Active users at Citizendium

This is the ongoing analysis of '''[[Citizendium]]'s active (and not-so-active) editors'''.  The table here, which breaks down an editor's contributions into specific months, calculates an average edit rate, and determines how "active" an editor is using real numbers (mostly integers).

Statistics are valid up to last month.

== Ratings ==

[[File:Cz-forum.png|thumb|monthly edits at <code>en.citizendium.org</code> and <code>forum.citizendium.org</code>]]These numbers are a rough guide to how these labels are applied. Contributions during the most recent three months have been selected as one of the criteria for assigning an "activity level": until now, &asymp; <span updater="Diebot" tag="AllEditors" title="all registered editors">3,300</span> men and women were able to create an account at Citizendium and became authors and editors. <span updater="Diebot" tag="ActiveEditors" title="active editors over the last three month>45</span>  of these made a comment at <code>en.citizendium.org</code>  over the last three months, so activity on the various filial sites (<code>forum.citizendium.org</code>, <code>blog.citizendium.org</code>) is not taken into account. 

But this isn't much of a problem: though some of the forum's discussions may seem vivid as they are vicious, the number of editors involved and comments made is comparatively small. (The data for <code>forum.citizendium.org</code> was taken from the forum's own nice page on its [http://forum.citizendium.org/index.php?action=stats stats]).

The ''busiest'' 
50
 38 of these editors can be found in the following table.

==User chart==
*Averages are calculated from the time of the first edit to the last edit. The '''recent average''' is the average of the last three months and editors must have made a minimum of 100 edits.

*A blank, rather than a 0, denotes the time before a user registered with Citizendium.
*The little [[Image:sort_none.gif]] buttons allow you to sort the table by any column! One click for ascending, a second click for descending.
*Normal font indicates those who a called ''authors'' in citizendium-speak: editors without any membership in another group. All others (''dark knights'', ''wikieditors'', etc.) are '''bold faced'''. Bots are shown in ''italics''. Currently blocked editors are 
struck out

== Active editors statistics at Citizendium ==

[[File:Api-active-editors-compl-Citizendium.png|thumb|right|Active users]]
Citizendium's own [[cz:Special:Statistics|page statistics]] includes an entry on '''active users'''. The numbers aren't very impressive, but Citizendium was at least able to overtake Conservapedia in Nov 2010.
