Some equivalent of "random article" 100 times fast. But what if Wikipedia
100 years from now is delivered via wireless neural network, in the form of
direct memory transfer? Then maybe you would need more than that 10 minute

protected for years, or was in the middle of an edit war. Or that the
entire encyclopedia had been 'checked' and published and was
'finished'? Would that be a cause for celebration or not? OK, I
suppose this is all missing the point of the question...
