So is/was this one of the biggest actions on this forum? The numbers are pretty crazy, especially all the merit flying around.

In terms of monthly awarded sMerits, the contest has made November come second in the rank of most merited months (see https://public.tableau.com/shared/WDX9QGR53?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link).

As a thread, it is the second most merited thread, only behind Wall Observer (see Top Merited Thread Ranking here: https://public.tableau.com/shared/RPZZ2S38F?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link – ignore the error thread – it corresponds to a compendium of deleted or non-retrievable posts).

As a single event, I figure it is the most merited indeed. Looks like we need a break every now and then from text, and relax with something more visual from time to time.

That's exactly what some of us are all about!

As a post-mortem mini-analysis to the 10th Anniversary Art Contest, I’ve updated the Google doc I published last week, with the information derived from yesterday's merit file:

22.036 merits awarded to the art thread.
1106 merited posts.
552 meriters (senders).
675 merited (receivers).

The complete relation can be seen here:

Very nice breakdown! That must have been one of the liveliest topics in a long time!

It’s as @LoyceV indicated. The stats I created are based on a file that the forum makes available every Friday morning, at around 2 UTC (specifically, the latest was 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC). That file, https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz, contains all sMerit TX over the last 120 days (although I, amongst a few others, keep a full history by accumulating these files). Your submission was posterior to the Friday cut-off, and thus is not included this week (it will next week).

Regardless, @theymos surely used his own queries, straight against the database, so there is no need to worry, as he has real-time access to all the information and is fluent at creating his own inners stats.

I published some stats on the thread, base don yesterdays merit.txt file (the results are therefore not real time, and lack merits awarded later than 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC).Up until that moment, we had:

16594 merits awarded to the art thread.
906 merited posts.
465 meriters.
585 merited.

The complete relation can be seen here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qq_i3fpEECkVPoxfioSGTIl9U5eia8R3NqenNvRYzLo/edit#gid=0

As a curiosity:
- Two people have been merited on 11 posts each (@sirazimuth: 242 merits and sujonali1819: 165 merits).

- The thread merited by most people is @theymos’s OP (344 merits and 95 contributors), followed by Yatsan's (229 merits and 59 contributors).

- The largest meriter is (obviously) @theymos, who has merited 542 profiles in 698 posts (7794 merits), followed by @Halab (198 merited profiles – 239 posts - 356 merits).

From what i can see, theymos merited 3 of your submissions, with combined total of 62 merit. And as you probably noticed, each subsequent submission received less merit (1st one got 35, 2nd one got 17 and 3rd one got 10) so I guess that's why your last one didn't receive anything from him. He mentioned earlier about diminishing return, and here is another quote from him where he explains how he merits multiple submissions.

Quote from: theymos on November 22, 2019, 12:54:12 PM

For anyone doing analysis: When someone makes multiple submissions, I consider the merit I've already given them when deciding how much merit to give later submissions. So if someone posts two submissions to which I'd normally give 50 merit, the second one will get less..

Ok, I got it.

Quote from: FIFA worldcup on November 24, 2019, 03:09:58 AM

Theymos has given a lot of merits to all of the submission and now there is no reason for anyone to complain or suggest if the merits are given less or more. You should be thankful to him that you got 50 Merits from him on your artwork.

Yes, I thank him. But that isn't the point of my question, I've no problem with merit at all. Although Theymos will do other things besides giving merit to mark the artworks that he has reviewed (as far as I'm concerned) and those marks can be seen publicly, of course I'll still ask this. Once again, I don't intend to complain because it doesn't get merit, I just hope that all artworks are reviewed and none will be missed. That's all, thanks.

I won't say that all of my artworks should get merit from Theymos, but I (and maybe others) worry that I'll lose that judgment from one of them. I think it affects the number of points gained.

I remember very well that my artwork was posted (Nov., 21th) in the first place on page 69 (post number #1361) and currently on page 68 (#1358). Theymos sent his last merit (according to my computer's date) on that date in this post, 2 posts after mine or maybe more if another post was deleted, and he sent the merit back 10 hours the next day. And as far as I'm concerned, Theymos will mark the artwok that was posted by giving merit (although only 1 sMerit which he thinks is worthy of nomination).

You are mad because you received ''only 100 merits''?

Merit has sent purely base on the effort, some received small merit since its more on digital editing and some users didn’t appreciate that kind of work because it can easily done. Some users made a lot of entries, yet they received small merit and lucky to those guys who get huge support because they put a lot of effort on their artwork and that is their advantage. Be thankful for what you got, its a free merit for all of us so again Happy 10th Anniversary guys!

For purely objective and impersonal reasons, I feel it makes more sense to rank meriters by how many merits they awarded, rather than how many users they merited. Tongue

Somehow I thought I didn't Merit many art-contributions, so I'm surprised I made it into (last spot of) the Top 10.
Especially in the last week I didn't have the time to thoroughly check all (many!) new contributions, especially the ones from Newbies that required opening an external site.

I have a question, I posted my completed submission the AM of the 22nd. I don't think many people have even seen it yet to merit it, I myself got to about page 30 so far and my submission is on 78, so I am just wondering is there an official cut off time for the calculation of total merits for the art contest? Thank you!

No, there is no cut-off time for merit calculation. Merits will taken into consideration most probably up to the point when theymos declares BTC winners and announces how he wanna go for badge winners.

Also edited to add that I have sent / will send all the merit I have received back to art contest submissions, I ran out around page 32. I appreciate being a part of what has turned out to be a pretty epic contest!

You seem to be looking at the wrong Tab. The "Meriters" tab indicates those you've merited. As of yesterday early morning, you had merited 8 different profiles, on 8 different posts, aggregating 36 sent sMerits.

Your posted history displays 10 entries: The one sent today is not accounted for (it's not in the merit.txt file for this week). The double entry sent to the same post (@LoyceV) is counted as one (single recipient; single post).

Where did the post go? (no need to delete it - it was a valid question).

I've added a tab to the Excel (called "Potentially ranked-up (thanks to Art thread)") to try to determine potential members ranked-up thanks to the Art Contest (to some extent, or significantly). I contrasted a snapshot of data from before the Art contest began, to that of yesterday, and marked in green those that I think may have been ranked-up thanks to the Art merits.

Unfortunately, my complete comparison data is for those that have been merited, so I do lack some data for those that had not been merited at the beginning of the contest (those show up on the tab with the nulls).

It’s pretty cumbersome to manually derive each case, so I’ve only done it for those that received above 20 merits in the Art contest. Since I had to manually whip through them, there may be a few mistakes, but, roughly, of the top 80 merited profiles, 48 seem to have received a significant amount of contribution to their new shinny rank through Art (others are still pending activity). Not bad.
