139 of 1723 pages carry a number, up from 139 last run. Nobody starts with one. We score a page once three independent sources back it up.

Places gained and lost

Place counted among the 139 pages carrying a number, best first. A page with no number is not last, it is unplaced.

The method is published and it changes. Both runs above used v1.2, so what moved here is the people and the sources, not the measure.Read what we measure

Still going?

Who went quiet, and who came back

A show is quiet once it has published nothing for 90 days. We check that every week, which nobody else does, and we say it out loud whichever way it goes.
