Longer articles work fine on mobiles, because the lede is shown, followed by the other sections, collapsed, and which can be expanded individually if and when required by the user.

If the QR code is for use on mobile phones then we may not want much more than a stub either. What is the maximum article size that would work on the typical modern phone?

That's the sort of feedback I'm looking for, thanks.
I've no intention of vigorously arguing one way or the other, but I just feel it is inappropriate to point to a Wikipedia article that may never get much beyond stub status when orders of magnitude more content is elsewhere on WMF projects.

All good stuff, but...
A QR code could be placed at a relevant war memorial, it points to a Wikibook collecting all the soldiers' letters, with scans and transcripts.
I'd rather the QR code point (via QRpedia) to a Wikipedia article about the memorial, and have that point to relevant pages on commons/ Wikisource, and the book.
