"Latest activity link" replaced with the official "Edit count link"
In my archived comment from December 2010, I mentioned some potential alternatives to the "Latest activity link". As you can read in my previous comment, I was a bit concerned, that the "Latest activity link" to show each members number of edits within the past 30 days, was a feature we very seldom would use. The problem is, that it does not reveal the activity in the past few days, and hence most of us would anyway prefer, instead just to click at the "contributions link" to check for "latest activity". After giving it a second thought today, I arrived at the same conclusions as back in December 2010. Therefore I decided this afternoon, to remove the "Latest activity link" in order to free up some space for the member list. And as a new perhaps more interesting feature, I instead added the official "Edit count link" (http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/ec) presented by the User2 template:. The new "Edit count link" will, beside of showing each members total number of edits and distribution within various "edit types", also show a "monthly edit count" and "top10 of most edited articles/pages" for the members who choose to opt in. So for those who are curious to check, it provide some extra fun statistical info.
 * You are of course all welcome now to post your opinion, if you consider this new change of the member list to be good/bad. The change to the list is so far only my personal proposal. I hope you all like the change, but if not, I am of course ready to revert it again, after a few days of trial. Danish Expert (talk) 20:38, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Activity check for WPF members
This is just to bump a short notice, that a complete activity check now has been performed for the WPF member list, as of July 10. The check showed, that no less than 52 of the current WPF members were also found to be inactive, with 0 football related edits within the past 12 months; and thus automatically were removed to the "Former member list". When the Activity check was performed last year at December 20, then we found 300 inactive members, although it should be noted, that this high number was due to no activity check being performed previously for 3 years. If we calculate the rate of how fast the member list transform "Active members" into "Former members", the average has remained very constant at around 8 users per month, during the past 4 years. With 7 months passing since the latest activity check in December 2010, it was therefore no surprise to find, that the "Former member list" today now includes 52 more user names (to form an impressive total of 390). During the same 7 months, the "Active member list" however also welcomed 47 new WPF members, meaning that we today have a total of:
 * 308 Active WPF members (declining slightly from the 313 Active members registered at 20th December 2010).

For those of you who are curious about the statistical numbers, I can also reveal, that among the 308 Active members, we had a total of 53 failing to post any football related edits during the past 6 months. The majority of them appear to posses a "seasonal edit pattern", making it likely they at some point of time during the next 6 months, will resume their football related edits. If they fail to do so for the remaining part of 2011, they will of course be automatically removed to the "Former member list", when some of us perform the next activity check.
