Information from the FAQ:

You probably know the situation about the use of regions at BookCrossing.com. A quick look on People either on Browse Members or on Search Member, gives you an idea on how much mispelled regions exist in your country. The program, which statiscally evaluate the data, tries (for techies: by using regular expressions) to identify the different spellings and to allocate to the correct region of that country.

But this procedure can't get all "errors" - and if that happens, it will be counted in the region "wrong details". Mostly there are following cases:

1. A region was selected which belongs to another country. Mostly those BookCrossers weren't activ anymore, so that a correction will probably never made. Since beginning 2005, this problem doesn't exist anymore for the most countries, as since then a list of regions according the country is offered when new people joins BookCrossing. Sadly enough, they still can enter the region manually...
2. As region they have denoted "n/a", or the country itself, or they just repeated their city.
3. The region is so hard misspelled, that even the program couldn't guess which region was meant. Either, because the used an abbreviation, which the program doesn't know (yet), or they've used some HTML code in those fields...
4. They used comma's (",") in the city-field!! If someone absolutely want to name his district too, please, don't use any comma to seperate them. Every character is fine, as long as no comma is used.
   
   For the techies: The program gets the location as stringvalue with 2 comma's: "city, region, country". If a city has also a comma, the program gets "city, district, province, country". As you see, the province this is at 3rd position. Of course, such behaviour could be programmed too, but the problem is, that the input from the user is never defined: they could use more comma's anywhere...

Here a list with totals of BookCrossers depending on their registered and released books. This statistic is only created on the most recent evaluation. (01-05-2010).
