Just did it myself; opened 20 "random article" tabs and checked them for
cohesiveness and such.
The "good" articles were:
1. [[Massachusetts State Police]]
2. [[Owl Creek Mountains]]
3. [[Palmer Lake, Colorado]] (rambot)
4. [[Hopewell Junction, New York]] (rambot)
5. [[Dewey Square]]
6. [[Robber baron (industrialist)]]
The "bad" articles were:
1. [[Raycom National Tower]]
2. [[Jean Paré]]
3. [[Serge]]
4. [[Hartogs' lemma]]
5. [[Armus]]
The "marginal" articles were:
1. [[D M Vasudevan]]
2. [[Munsu Cup Stadium]]
3. [[Donald Oliver]]
4. [[Treaty of Passarowitz]]
5. [[Ernest Vessiot]]
Apart from that I got two lists and two articles that I really wasn't
sure about.
So: 30% good, 25% bad, 25% marginal bordering on bad, and 20% neutral.
I'd guess that the actual proportion of "good" aritcles is somewhere
between 20 and 30 percent.
