Final 2008 statistics at 2008 Most active graticules and archived talk at Talk:2008 Most active graticules.

Editor's Note

The totals for January 2009 are in, and my local charts are updated with the results of Benjw hunting for expeditions - thanks! Our big monthly winner is Atlanta, Georgia in each category (you guys know that it's okay to document unsuccessful expeditions, right?). Runners up include Mannheim, Germany, Pforzheim, Germany, and my own Seattle, Washington.

I changed the chart around also, so all of 2008 is in one column. We will continue to grow through 2009, then do chart compaction again in early 2010.

See you next month! --Thomcat 17:58, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Not Quite on Topic

I would be interested in seeing a graph, automated if possible, showing the number of active graticules and the number of expeditions mounted on a month-to-month basis. I'm still trying to figure out if our sport is growing slowly, static, flaring up randomly in various places and then dying down again or what. The fact that I singlehandedly got Slave Lake an award last August says that things were pretty slow then. -Robyn 19:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Maps and Statistics shows total expeditions by week and expeditions by graticule, but not both combined. Dawidi also has (had? I can't find it anymore) a world map animated gif that showed the expeditions on a daily basis. - Danatar 08:54, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

That gives me a pretty good idea. Kind of too soon too tell. Thanks. -Robyn 15:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Updating statistics

If you're going to update the statistics, do it for every single graticule up to a date. Updating just your personal/favourite graticule is not helpful, as whoever updates the rest of the graticules will have to double check your counting anyway. I'm sure Thomcat won't mind help, but updating only one graticule while updating the "as of XXXX-XX-XX" is not helpful, and also misleading. --joannac 21:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I think at first that NWoodruff was excited about Atlanta breaking the record. I plan to verify all statistics, of course, and I usually do this a week after the end of the month, so the stragglers all update their expedition pages. --Thomcat 14:53, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
