Here's a little web toy based on the rectangles that you have all been drawing on journal pages.
Select a random drawing from the completed Science Gossip journals: http://explore.sciencegossip.org/random/ (refresh the page to get a new picture)

This is great Jim - its help me see if there is consistency across the application of the classification types
thanks!

Some results I got were a bit strange.. like the image crops focused out of the illustration.. (I made even screenshots) I wonder why that happens.

This is brilliant! My favourite key word so far:
dude with a hat contemplates life while sitting on a fallen stump near the cavity of a massive tree (ASC0000gj6) Milkman link.

@yshish do you happen to know which pages had strange crops? I've added a link to the results for each page, so that you can see where the original rectangles were drawn.

Yes, it was this page..

The strangely cropped images were displayed under two Keyword headlines. Would you like to see the screenshot too? (Still having it opened in a browser tab.)

Here's the same page on Milkman: http://explore.sciencegossip.org/subjects/ASC0000ams
Looks like people were confused about what to mark as an illustration.Jim

Hm, let's hope it doesn't happen much often.. I have just restarted the Tutorial to see what the instructions are there and whether they are clear. There is not such a complicated illustration included but the text should be clear (at least to all English speaking volunteers. I remember having problems to understand it when I started since I didn't know some of the words used there - like what on the page is exactly meant by them 0:| But now they are perfectly clear to me).

@eatyourgreens May I ask about the Illu Milkman page? I have tried to display the pages of my recent classifications there, it says: Activated 8 months ago. I wonder how often you activate it and what it depends on. Are there all the pages or only those which have been classified by at least X volunteer already? Why there are even the active ones which still needs more classifications to get retired?
Thanks! 😃

Hi @yshish
http://explore.sciencegossip.org runs off a daily copy of the classifications database, so it's up to 24 hours behind the live site. Every classification subject is in there, because it's a copy of the entire database. The code itself is more or less taken from the original Milkman code for the Milky Way Project http://explore.milkywayproject.org/
'Activated at' usually shows when a subject was first uploaded. 8 months ago sounds like about the time that we launched Science Gossip, so I'd guess that's one of the pages from the very first set of journals that were uploaded (either Hardwicke's Science Gossip or the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society.)

Just a note to say I've updated this to included completed pages from Hardwicke's Science Gossip, Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society and the other active journals.
