User talk:Ybbor/Watchlist Survey

• I'm gonna guess average watchlist size of 500, and for formula, pretty close to ${\displaystyle f(x)={\tfrac {x}{10}}}$. --Ybbor^T SURVEY! 21:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ybbor. Just a thought - you may want to separate the new users for separate analysis, as I suspect their numbers change more randomly than established users. Xiner (talk) 01:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's becoming pretty clear that there isn't really much of an average trend. Watchlist size varies a lot based on whatever area(s) you edit in most, how much vanispamcruftisement you're interested in dealing with when you check it, whether you automatically watch pages that you edit/move/delete, and whether you ever clean up your watchlist (to remove redirects, user talks, etc). However, I do find it interesting that of all the respondents, only seven have unmodified signatures... Picaroon 23:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well even if we detertmine that there's no general trend, it would still be worthwhile. --Ybbor^TalkSurvey! 00:16, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page is on my watchlist as well. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 01:13, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I had it watched to see whether anyone has a higher watch:editcount ratio than me. It has since dropped to 1643/5017, but still appears to be an outlier. –Pomte 01:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's also interesting to note, that when I filled out this survey, my watchlist was at 14 and now it's at 38. --Mr.crabby (Talk) 00:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
