Reconciliation & coverage

One person earns one credit for each distinct work, even when it appears in several sections or newsletter editions. Explicit source authors, hosts and contributor credits qualify. Organisations, incidental mentions, unconfirmed identities and template material do not.

Date ranges use Europe/London calendar days and original work dates. Year to date starts on 1 January; 30 and 90 day views stay within the selected year. Lifetime includes older work and work without an exact date. 210 undated credits are excluded from recent windows. Editing or rechecking a source does not restart its date.

Source rankings use uncapped contribution points under the current rules. They do not use member pillar weights or award member levels. Equal points share a rank. A name search preserves positions; section filters recalculate them. Podcast hosting is credited once per show, without multiplying it by every imported episode.

Connect your account to your contributor profile through identity verification. Verified owners in the lifetime Top 100 with contribution points can endorse. Credits do not grant moderation access. The 2025 archive retains its original weekly mention figures.
