I have noticed that some of my 200 word reviews don’t come up as registered. Some of my edits don’t come up as registered and also my edits. I have also noticed I’m registered as a new on a few badges when I have 1000x the amount of information registered for each section needed. Makes me wonder if there is a problem with the counting system?

Regarding your issue, let me split it in two parts:
Reviews. The reason why some of the contribution are not counted is that the contribution are “private” (not publicly visible). We can’t comment on what we can’t see, but please read An update on how we moderate Google Maps reviews to find an explanation and to “submit a request through this form” if you think that the private reviews are not violating any policy Please check the policy carefully, as I can see some violation also on your visible reviews, and in some of your photos.
Edits: Points for edits are give 24 hours after the approval of the edit. Please keep in mind that the points are given ONLY when edits are approved, as indicated in the Pop-up that you see when you submit an edit
