Thanks for the suggestion, I've updated the leaderboard to include links to profiles now.

Thanks ACT_1, this refers to IMDb data contributors, not Sprinklr community stats. I've amended my post to make this clearer now.

I think this is just for one week.

Yeah I'm thinking it's just for the week too.

Well, logic dictates that there is an involvement of automation or more than one human being (each using a distinct device) logged into the same account, on top of the particular data type being an easy one to edit quickly, combined with very fast broadband Internet connections, very fast computer cores.

Thanks adrian and congratulations on your current position on the board! To confirm yes this is from March only. Unfortunately I cannot answer direct questions about other accounts, but these numbers are in line with the hall of fame EOY totals.

@Will 

This is not about an individual contributor but it is something IMDb probably needs to address. The top contributor has almost as many contributions as the next 4 top contributors combined. The 57k contributions breaks down to 5.5 contributions every minute of every day for the week. That is impossible for a single human being. IMDb does need to address how this is possible and what is acceptable conduct so that other contributors feel there is a fair playing field (which currently there does not seem to be.) If it is a bot making contributions, then one also has to wonder about the accuracy of said contributions (especially seeing how may wrong entries I correct on a daily basis).

I wondered about this too. I'm afraid IMDb won't respond though....

The may be ways we have not through of to "farm" for contributions. I'm still amazed at the speed, though. The computer and network that I use does not even load IMDb's web pages fast enough for distinct submissions to be made within, say, thirty seconds, maybe fifteen seconds minimum. Of course, as we know, a single submission can contain a multitude of items to be added, corrected or deleted, which quickens things but increases the load on computer resource utilization and network resource utilization.

inespape-1's numbers went down last year. She is slacking.

For what it's worth, Col specifically said she is not a bot.

Come to think of it, I just remembered the feature for migrating the credits of cast and crew across many multiples of episodes, along with similar features. The number of episodes can be multiplied by the number of persons so as to calculate the number of individual migration items. If somebody were to frequently find series in dire need of such adjustments, then he or she would be able to make large numbers of updates in a short amount of time, all without necessarily consuming a lot of computer/network resources. Badabing!

Thanks everyone for your submissions in week 2, just to clarify that the new totals listed above are rolling covering week 1 and 2 items, not a brand new total for week 2 items only. We hit a total of 909,164 items from the leaderboard so far in March alone! That's an additional 42,450 items in comparison to week 1 and puts us at an average of 64,940 items a day, 2,705 an hour and 45 per minute. 

We had 66 new users join the leaderboard this week, hello to all and congratulations on being featured on week 2. The highest position for a new leaderboard entrant was azuraring-84989 who climbed to position 54, congratulations azuraring-84989!

Special shout-outs to zoltanakos who jumped a whopping 195 positions week on week, and to Perspicuity1, who submitted the most items outside of inespape-1 in week 2! 

I moved up a spot. Woo hoo!

WOW !!

It sounds like you've been doing some great research, good work daniel_francis_gardecki!

another suggestion ...

Put :

Week 2:

etc  in a separate read only thread - easy to compare weeks

and keep all comments to be added to this thread

Well, certainly a submission can contain updates to or corrections of multiple items, along with additions and deletions. In the cast section of a title page, each reference therein to a name page is a distinct item (comprised of three data fields). Concordantly, in the filmography section of a name page, each reference therein to a title page is a distinct item (comprised of three data fields). The items of a submission would be the individual changes made or to be made to the content of the database, not at the field level but the item level. So, those are two contexts for the meaning of "item" on IMDb.

I am not sure of all the details of what counts as "an item" in all parts of the data but as far as I know, for anything that can be submitted via the usual contribution form a new item would be what is labelled "New #1" etc. and an existing item what is controlled by a single "Keep/Correct/Delete" selector. Adding a piece of trivia or a goof will take more work than adding a single keyword but as far as I know each counts as one item.

I do not know how the scoring works for additions, corrections and deletions but I suspect that if you try to gain extra points by adding an item then correcting it it will not work (and might even count against you). Adding incorrect information that is later deleted is not likely to increase you score either and will probably damage your reputation as a reliable contributor.

The existence of the weekly leader board indicates that the system that processes these numbers has changed at least to the extent of doing the count more often. There may be other changes too so what I know may be out of date.
