Mel,

The reason you couldn’t find your name under ENGLAND is because you listed your country as United Kingdom.

You’re not alone as 18,212 members also listed themselves as being from the UK:
http://ezinearticles.com/?type=location&sel=United_Kingdom

Not to worry though… I just updated your account to reflect your country of England:
http://ezinearticles.com/?type=location&sel=England
(You should show up in this list by this same time on Monday.)

There’s a nice pocket of Finlanders who live about 5 hours North of where I live… they have a Finnish Sauna that is awesome after a long day of Snowmobiling in Winter!

Second runner-up in Peru. I have one of the highest number of visits per article in the non-Engish speaking world/ Latin America / Third World(128 articles= 373, 008 views – from 2007 to 2009). In addition to this, I have won several first places – Education & Reference, Volleyball, Politics and Olympics. Finally, I am very proud to be the top author for Olympic category (55 articles).
Greetings.

Chris,

Speaking of “updating” the lists for all the many data bases here.

How often do you update the “Rankings” in the Author’s Section?

How often do you update the “top authors” in the public viewing section?

Do you do this one time per week, every three days, every night at midnight your time?

I have been kind of wondering about that, as it seems their is a tremendous amount of sync’ing between data bases here at EzineArticles.

Sincerely, Lance

I looked for my name under Great Britain which I didn`t see. That then got me thinking about where else it might have been placed. I then took a look under United Kingdom and I`m happy to say I found it there. The entries under the UK were far higher than those under Great Britain, For most of us from this part of the world we would probably say we are from the UK rather than GB, so a suggestion is to have just the one grouping, it isn`t necessary to have both.

Mel Menzies writes:

I was unable to find my listing among the International Authors when I looked under England (which is where I live), or Scotland (which is my nationality).

However, my entry is under United Kingdom. It does seem not only unneccessary to have all these categories, but also unfair to some authors. I, for instance, would come much higher up the list if my entry appeared in either England or Scotland, whereas being listed under UK puts one at a disadvantage. Is this set in concrete?

Geoff,

It’s all very confusing to us years ago when we first encountered this phenomena where people wanted to say they were from a specific area/location but it wasn’t a legally recognized country or it was a sovereign state of many countries (UK for example). Why not just be proud to be from the specific country you are really from? I think we all know the countries that make up the UK (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland & Wales) or GB (Great Britain) and if someone on the planet didn’t know, that’s their problem.

For now, we are going to allow people to say they are from a country that makes sense to them, even if it’s a country of countries.

Lance,
Now that sounds like a challenge to me. Are you up for it? Of course you are!

[Reply]

Lance Winslow writes:

Well, I’ve found that it takes a lot of time studying to write in all the categories. Those categories I know a lot about, it was not all too difficult, but these days with so many knowledgeable authors in so many unique niches, that would be a tough challenge and for me a lot of studying and research too. Indeed, I have noted that someone who is really into sports, and home improvement, and writes lots of book reviews could drastically increase the number of “Number One” category numbers.

And I believe anyone committed to their niche should work very hard to be in the top 10, and that means being dedicated and posting quality articles to that category. Interestingly enough, I’ve found an incredible number of international authors filling up the categories with great articles. I love to read them as they come from a totally different point of view and you can learn so much.

My thinking is that everyone should subscribe by email to as many international authors in their niche to see it from different perspectives. It will make you a better author, and better in your field. That’s what I’ve done, and it is awesome what you can learn.

I would like to see more Peruvian authors – there are only 38 (placed third in South America / South American champ: Argentina; second runner up is Brazil and Peru won the BRONZE MEDAL). I also hope that my work will inspire others Peruvians. Unfortunately Peru has the Latin America’s second worst education system– after Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. More than six million of Peru’s population –children, indigenous and women – does not have access to education.
