why does it say top contributor for me and then singles and dating, when I BARELY talk here. I'm always in the military section and sometimes politics. I mean my specialty is the military, how in the world did it come to singles and dating?

The more you answer in a particular category, and the more Best Answers you get (not the percentage) the more likely you are to get a "top contributor" badge next to your name, up to 3 categories. Levels, and points have nothing to do with it. I have it for answering in Yahoo 360 and Yahoo Answers categories, neither of which am I on the leaderboard, but I have been answering alot of questions in these categories recently. I do lead the category DIY and I do not have "top contributor" for that category, but I haven't answered much in that one for a while.

I know, I am supposedly a contributor to Celebrities, but I don't think I spend that much time there. Here's a Yahoo Staff person's explanation about Top Contributor:

Top Contributors are not necessarily determined by an Answerer's level. A Top Contributor is an Answerer whose Q&A shows that they are knowledgeable in a specific category. You can become a top contributor in up to three categories. The better your contributions are in any respective category, the more likely you'll become a Top Contributor for that category.

We basically take an Answerer's overall contributions on Answers in each individual category, toss them into a hamster wheel, and the ones that manage to stay on the wheel become Top Contributers.

Good luck!

I think it means they have a lot of best Answers. Or maybe it has to do with the percentage of answers. Something to contemplate...
