I can't add... Posted by dwimmer\_laik September 06, 2005 - 10:28:54 Topic ID# 5317
Help! Mathematical succour required by the one who cannot add worth beans!

This morning, I was pleased to see 3,285 Final Reviews available to be
read, according to the "Read Reviews" screen.

When I went to my own page, via "Read Reviews by Reviewer" in order to
work on a tentative review a bit, I saw "There have been 5178 Final
Reviews written for the 2005 MEFAwards."

I thought at first that the difference must be coming from the Final
Author reviews, but even I know that 25 reviews per page x 12 pages
is... uh, less than 2,000. By a more than fair number, even. And even
if I were wrong about that, the "Read Author reviews" screen says
there are 280 final author reviews.

What gives? What's pushing the final review count up like that? Do we
really have 2,000 non-finalized reviews being counted under "Final
Reviews" on the "Read Reviews by Reviewer" pages?

Thank you,

Dwim, the mathematically incompetent

My screen tells me that there are now 3,286. ;)

Being the curious cat that I am, I had to check this out for myself. It's telling me that there are 5211 reviews out there when I have it set on myself as a reviewer but if I go to "All Reviewers" or anyone else, it goes back to telling me that there are 3286 final reviews. So best guess says that you're right. When it's set on me under "Read Reviews by Reviewer," then I see not only my final reviews but also draft and tentative reviews. My guess is that since it doesn't just display final reviews for my default, it's also tallying more than just the final reviews for everybody else.

I haven't seen the code for myself, though, so that's just a guess based on the little I do know of programming. But even so, it's fun to go in and look at over 5000 reviews.
