And please stop asserting 80% of our articles are unsourced, when my informal check suggests that the number is more like 20%.
Ah how great random page is for sampling articles... Here's my 10 article "study":
[...]
40% no sources or external links, 30% one external link, 10% one broken external link, 10% one ISBN link, 10% two external links. Of the working external links, 3 were to primary sources, and 2 were to secondary sources.
Of course, 10 articles is hardly a scientific sample size.

Bah. I'll stick my neck out and say 50% of our articles have no sources or external links. Give or take 40%. 19 times out of 20. SCIENCE!!
No really, I think people doing their own small samples of Special:Random is a great idea. Truly random sampling is more "scientific" than you might realize. I am not a statistician, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if all you're trying to do is rule out the <20% and/or the >80% claim, then 25 clicks on Special:Random ought to be more than enough, 19 times out of 20.
