This page contains output from an experimental version of the uContribs program. Some notes for interpretation:
 * Beware of editcountitis! Counting number of edits gives no insight into whether the editor has actually made a contribution. Counting edits can however give some insight into where the editors interests lie in general terms.
 * The mainspace summaries here show the current status of the article (FA/GA/etc.) - but just because the editor has made many edits to the article does not mean that they were responsible for getting the article to its current rating.
 * Data is listed two different ways here:
 * The Career summary counts every contribution this editor has made (deleted edits excluded) and sorts by the combined total of article and talk edits. The career listing includes the "recent" edit count.
 * The "Recent" summary sorts the listing by recent edits, but still shows the career total edits. Recent is usually defined as 300 days-worth of edits.
 * Recent can be used to look at the editor's current interests. Career gives a look at everything they've been interested in since they started editing.
 * Wikipedia-space summaries have an additional section for "page families". A page family is defined as the summation of any page and all of its sub-pages (if there is a "/" in the pagename, the family name is the text before the first "/"). The page family summary shows (in brackets) the total number of pages within the family. Not all of these will be shown in the detail display if a detail cutoff is reached.
 * History scans for highly active editors can cause internal table overflows, which are noted either in the "small print" or within detail tables. In the case of an overflow, the most recent pages will be listed, and all edits to that page will be listed. The current limits are 8,000 pages, 800 page families, and 2,000 pages within a family. Thanks to various editors for consistently breaking the previously set limits!
 * Start date and total edits come from (<45,000 edits) either Interiot/wannabe_kate or the real Kate (river), depending on which is running at the time; (>45,000 edits) the en:wiki API and manual inspection of the first user edit. I have absolutely no clue whether any of these counts include deleted edits.
 * As of 22Dec08 (v.0.3b4), start date and total edits are from soxred93 and do not include deleted edits.
 * This program is in an experimental phase - if you spot any discrepancies in the data or presentation, please bring them to my attention! (Of course my software is always perfect the first time I write it, so I'm sure it's someone else's fault - but I'd still like to know ;) Franamax (talk) 11:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

ArbCom 2008 Candidates
ArbCom candidate listings use a uniform 300-day cutoff as the "recent" parameter and start counting back from 10 November 2008 (the day candidacies were accepted). This is to prevent the "recent" summaries from being affected by the current election and any possible aftermath from the previous one.

Sitting Arbitrators
Arbitrator listings use a uniform 300-day cutoff as the "recent" parameter and start counting back from 10 November 2008, to match the standing candidates. These listings use version 0.3b2, which eliminates an approx. 3.5% error under-reporting article status and an under-reporting error varying by run date (1%-1.5% for the candidate listings) - see talk page for details.

Jdforrester and Charles Matthews are listed in the table above. FT2 is currently inactive, thus not listed.

Tranches are shown as best I can read this, corrections are welcome. Tranche Beta is currently being replaced. Tranche Alpha was elected last year. Tranche Gamma will be replaced next year.

* NYB has start=now, recent=120 to reflect his recent return.

Other Listings
These listings will have various different parameters. My own listing (User:Franamax) for example, uses a 120-day recent cutoff due to my pitiful overall history. The day-cutoff is shown in the "Rec Days" column.

Generally, none of these listings will have a "best-before" date, they start counting back from the second they are run.

If you'd like to see your own stellar record dissected for all to see, drop a note on the talk page.
