Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] first day to total uploads ratio

One way would be to look at last year's first day total uploads and compare it to last years total uploads for the month (~169,000 overall). So if the ratio was 1:50, I'd just multiply the 1st day uploads in the US by 50. Yesterday (1st 24 hours) we had 615 uploads so if 50 is the right multiplier, we'd estimate about 31,000. Some might say 30 is the right multiplier (30 days in a month), but 37 would estimate that the last week gets twice as many uploads. Does anybody have a real number from last year? It's fairly important to estimate the total uploads so that we can mobilize the right number of people for tasks such as reviewing the pix, placing them in the lists, and pre-jury screening. So far I've been using the standard scientific method of pulling a number out of my wazoo ("US is almost as big as Europe ==> 100,000") Any help appreciated.
