Top Contributor Leaderboard for November 2023 + Sneak Peek for the 2023 End of Year Standings

@TheTigerInMe1980​ 66,113 so far this month. Entertaining PS to read. Congrats on the top 300! If you want some extra information on your all time position provide me with your username or IMDb account id :)

@Nomissimon10​ 

How do you do that? Do you sleep, too? ^^

My alltime position should pretty much be the one in the sneak list. I've had basically close to no submissions prior to my engagement as of this June; so I only had a gold trivia badge, and a silver lifetime. Now, it sure looks a little more gold-ish...

But here you go: https://contribute.imdb.com/leaderboard/contributor/ur4054614/?ref_=lb_lb_cn

I'd be far more interested in the current top mini bio writer list. Will my count (1111, to be precise), be enough to make the list this year?

@TheTigerInMe1980​ The contributions are automated so yes I do sleep :P

The data about position and such is just compiled from all sources of information such as yearly top positions, yearly contributor lists, monthly contributor leaderboards etc. However specifically your mini bio writer contributions I can not figure out. Sorry.

However, your all time contributions puts you at approx. 561 place. Even though you have only contributed 6 months.

Comparing you to #500 place

@Nomissimon10​ 

Thank you.That's quite a decent place, for 6 Months contributing...

I do not yet know if I'll be able to keep that up next year, though. Many of the items I've submitted were web mini series, and the videos these creators have made over the years. So, of course, they won't make as much in one year...  I'll update them regularily, of course, but it is quite possible I'll fall in the lists... We'll see. I've also set my sights on the Plot Summary Writer Badge. Who knows...

@TheTigerInMe1980​ I wish you good luck for the rest of the year and in the year to come. ~45k is already a massive amount of contributions you should be happy with :)

I might update this post with some info about your ratings and such if you are interested

@Nomissimon10​ 

Thank you again. I am happy about my profile-site. It looks nice 😁​(Aside from the Oscar badge, I do not care about Oscars, but I will not un-vote for what I've seen, just so the badge disappears).

Regarding the Ratings: Go ahead. 😁​

@Nomissimon10​ 

Very interesting.

Question regarding the Badges: What do the numbers in the brackets mean (13/30) etc.?

Could be the seperate Levels of the Badge (1,5,10....)?

@TheTigerInMe1980​ Total obtainable. Usually regarding contribution badges 1 million is the max. So it is all the steps per badge.

@Nomissimon10​ 

Thought so - see my edit.

Hmm. That means I'm even further from the next Filmo Update than I thought... Oh, well.

My, my. Then you basically are stuck at 1000000+ with those badges where you already have them. I've always wondered why it won't update to the next level and figured that 1Mil+ must therefore be the limit.Maybe the Staff can implement new levels for those elitists that surpassed the 1 Mil+ at one point? Couldn't be that difficult, right?

I find it very interesting to look at your profile. Don't you want to golden up those silver and bronze badges, at some point ;)

@TheTigerInMe1980​ Yeah, I should probably work on those

Go ahead! 😉​

Trivia is actually pretty easy. That was my first Goldy, and up until late June this year, only one!

Name can be difficult, just as Bio. In the latter case: Go for the lesser known Individuals, even Athletes ( 😉​ ). New Names can also easily be added by checking the end-credits with regards to thanks/special thanks. (I've seen a short lately with 68 ST-Credits, none of which was listed here, so within the blink of an eye I've created round about 40 new names)...

@TheTigerInMe1980​ Thanks for the tip

Anytime :-)

I've just added some more episodes, even three new shows, which, if they are approved, will mean some more contributions for me. I've also found a show already listed, but in catastrophical data condition. I'll have to clean that up and can than continue updating it.

@ Col. Needham: Do I have to send you my bank connections at some point ^^

@ACT_1 

This comment was more helpful than the post👍

@ACT_1​ Why are you wondering if I contribute all from the same IP address? :D

(And no I do not, same account but 2-3 (to infinity depending on whether or not I am using my main computer together with a VPN or not) different IP's, 90% does however come from one of them with a static IP)

It is difficult to upload everything from different computers while still accounting for parallel tasks, errors and timeouts that might occur due to too many requests etc. So not much is done between multiple computers, the things I however have added to multiple computers is uploading accurate playtimes, and downloading images to upload to IMDb for episodes. I am yet to upload these, but they all need to be scanned and compared to each other which is quite a heavy task considering it has to:

------

I went on a complete tangent to my original response in the rest of this reply

1. Request the url for the image

2. Fetch the image

3. Fetch url for all other images for the same series

4. Compare the image to the two last and two first images that have been fetched for the same series (To avoid having to check 1000+ images if all are different while still checking that the closest images are unequal)

So max

1 api request

5 images downloads

1 database request

per image check. Considering it has to do almost 6.1 million checks like that I distributed that between servers.

(6.1 million api requests and 30.5 million images downloaded and compared)

There are around 4.950.000 images to check left, meaning it has done approx 16% of the checks so far. And out of those around 20k unique images have been found. So the total should be somewhere in the ballpark of 120k images. Which potentially could end up with around 250k contributions if I am pleased with the quality of the samples I look at. (Not considering the aspect of filtering away those who already have images for the episodes and the potential declines. The declined part will probably be pretty low, out of the 22.7 million total contributions I have around 21.304 declined items)

@Col_Needham​ you will for sure

@Col_Needham​ 

We are pretty close to each other. But I doubt I'll crack the Top 100.

Then again, I am already far higher in Rank than I anticipated - I'd have assumed I'll wind up somewhere in the 150-200 range; at best.

@Col_Needham​ 

Currently approx. #170 in total (lifetime) with 268.514 contributions.

Comparing your contributions with person in front/behind:

Unfortunately I could not give you more graphics as your overwhelming amount of ratings can't be stored in localstorage. (Only supports <10MB) Haven't moved it to IndexedDB yet. (80% of diskspace)

@Nomissimon10​ Thanks for the graph ...

Currently approx. #170 in total (lifetime) with 268.514 contributions.

My number ought to be higher than this, but because we did not even have a registration system at the time, the massive volume of filmography data I contributed in 1990-1996 via the database of credits which I manually collected from 1981 onwards is not tagged to my IMDb account.  I still contribute some filmography credits, mainly for festival premieres, but not at those 1980s to mid-90s levels.  

@Col_Needham​ you have still 20 days

@tatjana1984​ ... and so does everyone else contributing faster than me :-)

@Col_Needham​ if you want i can give you some bigger things to contribute

@tatjana1984​ I have plenty of things to contribute; the problem is finding the time outside of a busy work environment :-)

@Col_Needham​ i know that problem, i have things to contribute for the next 250 years for sure

@Col_Needham​ i have over 800 Screen Records of Credits of Arte Movies and series set on Private on youtube, over 37,000 Screenshots of Credits on the computer and so on

@Col_Needham​ 

Off Topic: could you please send me the reply to your answer regarding the AI gen. Bios again? I am shown a Page 404 if I want to click the notification.

@TheTigerInMe1980​ You should have the full text of my reply in the email notification.  Unfortunately the person who falsely accused you of being an AI bot has deleted the thread and so that removes all of the replies with it, hence the 404 message. 

All I wrote was that you had been falsely accused, you had proved that you were a real person and that we encourage you to continue contributing. 

@Col_Needham​ 

I have deactivated the eMail Not. for Replies.

That is good news.

I will continue contributing, don't worry. I might announce in advance (also in order to stop the same thing from happening again next year regarding summary Contributions), that I will add quite some Plot Summ. next year. I even leave some of them out for now, in order to have them credited for next years count. So, I hope noone will restart such a thing, claiming that isn't possible, blablabla.

PS: I assume, once you have a Top Bio Contr. Badge, you will always have it, or do you always need to stay in the Top 20 in this category?

@tatjana1984​ Do you mean your item count dropped or your position in the list?  We assume you mean the former, if so, remember this is the number of approved and live contributions made in 2023.  If names/titles/data items are deleted then this can lower the total since the items are no longer live, similarly a name/title/item merge ends up assigned to only one of the two (or more) original contributors. There are certain edits which can have the same effect.  It is difficult to diagnose after the fact and it very much depends upon the type of data you have been contributing. 

@Col_Needham​ i mean i had more submissions for the whole year last week than yesterday

@Col_Needham​ you will get to the Top 100

@Col_Needham​ I'm much closer (101). That means you'll have to get past me. Good Luck, trying 🐯​

I am, however, very curious whether or not #2 and 3 remain in that order or if there will be a switch; same thing with #4 & 5. It is also very likely Nomissimon10 might crack the million! 👍​

@TheTigerInMe1980​ I doubt I will round 15m. Don't have anything in the submission que, so if I wanted to round 15m I would be completely reliant on all the main titles to be accepted quickly so that the episodes might be added to them. (If I were to put in tens of hours finding the titles to upload) But thanks for the belief in me :D

@Nomissimon10​ You'll manage ;-) If you pull off another year like that, I believe you wind up All Time #1. Oh well; as long as we are having fun contributing (and the datas are corrrect!), all is well.

@TheTigerInMe1980

It is starting to get pretty close, but I doubt I will ever pull of another year like 2023.​

@TheTigerInMe1980​

@Col_Needham​ I'm much closer (101). That means you'll have to get past me. Good Luck, trying 🐯​

I’m #2 and not particularly concerned about my 2023 ranking. My primary goal this year was upward movement on the All-Time rankings, from 4th place to 3rd. There’s a good chance I might achieve that. Had I not been sidelined by a personal tragedy in November and unable to submit anything, my bronze would have been assured. No worries. Such is the suspense of life!

@Nomissimon10​ Very impressive graph!

@Nomissimon10 @skip_eastport 

As is always said in the letter: The Contributors are the life blood of ImdB. That goes for each and everyone; and Contributors like you might even set an example for others to join the fun. Maybe not in the dimensions you put up, but to some degree. As a German saying goes "Kleinvieh macht auch Mist!"

@skip_eastport Sorry for your tragedy. I hope you can/could put it behind you.

@jeorj_euler I've noticed you keep liking my comments. Thanks. But, what is so likeable there? :-)
