Top 100 Local Guides in each Country (December 2022)

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Actually when updating my own stats I did notice the new fields order and was tempted then and there to make the necessary changes in the data entry system but it wasn’t a priority then but I will certainly tackle this during the holidays :slightly_smiling_face:

Yes the Country Summary leaderboard is certainly an interesting one and packed with a lot of details and allows us to make many interesting observations that without the summary, we would otherwise not have been able to easily see. The number of Local Guides in a given country is certainly an interesting outcome that the Country Summary leaderboard raises to the surface. I have a hunch that we can learn something from this!

I’m not sure that I agree with our comment about the performance of countries with larger Local Guide communities but perhaps this needs more analysis.

If people forget or choose not to update their data they remain on the board with their last updated data but of course run the risk of taking a slide down the leaderboards and potentially even off the leaderboards. I described this in the leaderboard documentation as self cleansing feature of the leaderboards.

Regarding your last comment, as you know I have been collecting contribution data across all areas almost from the very start and I had in fact planned to release this month what you have mentioned but sadly,some things had to be held back because, together with some technical issues and the one that popped up at the very last minute regarding Connect’s number of characters per message limit, time was my enemy so some things that I wanted to release were had to be postponed. This, together with other nice things I have in the pipeline (hint, hint @Stephanie_OWL ) gives us something to look forward to in 2023.

Finally, the Average Star Views/Day metric is over the lifetime of the star photos. Having said this, I had thought about also providing a moving average for both this metric and the Average Views/Photo.

Hopefully I have answered all your questions!
