Comments on the Progress

This page is coming together quite nicely - I like what DMurphy has created thus far - I think the "No Loafing Pie Chart" was a great choice - it adds a perfect amount of humor to this page. The descriptions of the interpretations of the data are thorough and that's grood, er..good for anyone interested in the interesting field of statistics. I just hope the average fans of Strong Bad Emails will be as enthusastic about the statistical information as those who have a subscription to Nerdular Nerdence! Nevertheless, I think everyone (ability in mathematics notwithstanding) can learn something from the data charts. I hope to see/make a pie chart soon! --The Paper 01:49, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

...Yep, I have no clue what you all are saying. --Color Printer 06:42, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

Database

Anyone wishing to help with this project that doesn't want to undertake the tedious task of data entry can request a database from The Paper or me. The database is a very user-friendly excel file which has data on Time, Location, Name, and various other categories for each of the 126 emails. Just e-mail me and I'll be happy to send you a copy of the file. --DMurphy 15:45, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

Wow!

DMurphy and The Paper- you guys did a great job on this! It really makes this wiki look smart. This rocks! →FireBird 23:58, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

This page is awesome and beautiful and beautifully awesome. Aurora Szalinski 11:56, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

My god...

You guys have WAY too much time on your hands.

Yep, they do. --Color Printer 10:56, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

Not really... any statistics major could put this together in 30 minutes or less. The hard part is data collection, which was already done before I got the idea to start this page. I know it looks like this would take days of work, but Excel makes the project easy to complete. Anyway, it's spring break for me, and I didn't have anything planned for the night I started this, so I decided to make a new page. --DMurphy 16:23, 29 Mar 2005 (MST)

bottom 10

Why do you say bottom 10 has 2 emails? The second one was just Fwd:'s and Re:'s.

Nominated for featured article

This article has been nominated for article of the week and I for one would like to see that happen — it's a really great article. One thing that needs to happen first, though, is it needs a good opening summary paragraph. I might try my hand at writing one, but it would probably sound better coming from someone who really understands all this statistical stuff. Maybe summarize why these charts where created and what we can learn from studying the emails this way. — wikisig.gif Joey (talk·edits) 04:48, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)
