Amending Timelines on someone else's behalf?

[mr and mrs 187]

so, i've been trying to use the 'timeline statistics' pages to keep track of approvals for people with timelines similar to mine. (my husband is ROC and we filed in july 2011.) it's a GREAT tool (as long as people update their timelines (some do, some dont. oh well.) but what i am having trouble with, and this is totally just a detail, is the fact that there is one couple that has strange dates. future dates to be exact. it may be throwing off the numbers (though i think not wildly). ex. VSC average # of days to NOA1 is -22.

my question is: can some all-powerful moderator amend/delete the future dates so they don't mess up the stats. if you look at this, you can see that will--i--am & willing are the couple i am talking about. i may not be the first person to bring this up, but i'm wondering if there is a fix or if i just have to get over it!

thanks for reading! : )

Get in touch with the moderators directly and then they may be able to kindly ask the people to adjust their dates.

hmm. i messaged a mod (krikit) but have not had a response. anyone else have a comment on this?

Only Capt. Ewok can make database changes.

Have you sent a message to the member you are concerned about? That seems a logical first step. Perhaps it's a data entry error.

alrighty. time to email the member.

thanks for the responses!

[mr and mrs 187]

not feeling like the member will respond. though maybe s/he would get an email when a message is sent on VJ.

i've also noticed that this is a more pervasive problem than i thought.

when i look at i-751 timelines and sort by date filed, it seems like some people may enter in the FUTURE date of filing (maybe as a reminder). the above is just the first 10 results.

so there's that, in addition to typos.

oh, the minutiae of VJ statistics! just keeping myself busy during our wait.

I PM to Captain Ewok. Let's hope we can get better stats!

thanks!

it would be nice if dates in the future were not able to be entered. that might help.

no response from the higher-ups?

Has there been any effort to delete timelines of defunct users? Many of the timelines do not have clickable links for the names. Does that mean those accounts have been deleted and shouldn't those timelines be removed if they are incomplete?

If there is no link then they may not have a VJ account but made a timeline (we allow). Which page would you like filtered for future filing dates? They do not skew stats though because they do not have "noa" (1 or 2) dates. They are ignored until future dates are added.
