15021, Is it decreased or increased?

3

Increased. We are averaging about 500 a week new articles at this point.

4

Unless things change, the only way the count will go down is if I hit it hard and constantly.

5

What percentage of articles that are in the boosting widget end up being deleted do you think?

6

Good question. I just mark them with NFDs, I seldom work on the Guardian. I will take a WAG at about 20-30%

7

I’d say just do what you can, and do your best. That’s all anyone can do:slight_smile:

8

Exactly. I never encourage anyone to do more than they feel able to. I just have REALLY thick skin/high tolerance…

9

*implying you don’t already*

10

If I did, the count would go down. But jobless, so have less time than I want to spend on it.

11

Hit 16,000 today…sometime, last night.

12

Thanks - I’m boosting through it, slowly and carefully!

13

17,018 today.

14

wikiHow is getting ABOUT 71 new articles a day. No way of telling how many good ones there are in that number.

15

Holy crap @Ttrimm That is so many. I really think that we should be able to go through them and instantly delete articles.

16

18,000 sometime in the next 24 hours, I imagine. at 17,954 right now.

17

@Ttrimm You do such an amazing job boosting! 18000 is pretty scary!

18

Wow. I think my forum post knocked the number down. Now it will be a couple of days until we get there.

19

Okay, so @Ttrimm said there are approximately 71 new articles a day. I went to the booster list and recognized about 16 names (I’m assuming names I recognize are the active ones, which is why I’m only counting them.) This amounts to 4.4 articles per booster per day to keep the same number in the queue, or that if each booster boosts 5 (FIVE five!) articles per day we could actually ‘‘reduce’’ that queue. Can I challenge all boosters to boost 4 a day?

Holy cow!!! Neat math stats!
