I can provide a list of the top 40,000 articles rated by quality according to the wikipedia editorial team. A random sample is unlikely to be interesting, as greater than 70% of articles are stubs.

In fact, if you tell me which article titles you are interested in, I can run those through, and load them in a secondary demo we have.
I may get around to posting the results only in early January though, as the break is fast approaching.

Could you possibly take a random sample of 2% of articles and examine
the full histories of those? 40,000 articles is more than enough for a
dem, and we can rig the sample to include some articles of interest if
needed.
