What’s a good % on nominations reviewed

I currently have
1878 total
1364 approved
28 rejected
33 duplicate
Which is about 75.7%

Welcome!

Are these the numbers of reviews you have done? Or the number of agreements earned?

In both cases, 1364 approvals seems rather high when compared to only 28 rejections.


It’s this thing. I just want a general percentage to aim for

Hello and welcome @thehounds21
It’s an interesting question that you have asked.
And there is no set answer as everyone will see a different stream of nominations and will use skips in different ways.

rReflecting on those numbers do you feel that the number of nominations you have reviewed were poor and worthy of rejection is about right?
I am based in the UK and I would expect to come across far more instances of nominations where I would be voting to reject because they just don’t meet criteria. Perhaps you are fortunate and lve somewhere where that isn’t the case.
Are you asking because you are curious about your own numbers?

I was more just curious if my agreement percentage was good. I think I started off pretty low. I just review between sets at the gym

I personally don’t concern myself with targets.
And in many respects the total percentage of when you agreed is not that vital. There is always a delay as it takes time after you have voted for the nomination to reach a conclusion and it to clock up as an agreement.
What is often more indicative of a persons voting behaviour is the balance between voting to accept or reject.
Your number of agreed rejects seems very low..
is it rare for you to find nominations that don’t meet criteria?

I mainly get churches, trail markers, art work and sports fields/courts. But until recently I was using the skip button as a reject button

Ah so you were basically recording votes for good candidates and not recording ( or at least rarely recording) ones that would be rejectable.
I take it you know understand that a skip does not serve as a substitute for reject.
Are you aware of the advice that to ensure something is being recorded as a vote towards rejection you need to :-1: on one of the first 4 questions

Yea I figured it out. I also realized that the idk button works pretty well when I’m confused :joy:

Skip button is not reject. By doing this, you are pushing more rejection agreement to other person (you still have right to skip)

I am just saying that the number is not something to be fixated. Some people might have more rejection agreement if they have more time to throughly review nomination, some other only review easier nomination and skip the rest. Both are fine. It all depends on you yourself as reviewer.

At the end of day, you should review based on criteria and not guessing whether general public accept it or no.

@thehounds21

For comparison, my stats, having stayed in the top bracket almost constantly prior to the recent changes (I only dropped when Pokemon Go players started reviewing).

Total Nominations Reviewed: 17123
Agreements: Accepted: 3375
Agreements: Rejected: 5408
Agreements: Duplicated: 554

Only around 50% agreements and I suspect I am harsher than most reviewers, but I’m not going to change my reviewing habits just to get more agreements.

I skip things where I cannot be confident enough about them, but don’t feel the need to reject (e.g., things without streetview that might be there).
