Ratings can best be found on Yahoo!Movies and on IMDB. Yahoo!Movies fans really liked the movie more than IMDB users. If there was a large amount of wank about the movie being awful, it never hit the radar of the people contributing to our Twilight article.
Looking for info on Nicole P? And why she's been getting votes in that contest? That's because we've been heavily plugging it in several places, including Fan History's main page. Go vote please. We would really love for her to be able to go so she could report on music fandom for Fan History. :D
How many members are there in the Star Trek fandom? I can't really answer that easily. There are at least 5,500 fans on LiveJournal. We can guess that there are over 3,000 on FanFiction.Net for Star Trek in its various forms. We know there are at least 45 on InsaneJournal. We also know there at least 43 on JournalFen. There are probably other places to get numbers but those are the ones we have on the wiki.
What is the most obscure fandom ever? That's almost impossible to answer. There are a huge number of small fandoms with very few fan communities. Some of them could be really old, with very little that got translated online. A good example probably includes Road to Morocco. You also can have local sports team for sports that don't have big international audiences. An example of that includes the Storhamar Dragons based out of Norway. Most people probably haven't heard of them. So in this case, we really need the term obscure better defined.
I don't have a clue. It might appear in our Stargate article, but skimming it? I'm not seeing an answer. Some one please educate me!
I've got nothing. If you can put images in your profile or community, I highly suggest getting a paid account and using LJToys. I just don't know orkut well enough to provide better information.
A history of fanart can be found on Fan History's fanart article. It really needs more work, and only generally touches on anime so the anime article might be a better source.
We talked about this a lot in this blog entry about generating positive metrics. Wanking can help provide short term traffic spikes but don't provide long term traffic stability unless you can do that again and again and again on a consistent basis. Depending on your content? That may not be desirable.
