Well I think this is the final list for Quinnos 2016 challenge. Best of luck to anyone else who is going to take a stab at it!

In addition the ability for everyone to record their pub visits is under development.
I've made an assumption that if you've reviewed a pub up to now then you probably also visited it. There is currently no way to remove that recorded 'visit' where it isn't actually the case. Lots more coming soon, I hope.
I've added date to one of my locals The Royal Oak can't see anything telling me the date I've selected though unless I'm missing something.
OK you need to stay on the quinno link to filter on yes/no's of popular names if you've ticked a yes and added a date.
Further edit OK a pub i went in years ago has a yes tick against it and my name because I reviewed it years ago.
Good WIP. Will ROBCamra be able to see a visit date before shutting something that you've been in as open 2 days before/because the internet/whatpub suggests otherwise?
Still working my way through the list ticking off my unreviewed pubs from years ago , I notice this one is missing that I have reviewed
The Station Pizza Kitchen and Bar.
As you've noticed there is nothing yet on specific pub pages to suggest a visit has been recorded.
Clearly I need to get that done, that interface will need to allow you to record multiple visits which is something I haven't quite got my head around yet.
Also as to whether others will be able to see visit date - need to give some thought to that whole area as there might be privacy concerns. For example if I put a button on the mobile version of a pub page saying "I'm here now" would people really want it advertised to the world that they are at a pub right now. I think I know how I'm going to work that, but not quite there yet.
The problem I have is that I have written some code to strip common endings from names, such as "Hotel", "Inn" and the like. I did start to get into the more obscure so I included "Bar and Kitchen", "Kitchen and Bar", "Pub and Kitchen". This means that my popular name system currently thinks that venue is called Station Pizza. I've now added it to the Station list - which may cheer up Quinno as he hasn't been there and it isn't too far for him!
Actually, on that note if you go to a town page such as http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/towns/fleet/hampshire/ you should have a new button on the right hand side under "page tools" that allows you to go and mark off visited pubs by town.
Another missing possibly due to aforementioned technicalitys is The Castle Tap, unfortunately for Quinno he has done this one, it would be far too easy.
And another, Eagle Ale House.
Are these being helpful Dave ? Or is it something you will get to in due course.
Ive done 241 out of 255 which now seems to be the new target,my highest rated pub name not visited is the Six Bells at 124,i know i have done a few Six Bells ime sure i did one in Brentford when i did a crawl round there,most of the name missing on my list i have done,though probably not a Waverley.
Now 10 new ones for 2016 on Quinnos list,not a bad start for the year,but i will not go out of my way to do them.
Nice one Dave.
A couple of points: the new Quinno's Challenge stats page shows that I have not been to a pub called Coopers Arms, but I have in fact been to Coopers Tavern in Burton. As per previous discussions I had assumed this would count. (BTW I'm not at all bothered about this, it's just geeky completeness syndrome.) Also I'm sure I'm not the only one who has posted a "review" of a pub that I haven't drunk in, for any number of reasons, so if you could include a "not actually visited (yet)" button at some future time, that would be great.
Just added my first pub on Quinnos challenge, The Greyhound,if I get anywhere close to 50 in the next year I will be amazed.
Did have 118 on the original list .
I'm off to a flying start with - er, zero.
I claim 171 prevous, though, of which 163 are reviewed on here.
As far as the list is concerned in these cases "Castle Tap" and "Castle" are different pub names, as are "Coopers" and "Coopers Arms".
The following is the list of suffixes that have been dropped:-
Inn
Inne
Hotel
Tavern
Bar & Kitchen
Pub & Kitchen
Kitchen & Bar
Wine Bar
Bar
"Arms" is not something we routinely stripped from the end of names, this means there is "Queens", "Queens Head" and "Queens Arms" on the list which I think is fair enough. There are probably some examples where "Arms" should be treated in the same manor as "Inn" or "Tavern" but the problem is that we'd have to go through the whole 2500 different names to decide which.
Anyhow, the button for removing a visit will be coming soon, it is very much a priority because I know I'm going to press the wrong button soon!
This isn't a pressing point but some of the values for me were wrong due to multiple reviews. I've deleted as many as I can find (there are still three) but it hasn't fixed my totals. Will the data that the list is based on be extracted afresh at some point. I've no intention of taking on this challenge as I've got several lesser goals and the Moon Under Water isn't there! Nevertheless it's interesting to see how the totals work out.
When I extracted possible 'visits' from reviews that was a one off process in which the two things are no longer linked.
So adding a new review or deleting an old one wont create or remove a visit. What I need to do is create a button to remove visits that are wrong and I also need to make it possible to create multiple visits.
Which totals are wrong? The ones in the tables or the ones in the bit of text at the top - or indeed both? If those are wrong it is because I haven't properly thought something through and need to correct it!
Do the figures in the main table (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/stats/ch...e/quinno/2016/) look right now? I've made a change that should help. I hope. :muppet:
What happens if a visited pub closes before the end of the year?
Is there a way I can submit a spread sheet of all the pub names I've been into that I can remember whereby a bulk upload of yes's and dates could occur?
These are the first few I've gone through with just a number against them let alone location and it's going to take a while if my OCD can't be reigned in.

If possible would it need to only include current open pubs or could shut demolished count?
I've just invented a new challenge today which is to do them in 2's after I ended up visiting The Sun Inn and The Sun Inn.
We also need a delete/edit button as I accidentally hit today's date for this The Sun Inn also under Swindon when I actually went in on 23/11/2013.
.
Dave ,any chance of a button that changes the list to alphabetical and back again? It would make searching easier.
Sussed it if you use the Visited Pubs button from the Page tools when on an area main page you can correct this.

Let me just recap on this challenge, I presume its 250 new pubs on the list each with a different name, so if for example you visit two new Cricketers this year, only one of them will count for the challenge purposes. Have I got that right?
Hmmm just added some reviews that tickle the challenge names and they aren't being picked up...DAVE! :confused:
Sorry I didn't clarify that creating 'visits' from reviews was a one time process. From now on they are detached separate things, so to record visits you need to press the visited button and add a date if you want it picked up for the 2016 challenge.
10 ticks in and around Romsey last Sunday takes me up to 17. Need 21 a month...
A couple more anomalies:
The Grove Arms Inn isn't picked up by Grove
The Ring of Bells by Ring O' Bells
and in the 'ever' column, it doesn't pick up closed pubs (did someone already mention that?)
One for Dave
I've been busy investigating the listed 'Lounge' places as I suspected a fair chunk of them were not pubs or bars (or even open) and I was right!
Some names have changed but the list doesn't seem to want to refresh and drop them - can you take a look? It does take the closed ones out though.
One of the Loungers chain has snuck on there: Lounge (I think Dave you said you'd knock those off the original list?)
I need to manually drop things from the list as we wanted a fixed point of reference in case stuff changed during the year after you had visited if that makes sense. I will refresh the Lounge list for you at point.
I stand by my original comment regarding the Lounge in Bedminster though.
OK cool - and yes I'm fine with Lounge in Bedminster (did it back in day anyway so not eligible!)
I'll probably work my way through one or two other names that may well have flagged some false positives so don't be surprised to see some data changes. I don't want to schlep out to a far-flung corner of Britain only to find a strip club or nightclub (as happened in Southsea on Saturday), so doing my research now! :D
