Article feedback/Public Policy Pilot/Additional Pages

We are compiling a list of 50 additional articles to apply the Article Feedback Tool on. The objective of putting the tool on these pages is to see the before/after ratings for articles that undergo significant changes and/or spikes in readership. The first and foremost question we're trying to answer is: Do reader ratings (in aggregate or segmented) reflect useful observations of quality, or are they too superficial to be useful? These pages should therefore meet the following criteria:

Articles where we know there will be a significant amount of edit activity in the coming 1-2 months.
Are not yet substantially written.

For example:

True Grit (2010 film) is a good candidate since the movie which will be release in December, yet the article is still short.
Tron: Legacy is not a good candidate. Even though the movie will be released shortly, the article is already pretty long.

Additional articles candidates[edit]

Please add articles candidates to the following list (and "approved" articles to this section):

Economy of Iran
~~Mono Lake~~ Done
~~Arsenic-based life~~ Done
~~GFAJ-1~~ Done
~~Cheshire, Connecticut, home invasion murders~~ Done
~~True Grit (2010 film)~~ Done
~~Black Friday~~ Done
- Based on last year, we can expect a reasonable amount of good-faith and bad-faith edits. There was no substantial expansion, so we shouldn't count on a measurable increase in quality. It would be interesting to observe how vandalized revisions are rated.
~~Egyptian Parliamentary Election, 2010~~ Done
~~Kosovon Parliamentary Election, 2010~~ Done
~~Haitian General Election, 2010~~ Done
~~98th Grey Cup~~ Done
- Other sports articles would be interesting, too, as they typically undergo fairly dramatic expansion during the event.
~~Dragon COTS Demo Flight 1~~ - NASA launch scheduled for December 7th, 2010. Done
~~The Promise~~ - Bruce Springsteen album scheduled for release on December 16th, 2010. Done
- You can pick any number of albums from this handy MetaCritic release calendar. However, the big names (Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Decembrists, etc.) all have huge articles about these upcoming releases already. I did find this one by an American Idol runner-up, which might be a candidate.

How about anything that is used in the en:Template:In the news on the mainpage? Potentially, you could work with the folks who run that process to have the article feedback tool incorporated as part of their putting-things-on-the-mainpage processes (automatically? manually?).

- And on that note, articles that are coming up to be Featured Article of the day. Those are already looked over manually checked with a whole bunch of templates added to them already. It would be an issue of convincing people to add this template to our most visible articles but it would be a good way of getting a variety of good quality articles (by our own standards) with massive & predictable viewership spikes across an intentionally diverse range of subject areas.

Small holiday subarticles have often been around a long time but only get increased traffic around Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years. Examples of applicable stubs (there are better ones I'm sure) include:
- Christmastide
- Tree topper
