my expectations
Note that my scores are subjective!
[edit] Test on 11.11.2005
- The Threat Within - Star Wars book description taken from some website (3/5)
- Gaius Suetonius Paulinus - a fine history page that should be expanded (4/5)
- Tenerife Airport - disambiguation... trying again: OQL - uncategorized esoteric computer science stub (1/5)
has been redirected to Object Query Language Karol 09:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC) - Damascus affair - interesting history that needs a pinch of cleanup (4/5)
cleaned up a bit by me Karol 15:02, 15 June 2006 (UTC) - Casino Kid 2 - video game info (2/5)
has been improved somewhat Karol 09:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC) - Esgalduin - Tolkien-cruft stub (2/5)
expanded a bit Karol 09:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC) - Shape table - page is fine, but I wonder who could want to read it... (4/5)
formatted and added category Karol 23:02, 11 November 2005 (UTC) - Grendon - needs work, but good material (3/5)
- Battle of Maldon - a nice history page that reads well (5/5)
- SIP - disambiguation... trying again: Nick Sagan - page is short but OK (4/5)
That gives an average of 3.2 out of 5. It seems that I had some luck with these random pages, compared to the tests I've seen on other users' pages.
[edit] Test on 14.06.2006
- Julien Dubuque Bridge - more than most people care to know about bridges, written quite well. (5/5)
- Necho (crater) - nothing special about this crater on the Moon, but page looks nice. (4/5)
- Sándor Kőrösi Csoma - I'm intruiged, but not satisfied with the content. (3/5)
- Morinda Spruce - a fien tree page... an image would spruce it up. (4/5)
- Dave Flemming - not very prominent, or interesting, kind of disorganized. (3/5)
- The Wind Done Gone - nice literature page, could use some more review/analysis. (4/5)
- James George Anson Butler, 5th Marquess of Ormonde - genealogy stub. (2/5)
- Spills & Chills & Other Thomas Thrills - unencyclopedic VHS info. (2/5)
- Clive Beddoe - short bio that needs more work and cleanup. (3/5)
- Ischiorectal fossa - anatomy article with nice image. (4/5)
This test gave an average of 3.5 out of 5, a bit better than before. Am I still having good luck?
