Number of edits?

So, these are the two screenshots of my contributions, one from google maps app and other from local guides website, As you can see number of edits are 31 in app and 81 in website, Why is it so? and which is correct?

Also, the progress bar in website changes every time I reload even with same points, What does it really signify?

Hello @theabbie ,

Thank you for asking. Please be advised that the database needs a few days to be synchronised so this could be one of the reasons. When was your last edit approved? Have you received a confirmation email for your edits being approved? Sometimes it takes time for an edit to be approved and even more time for you to receive the confirmation email.

In the meantime, I will check this issue and update you once I have something new!

With that said, the progress bar shows the points that you’ve earned from your contributions. The number may decrease if content is removed for violating our policies. For more information, check out this article Points, levels, and badging.

Let me know if that was useful, thanks!

There seem to be quite a lot of differences there @theabbie , not only in edits. Especially photos and reviews show big differences.

When I check the same on my profile, most of the numbers are the same between the 2 screens, except for edits, which has an significant difference (more than 500 less on the homepage).

@JanVanHaver ,

Could it be that one is the public record and the other private? So the difference is the pending edits?

My difference in edits is also considerable. 13954 in app and 15637 on the web page. About 1600 missing.

Cheers

15000 edits? OMG you are really catching up : - )

Interesting theory, and I guess it will be quite easy for @theabbie to check this: @theabbie are 50 of those 81 edits in status ‘pending’?

Are places and roads added also considered edits?

Even if we include pending it wouldn’t be 81, maybe it’s counting rejected one’s too

No, those 2 have a separate count @theabbie . But if you go to the Edits section of Your Contributions, you should be able to see if most of your suggested edits are Pending or not, as there are supposedly only 81 edits.

For @MortenCopenhagen (15K edits) or me (20K edits) it is not really an option to figure out how many Pendings we have.

@JanVanHaver ,

Thanks. A nice guy taught me some useful tricks…

Cheers

Hello @MortenCopenhagen @JanVanHaver

Is the count is total of all successful edits + re-edits?
Many a time, we suggest a re-edit if we find the original one to be erroneous. When accepted, both are likely to be treated as successful as these are for the same POI+field combination.
Nevertheless, we do not get extra points for that.

Interesting suggestion @C_T , but it can’t be the full explanation, as I have indeed made some edits already that were meant to correct a previous edit, but that would be something like 6, definitely not 600 ; - )

(And I guess @MortenCopenhagen will also not have 1500 of those)

I am not saying anything about a fresh edit after a successful edit @JanVanHaver
After submit, many a time we realize instantly that the suggestion was incorrect.
We again open that POI for re-edit.
“Maps” generates an email for both the events & thus those become two distinct edit attempts.
But during approval, the first pending edit gets overwritten by the newer one. However, the counter might be getting increased.

Okay, thank you for your detailed support

Vorrei fare una domand, Perchè nei miei contributi sulla scermata Badge di " indagagatore " mi vengono riconosciute 88 Modifiche , mentre nella schermata generale ne ho 145, che poi sono quellieffettivi?

Come si può chiedere di aggiornare tale contatore?

Saluti

Ciao @alessandro10558 ,

Benvenuto su Connect! Il database richiede alcuni giorni per la sincronizzazione e questo potrebbe essere uno dei motivi della discrepanza fra i numeri visualizzati. Quando è stata approvata la tua ultima modifica? Hai ricevuto un’email di conferma per l’approvazione delle modifiche?

Considera anche che il numero può diminuire se il contenuto viene rimosso per violazione delle norme che puoi consultare qui: Contenuti vietati e con restrizioni. Per ulteriori informazioni, consulta questo articolo su Punti, livelli e badge.

Ti informo del fatto che ho spostato il tuo post nella conversazione Number of edits? dove un altro membro con una situazione simile ha trovato giĂ  risposte in precedenza. Fammi sapere se queste informazioni ti sono state utili!
