I just played a little bit with the "random

link for the random page again I was directed to "Skins" which seems ok,
but after that I came to "Raymond Davis Jr.
<http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raymond_Davis_Jr.>" who was linked as "see
also" on the page of Koshiba. IMHO the random page is not that random at
all, on the other hand this could really be a random coincidence. Maybe
some of you have an idea if the random mode needs to be modulated...

The random page on the English one isn't random either. You will regularly get
the same page again and again if you try a few times.
This is a shame, because one of the most impressive introductions to Wikipedia
is to have someone hit the random page link for a while. The repeating pages
kind of burst the bubble. :)
