Objective: The objective of this is to gather all the information available to show data of all of the graded media that has come through the website. I will be taking a look at the Thread name, user who posted the article, the replies, the date, and the word count(roughly) of every graded article.

Why: because it was cool to do and I could do it easily

What could be wrong: When dealing with the word count, it gets tricky because what is a “word”. The way I counted up the words, is simply if there is a space between 2 things, its a word. And the secondary concern is dealing with the signatures at the end of people’s articles, and deleting them. With the signatures, I was able to not capture almost everything that in a signature, minus a couple words here and there.

The other big suspect thing about word count, is 2 more problems that I could not fix because of the context. The first big thing is that if people split their article into more than 1 post in the thread, it would not capture that. So that would decrease their overall word count. The 2nd problem is that if people collaborate on a media article and then post it, only the user that created it will receive all the credit for that word count. Like when Argar did the top 100 skaters in the SHL, or anything that the SHN has created. But, it is probably impossible to even determine who wrote what, and the time it would take even if it was possible would be pointless. The only other way I can think of to accurately determine the word count/ contributions to every single media article would be the graders payouts, but scraping that constantly I just dont want to even attempt.

So with those big warnings out of the way let's go into it

We all want to know the 2 things. Who wrote the most media, and who wrote the most words.

Ok cool. Now let's take a look at the site as a whole, year by year at the amount of articles written and such. Because obviously if you have been here for a couple years you can tell that the number of articles has decreased

[Image: image.png]

Covid was great for writing wasn't it? But in reality, the amount of media has decreased over the years, and if it wasn't for COVID it would see a trend downwards. But, the average words per article has remained pretty consistent since 2015, besides for last season.

In total the SHL has written 29,258 graded articles, as well as 29,838,696 million words in that time. With an average 1020 words per article over that time.

For right now, that's all I have for now. Later I want to explore double media over time. But for now thats it

If you want to take a look yourself. Or do any articles based off of it. There is the google sheets. Thanks for reading
