Data I'd like to see summarised in a list of articles to be checked:

• Date of article creation
• Date of most recent edit to the article
• Result of copyvio check
• Google search on page title
• Name of article creator
• Analysis of contributions of article creator (to detect SPAs and new editors)
• Article size
• Presence or absence of stub templates and/or article rating from talk page (if rating exists)
• Number of external links
• Use of reference tags
• Number of edits made since creation
• Crude analysis of rate (frequency) of editing and what sort of edits (reverts, minor, etc.)
• Diff comparing original and current article
• Amount of IP editing
• Amount of editing by redlinked accounts (no user page)
• Amount of editing by blocked accounts
• Detect any page blankings that took place
• Detect vandalism reverts made by anti-vandalbots
• Detect vandalism reverts made by editors (examine edit summaries)
• Report how many editors have the article watchlisted and how active those editors are
• Report talk page activity and list wikiproject tags
• Report number of incoming links from article space and list them
• Report incoming links that are redirects
• Report number of incoming links from other namespaces and list them
• Detect AfDs if they exist ({{la}} and its variants are useful)
• Detect additions of PROD or CSD tags in the article history
• Report any activity in the logs (e.g. previous deletions, page protections, page patrolling)
• Report any interwiki links
• Report result of search on other wikis
• Report date of page patrolling (or absence of such) and name of patrolling editor
• Report the number and types of categories (differentiate between normal and templated categories)
• Report the cleanup-type tags added and when added

That's 32 things listed so far. Any missing? How much of this is possible or already done by various tools? Carcharoth (talk) 13:45, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
