If we added a page similar to this - http://www.barb.co.uk/resources/reference-documents/guide-to-sampling-error?_s=4 - and linked to it at the bottom of every chart on VGChartz then would that help to make things clearer?


I think thats a good idea. It would hopefully start to stop the same things being brought up every other Week, but then youd actually need people to click on it. Maybe have it at the top of the page next to/ above/ below the "Global Weekly Chart".

I still think the quotes I posted here are great and go a long way to explaining VGChartz numbers. Something similar to them to go along with another methodology page like the barb one I feel would go a long way towards stopping the cries of adjustments and people taking the numbers here as facts, creating scenes like were seeing in this thread.

Honestly, I think a lot of the complaining from users who are actually here is simply down to a mix of taking the site too seriously and ignorance regarding the numbers themselves.


Yeah I learned not to take this site seriously after a few months of seeing how off the numbers were. I used to wonder why people would say "Lol Vgchartz" I guess now I know why.
