I got a crown saying "Top Contributor" on my Yahoo Account. What does this mean?
It means that your total number of answers and your Best Answer percentage in the category for which you were awarded the Top Contributor status met or exceeded the minimum BA% required for that category over a measured period of time. No one actually knows what the minimum BA% for TC designation is for any category (and it may or may not differ between categories) or what period of time is measured (likely one week, Monday to Monday), since those numbers are not specified. The point is, it's automatic. When your participation/Best Answer % in any subcategory reach the required minimum for the TC designation, you automatically get it. Not like it's 'bestowed' on the best or most knowledgeable users -- and it means nothing except that you've answered enough questions and received enough BAs in that subcategory to trigger the program that automatically 'awards' the TC crown.
How did you get Top Contributor?
Check out someone who has Top Contributor, and see what retarded questions and answer they have and tell me what you think. Because I know I've now been on Y!A for a couple of months , but alot of the Top Contributor, do not seem like what I thought the Top Contributor would be, alot of their answer's sucks and their question are worse. I understand that I'm not the greatest, but the answer's I saw last and the week before leave me to believe that maybe it's about quantity and not quality, what do you think.
What does "top contributor" mean?
A Top Contributor is someone who is knowledgeable in a particular category.The top contributor badge is dynamic, which means that you earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a particular category. Top Contributor badges are given out on Monday mornings only. If a person stops answering and getting best answers in that category, the top contributor badge can be taken away the same way on Monday morning. The total number of answers or percentage of Best Answers by which we can earn a TC badge is Yahoo's secret. No one is sure about it. Some say a total number of 70 answers and 10% best answer rate is required and some say that a total of 20 best answers in 3 weeks can earn a TC badge but these are all rumors My experience (TC more than 13 times in different categories) says that you have to earn 21 best answers within 3 weeks to become a top contributor. You can lose the badge within 3 weeks if you don't receive BA's Top Contributor badges are not given in Polls and Surveys and Jokes and Riddles sections. You can become a top contributor on any level. It has nothing to do with how many points you have and on which level you are on. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/answers... Have a nice day! :)

How do you get the little crown next to your name on yahoo messenger??!?!?!!?!?!?

I am a top contributor on Yahoo Answer - I have a princess crown. What does that mean? Can you provide me with a link that explains it?
The exact formula is secret and has changed over the years. The crown means you answer so many questions in one category and get a certain number of BAs in that category. There are thoughts that violations may enter into the formula.
How do I get a TOP CONTRIBUTOR orange sign?
The official criteria, "A "Top Contributor" is a member of the Yahoo Answers community who has shown that they are knowledgeable in a certain category. Each user can be a top contributor in a maximum three categories. You earn it or lose it depending on your recent participation in a certain section. The more positively you contribute, the more chance there is that you will get a TC badge. Just like featured users or category leaders, it's another way to give credit to community members." It is rumoured that you need at least a 10 percent best answers in your chosen category to get a TC badge although the actual percentage and the number of answers is Yahoo's secret. If you have contributed enough to meet Yahoo's criteria, the orange badge will appear below your avatar on Monday morning. It can disappear just as easily if you don't keep answering questions in your chosen category.

What is HuffPost Contributor platform?
I’m trying to find out about this now because I sent an article to the Huffington Post last week and it was accepted: Dear Establishment: Mussolini or FDR, Please Pick One. My post appears to be on the Huffington Post site (similar top nav bar, layout, ads, etc) but instead of being on their blog it is on their “Contributors” platform.This would be fine except that the article does not appear to be connected to the site in any way. Nothing from Huffington Post links to it, which means that it cannot be found by browsing Huffington Post. My name & bio are not linked to a page about me as they are with other authors, so no reader of one of my posts can find any of my other posts.More disturbingly, it has a “noindex nofollow” header, which tells search engines not to bother indexing it. No google search will ever find my article, making a post on Huffington Post Contributors considerably worse for the author (and the post) than posting on Medium.com or Criticle.me.The Contributors platform appears to be somewhat new. It looks like it was announced in June of 2015: Arianna Huffington's next million mark. We can hope they are still working out the kinks and that this “noindex nofollow” nonsense is a bug that will be fixed, or that it is a temporary header on each article until that particular article gets vetted.This is definitely not what I expected when I was accepted, though, and they should be more up front about it. I have emailed some questions to them to address this, and if it is not addressed I will take my posts elsewhere.
What are the historical inaccuracies in The Crown Season 1?
The first season of The Crown was quite an enjoyable one, especially during a rainy weekend. However, it seems that in order to secure location access and even the silent approval of the palace, the producers grossly glossed over a major historic fact: Edward VIII was a treasonous Nazi.In the series he may be portrayed as a gullible and naive yet lovable and even wise uncle - but the king who abdicated was much more. Clearly he did not simply harbor a “continental romantic sentiment about totalitarian regimes” or “a sympathy for the leadership of Hitler”, but was a full blown Nazi. He even trained his young nieces to give Nazi salutes in preparation of the new Europe, about to be unified under the German rule.Even after his exile first to Lisbon and later to Bermuda, he proved to be a persisting traitor and plotted with Germany to be reinstated once they invaded Britain. (See: The man who wanted to be the Nazi King of England and also: Unmasked: Edward, the Nazi King of England).I do want to give the benefit of the doubt: maybe Edward VIII was steering the country in a direction that was in direct collision with the elected government and so he was ousted by employing the “following his heart” excuse.And yet one cannot be certain whether this monumental inaccuracy was dictated by the Palace in order to steer clear from the implication that the House of Windsor was un-patriotically hedging their bets (so that, win or lose WWII, the Crown would always stay in power) or to avoid bringing up their fresh German origin and, thus, rekindle the sentiments that their house may well not be the rightful heirs to the throne of England.In any case, this approach shattered any notion that The Crown is either accurate or objective.
