The top ones will be on the leaderboard, but if you want to know about someone not on the leaderboard, you have to go to their contributions page and count them yourself.
Analytical geometry was founded by the French mathematician, Renee Descartes. As for subsequent contributors to that subject, I will leave that for other contributors to add.
Other than congratulations from your fellow WikiAnswers contributors, there is no special award.Your username, however, will appear on the monthly leaderboard, via this link:Special:TopsIn addition, on your profile page, in the Stats box, there is a number within an orange circle (to the right of your various types of contributions). This shows that you are in the top 100 contributors that month for that type of action! If you click on the little badge, you can see the full leaderboard.
The recommended figure is not a percentage. And no, there is nothing to indicate 'comparison' with other contributors in the figure. It is a guide to how useful other users have found the contributions that the user has made. It can be misleading.
Although I have no way to know what all the contributors to this site are actually thinking, it would seem pointless to envy another contributor for having more contributions. We all have the opportunity to answer as many questions as we like, or make whatever contributions we wish to make. You might possibly envy the superior knowledge of some very well informed contributor, but you still would be unlikely to envy the quantity of their contributions. And even then, we all have the opportunity to become better informed, if that is what we wish.
Probably because not enough WikiAnswers contributors have read your contributions or have considered giving you or others a trust point. I suspect that Supervisors are more likely to attract trust points than other contributors because of the improvements they make to the contributions of others which are likely to then attract a response from the original contributor.
The related link below should take you to a page where you can find the overall contributor of the month, the top contributors of separate categories, and archives of top contributors from other months.
Other registered contributors who like your contributions and think they are helpful. You are unable to find out who gives you the Trust Points, unless they message you to say so.
Profile LinksProfiles are linked from WikiAnswers contributors' usernames wherever they appear. For example, my profile is linked from the top of this page, since I was the last person to edit the answer. My username and your username are both linked from the question history. Our usernames were also linked from the Recent Changes page when we asked and answered this, and from other WikiAnswers contributors' Watchlists.To browse the profiles of the most active WikiAnswers contributors, see this page: Special:TopFarmers
There are a few reasons for this. The first reason is that their contributions were outstanding to others, and many people who saw this contributor gave them a trust point for their excellent contributions. The other reason is that this person had all of their friends make an account and give them a trust point.
Yes - even minor edits all add up to your overall contributions total. They don't add to your trust points total though. Only other contributors can do that - if they find your work worthy of recognition.
Not sure that there were many contributions ofengineering to mathematics. Contributions in the other direction: lots, contributions by engineers: yes.
No. TIP Members do not have any supervisor tools or any authority over other contributors. Impersonating a supervisor is a violation of the Terms of Use.
