This is a pretty impressive showing for someone just 4 weeks into the job: being named to the Forbes list of the 100 most powerful women: http://www.forbes.com/profile/lila-tretikov/
Note that increasing diversity is, according to the brief article, a top priority.

Well that's quite a quick leap :) I randomly barged in to Lila in an elevator a couple weeks ago (in all seriousness), and had a brief conversation with her. I am quite excited to see what the transition brings.

While I will agree that many of those articles could use significant improvement, I wouldn't take the assessments all that seriously; a lot of those articles have not been assessed in many years, despite intervening improvements.

Stub tags are notoriously bad for this (I've just rerated half a dozen of these; Toby, are you happy for me to update the list?)
On the other hand, we can take away a somewhat positive message from this as well:
Two articles are FA and 6 are GA/equivalent. Across enwiki as a whole, approximately 0.6% of articles are FA or GA class. So this subset of articles is perhaps ten times better than the average...

I didn't find a men only list, but their list of powerful people looks close enough. (!)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:99of9/powerpeople
I'll leave the ratings until after Andrew re-rates them ;-), but already there's a male redlink at #36 most powerful - interesting gap.

Done! All the stubs, at least. A couple of thoughts:
a) As expected, most of the stubs weren't :-). BLPs are not my forte, but I'd say there's nine at most, and two or three of those are marginal to be uprated.
[This is a pretty systemic problem with our talkpage ratings and stub tags: as Risker says, they get very stale. The sheer labour that would be required to keep them up-to-date on a systematic basis is daunting...]
b) Lots of mid-range start/C mediocrity as is so often the case with Wikipedia, lots of it with a reasonable amount of content but needing some hacking around to get into shape
c) If anyone is looking for a weekend project and is comfortable with political BLPs, I'd say Helen Clark is able to be pushed to GA with a bit of polishing and tidying, and Michelle Bachelet likewise. 10% of the list properly-reviewed would be nothing to sniff at.
(Bachelet has an odd gap in that the article doesn't seem to have anything from her current presidency, but otherwise it's quite well-structured and not overly recentist, which is unusual for a politician's biography!).

...I went through....in what took weeks, and Wikidata'd the heck out of everyone on this list.
The worst articles, the one's that need a lot of work, are the bottom half, for sure. The funniest to read is the Gisele Bundchen article. It needs a lot of work...to say the least and doesn't seem to be written by someone with a fashion background, to say the least.
The last half have articles that just seem like they were written by PR firms at times. My favorite take from the Bundchen article is:
"In 2008 Bündchen and Brady dished out turkey and all the trimmings unannounced to over 400 job trainees in Roxbury Massachusetts for Goodwill Industries International"
HA HA! Dishing it out..
I have now read all 100 articles. Shakira is my new favorite celebrity and Adriana Huffington is good at plagiarizing. And there are some REALLY rich women in China.

Hi Risker,
Of course you are right, but that is true across the encylopedia, so the relative abundances are probably comparable.
Sorting by "category" is interesting. We're doing particularly poorly for the women in business or technology, not too bad for women in politics, and pretty well for female celebrities.
