[AdamGT]

A warm welcome and congratulations to @PatrickUnson and @IzzyOz who join us on the Top 100 Star Photos leaderboards with two totally different stars. The first, a storefront shot of a Filipino Restaurant taken by Patrick "Ricky" Unson and the second, a night time shot of a garden taken by Izzy.  Given that Izzy is a newbie Local Guide, my guess is that we will see quite a bit of jockeying for pole position between her star candidates and it will be interesting to see which one ends up as being the brightest star. 

[Kumaarsantosh]

Interesting observation to make here with some learning. I @Kumaarsantosh was at number 41 in Top 100 Star Photo Views Leaderboard (June 2023) (Level 9 Local Guides) and am again at number 41 in Level 9 Star Views Leaderboard (July 2023). Not only that the Star Views Count also remain the same 398,132 as depicted in Photo 1. What a coincidence!

Photo 1: Top 100 Star Photo Views Leaderboard (July 2023) (Level 9 Local Guides)

Now that's interesting but then I thought of diving deep to find out how come such miracle happens!😀 

Just for the clarity of discussion my Star Photo Views was 1,001,240 on 30-June-2023 when I last updated all other details on Top100 Local Guides 

So, I logged-in Top100 Local Guides and started further reading. Guess what I learnt!

I was in the opinion that for Star Photo we just need to update the data once and every month the system will import the latest data from Google Map and accordingly this will get flashed to the Leaderboard unless there is a change in the Star Photo itself. But, here I was wrong. The guideline was something different as depicted in Photo 2.

Photo 2: Your Star Photo Guidelines

This caption clearly says that every month we have to update the Star Photo Data. As you can see in Photo 2, I have updated the details on 2023-06-30 but did not update the Views count thinking that system will take care of this 😅, I just updated Star Photo description and Creating your Star Photo description sections only.

So, possibly this could be the reason @AdamGT, why my star photo is missing from the list Star Photos Movers & Shakers Leaderboard( July 2023) which I asked you here. 

Now, to summarize, this is a great self-learning about the updating the data. We need to update the details for Leaderboard every month not only for Maps Contributions Data and Maps Data BUT ALSO FOR STAR PHOTO.

Thought of sharing my experiential learning here so as some of us may get benefitted. 

Thanks @AdamGT for putting these Leaderboards together to bring all of us on the same platform and learn from each other.

Keep building informed community stronger 💪 together.

JAI HO!!! 

[Mikeinthefalls]

@AdamGT  I'm not seeing a photo for @LDiamond that is getting the views shown on this Leaderboard? I think possibly there's an input error, from when the Star Photo album was last updated in February? 36K views a day would be a lot more than 2.7 million after a year. 

[LDiamond]

Thank you Mikeinthefalls!  I will update my information later today.  It's been about a month.  I think I will have to change my star photo as well.  I have 3 that are at or around 3 million per photo

[Mikeinthefalls]

@LDiamond Excellent, it's always nice to have options for your Star ⭐ Congrats on yours 👏🏽

You should check out the Star Tracker feature on the Top 100 VIP - it allows you to track and project multiple photos 🤓

My main reason for commenting was to alert Adam to what looks to be an error in the daily views. I'm not taking anything away from your photo - it's a great view getter. But 36k daily would be just over 1 million per month and I didn't see any on your profile that were getting that type of average. The Leaderboards work best when all the data is correct, just raising the questions if I find them.
