| Mar 25, 2019 at 13:21 | comment | added | April Salutes Monica C. | Thanks Cyn! I know last Friday I added one that I should have put here, but I was too busy at work. I guess I forgot about a few others. | |

| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:37 | comment | added | Cyn | Our question count went way up. Up a lot more than the reported questions here. So people may have been mindful of the contest, even if they didn't choose to enter. Or they may have just seen more activity and decided to add to it. Some of the questions were .... umm, let's say subpar but I'm not sure there were proportionately more of those than usual. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:24 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Cyn thanks; I'd missed your earlier comment where you checked all the new questions. Thanks for all the help! I'm sorry some people with qualifying questions didn't participate, but I saw a lot of "hey, we've got this contest" comments along the way and the post was featured all month, so I don't think it's up to us to also hunt them down. Some people just aren't into contests, after all. I really appreciate all the help! | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:21 | comment | added | Cyn | I checked everyone. Those two were the only underreported folks. (It is possible I missed one, but I did check.) BUT there were several people who had questions they did not enter because they didn't have any qualifying tags. It wouldn't be hard in almost all cases to add in legit and useful tags for each of them in the 10-200 question range (since there are so many), but I figured that wasn't my job at this point. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:17 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Cyn if you're still here, could you check if imatowrite is under-reported? Looks like there are a few more in this timeframe but I haven't checked tags and scores. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:15 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Cyn thanks! I just noticed and added Prasad's but hadn't seen April's yet. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:07 | comment | added | Cyn | Checking people's self-counts in the question list. They are all fine except as discussed above. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:04 | comment | added | Cyn | @Prasad_Joshi listed 2 questions in the contest but also had 2 qualifying ones not in the list: writing.stackexchange.com/questions/43698/… and writing.stackexchange.com/questions/43691/… | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:03 | comment | added | Cyn | @April listed 3 questions in the contest but also had 3 qualifying ones not in the list: writing.stackexchange.com/questions/43927/… and writing.stackexchange.com/questions/43426/… and writing.stackexchange.com/questions/42664/… | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 1:01 | comment | added | Cyn | I just went through them all. 327 questions!! I did not open any questions, only looked at the question list. I also found the disqualified question (no downvotes or upvotes so this was not a case of it qualifying then losing it). While some people reported all their tags even if they didn't qualify, every question on the contest list did have at least 1 qualifying tag. I did not bother to write down questions that would have qualified for the contest if only the authors chose to enter. BUT I did find two authors who did enter the contest but left out questions I'll put them down below. | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 0:39 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Cyn I was checking tags as they came in, but you're right -- I didn't check scores. (Update: have checked; disqualified one entry after checking its vote history.) | |
| Mar 25, 2019 at 0:02 | comment | added | Cyn | Not just closures! Some of the questions listed may not have 1+ points. While it may be hard to judge the timing of that, in most cases it's pretty clear. Also to check if there is at least one tag with the right number of questions on it (with allowances for changes over time...like anything that went over 200 during the contest still counts). | |
| Mar 24, 2019 at 2:05 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @bruglesco thank you! I just checked the rest (also no closures). | |
| Mar 24, 2019 at 0:58 | comment | added | Summer | I checked all of the questions that are below me on the entry list, with no closures. | |

| Mar 22, 2019 at 18:19 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | @Galastel we'll resolve ties in the direction of being more generous, don't worry. | |
| Mar 22, 2019 at 18:10 | comment | added | Galastel supports GoFundMonica | What happens in the case of ties? For example, at the moment Cyn, Liquid and I are all tied for 2nd place. If it were two of us, it would have been fine. But there's 3 of us, and bruglesco in 1st. | |

| Feb 28, 2019 at 15:41 | comment | added | Liquid | We're really pumping up the question-per-day score on Area-51. Hopefully we will be able to push it to promotion-status. | |
| Feb 28, 2019 at 15:22 | comment | added | Cyn | @linksassin agreed. Some really great questions too. I was afraid the contest might increase the amount of questions for questions' sake but, in general, that hasn't happened. I'm finding too that 1) I'm getting much better at asking questions and 2) even though I've put up legit questions, they weren't things I was necessarily needing input on, but it turns out the input has been really useful and I'm incorporating some of it into my book. Win-win all around! | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 22:41 | comment | added | linksassin Mod | This contest seems to be working. Our questions per day has been trending upward since it started. | |
| Feb 27, 2019 at 17:06 | comment | added | Cyn | Small cheat: One of my tags on my most recent question has 10 questions asked because mine was the 10th. But there are other qualifying tags. Full disclosure :-D | |

| Feb 21, 2019 at 14:43 | comment | added | Monica Cellio Mod | I got a question about this, so in case anybody else is also wondering: the question needs to be open at the end of the contest; it doesn't have to stay continuously open. If you ask a question, it gets put on hold, you fix it, and it gets reopened, that's fine. The goal is good questions for the site, which might involve some bumps along the way. We're not going to penalize people for a question not being perfect in the first version. | |
