Hi all,
A short update about the Guinness World Record. Thanks to Erik Zachte, we
have been able to produce a list of all submitted files, following the
narrower criteria of Guinness World Records. For the record: for all other
purposes we use the lists as unfiltered as possible, focusing on the
intention of the uploaders (i.e. statistics).
I have filtered this list on the exact upload date & time (with the
exception of uploads on Flickr that have been uploaded afterwards in
Panama) and removed Belgium & Luxembourg from the set (as those countries
did not submit nominees to the international jury). I only have to filter
Italy a bit more strictly to ensure we only catch the valid submissions,
but once that is done I will be able to put the real application process in
motion.
So hopefully more news soon! Right now, it looks like the official number
of valid submissions will end up between 355.000 and 360.000 .
Best,
Lodewijk
