We talked about this on Wikimania.

This make a second draw approach would also let you tune how often you
saw the bad articles. That is, if it's a bad article, then flip a coin
to see if you should make a second draw. Repeat if the new article is bad,
but never make more than N draws. Someone with time on their hands and a
The probability of displaying a bad page would be:
B q ((p B)^N - 1) / (p B - 1) + B (p B)^N
(modulo errors), where B is the fraction of bad pages, p is the
probability of repeating, q is the probability of displaying (so p+q =
1), and N is the allowed number of repetitions.

A naive approach would be
to ask for a random article that wasn't created by a
bot, but this is not to the point. Users want bot
generated articles to come up, only not so often.

The Swedish Wikipedia now has more than 1.5 million
articles, compared to 600,000 in January 2013 and
500,000 in September 2012. This is due to the creation
by a bot of many articles on animal and plant species.

Interesting. An
Just add all the non-bot articles to a category and use
