I have a bit of confusion about this. I thought a gold badge is given after you get 1000 up votes in a tag for example C#, Java, PHP, etc.

I saw this user (today) with only 476 upvotes for C# tag and he was given a gold badge in C# tag and elsewhere I saw this user with 764 upvotes in PHP tag but still no gold badge.

What is the criteria for this if it is not what I thought, that is 1000 upvotes?

Or is there a query I can run (in Stack Exchange data explorer) to determine the total votes earned by a user in the specified tag?

There is a nice greasemonkey script that shows you the total upvotes per tag you got.

The × nnn after the tag in the Tags section is not how many votes they have, but how many answers they've given for questions with that tag.

  • Then how to determine how many votes have been there for a tag?

  • Check out this link: stackoverflow.com/questions/… Replace the tagnames value and the pagesize to get other tags and more results. Though don't go too high with the pagesize.

  • @ChrisF: Thanks but it does not tell total upvotes a user has got in specified tag.

    @user If you look in the stats page for the given tag, the gray number under the all time section is the number of up votes that person has recieved.

  • @ChrisF: The pagesize value doesn't seem to do anything. I always get 20 results no matter what I put there.

You need total of 1,000 score (upvotes - downvotes) and not just upvotes.

Now you can directly see the actual score of particular tag for any user.

Just go to it's profile -> go to tags tab. Here the score for particular tag is available before tag name. Hover on it for more details. See this for example:
