[Foundation-l] Top posters, special edition
Sometime in the past year I stopped posting the top posters list because it was seen as not useful and perhaps encouraging the type of behavior it was, in fact, meant to discourage. Even so, I thought I might post this special edition of top posters. The numbers come from Erik Zachte's list page, and sum posts for the top 25 posters from Jan 08 to Feb 09. Thomas Dalton 753 GerardM 738 David Gerard 450 Ray Saintonge 405 Anthony 403 Milos Rancic 381 geni 359 Anthere 323 Dan Rosenthal 316 Chad 311 Nathan 283 Mark Williamson 276 Andrew Whitworth 273 Geoffrey Plourde 253 Erik Moeller 229 Jussi-Ville Heiskanen 224 effe iets anders 220 Mike Godwin 197 Robert Rohde 188 Gregory Maxwell 182 Michael Bimmler 167 Michael Snow 161 Yaroslav M. Blanter 154 Brian 152 Of interest is that Thomas Dalton was the top poster in 8 of 14 months, and GerardM in 4. That is dedication, certainly. Nathan -- Your donations keep Wikipedia running!

Thomas Dalton 753 That's the result of having to write a master's thesis! Actually, I think that list is very positive - we have 25 people all posting at least an average of 5 posts a day. That's a large, active community. 753 emails is a frightening number (I don't know how I've sent that many...) but as a proportion of total emails sent, it's not that high.

Your posts constitute 2.4% of the total number of posts to the list since its creation in 2004, according to this page. [1] There are six people that have posted more than you (including GerardM), but you began posting in Feb 07 while the next most recent of those six (GerardM) began posting in Jan of 2005. As for 25 people averaging 5 posts per day... Only the top 3 average more than one post per day. You mean as a whole, I suppose?

Sorry, somehow I managed to do the sum for 1 month, not 13 months... not sure how (that's why one should also sanity check results...)! My point stands, my maths is just nonsense. ___ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
