This almost works except that gnus-summary-tick-article is not
interactive so I get the error 
   "Wrong type argument: commandp, gnus-summary-tick-article"

So shouldn't gnus-summary-tick-article be interactive like *-forward
and *-backward?  Otherwise I have to write something like

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "!"
  (lambda (n) (interactive "p") (gnus-summary-tick-article)))

Also, for dormant articles, there is only one command,
gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant.  Maybe there should also be
gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant-forward and
gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant-backward, with *-forward as the default
for "?".

I was also thinking that if the non-movement versions of these
commands were given numerical arguments, it would be nice if the next
n articles were marked, but the current article stayed the same.
Here's as near as I could come up with for dormant articles on short
notice.  (I hope it doesn't make anyone feel sick)

(define-key gnus-summary-mode-map "?"
  (lambda (n) (interactive "p")
    (progn
      (gnus-summary-mark-as-dormant n)
      (previous-line n))))

I'm sure that using previous-line here is a bad idea but I'm not sure
what's the correct function.
