Something like Ebay would actually make sense.  Yes, seriously.

Otherwise the article irritated me in that once again it cited the badly 
flawed 'Nature' study.  Once again, look at the page here

http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/bin/list2.fcgi?run=yes&projecta=Philosophy&namespace=0&pagename=&quality=&importance=&score=&limit=100&offset=1&sorta=Importance&sortb=Quality

which is Wikipedia's own estimate of how good the most important philosophy 
articles are.  (There are actually about 50 most important articles that the 
list omits, but never mind).
