Yoruba Wikipedia had a problem with a user who filled the entire place up with non-encyclopedic nonsense. They tried to delete most of his articles, but it was just too massive of an effort. So currently, the article # there is a bit inflated by texts that probably belong at Wikisource, and whose copyright status is dubious as well.

http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

Try it a few times.

Here's my attempt:

http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Images_of_Women_in_the_Poetry_of_Akinwumi_Isola - the table of contents of a book http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manbila/Mambila ? http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orisa_nla_(Obatala) - Passage copied from a book http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accurate - Dictionary definition http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kika_asiko - Passage from a book http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ede_Yoruba_(oro_akoso) - Passage from a thesis http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Besimisaraka_(Betsimisaraka) - Explanation of a Malagasy word (?) http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/.at stub about the .at TLD http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_February - Page that mentions that 15 Feb is the 46th day in the Gregorian calendar http://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oluyemisi_Adebowale_(Emerging_Perspectives) - Table of contents of another book

For verification of my story check here: http://yo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&us...

Over 1500 pages have already been deleted, but the place is still full of bad pages that need removal.
