The following comments are meant as feedback to the Local Guides Email Team and they are based on the June status email received today.
The term “New views” should be explained better. I get almost a million new views per day, so the 212.114 views must be on contributions made in June only. Please specify this in your next status email. I think it would be better if you mentioned the total views and not just the ones to this month’s contributions.
There is some error in the numbers. How can 212.114 be up 686.210 views from last month? That would mean I had a negative number of views in May. The 686.210 should never be bigger than the 212.114 when there is an increase as indicated by the green arrow icon!
The image showing the places I contributed to is missing.
The You are on a roll data is incorrect. Normally this is counted in weeks not days. I have contributed every week in June. This is the text from my May status email:
This month you hit a 129 week contribution streak.
I hope you will see this as constructive criticism.
Cheers

My guess @MortenCopenhagen is that you’re unusual and your numbers don’t fit in the allocated space.

- Related to you remark 2, I noticed the same thing in my side :
- Related to your remark 4, it’s correct in my side, in French, it’s displayed semaine (= week)
It seems there is a bug in the displayed infromation.

Happy to report that the September status mail got the roll correct.
But the count of new views is still totally off. Maybe @Bobiisha kindly would remind the team.
This is what it said in my September mail:
294,469
New views
+219151 from last month
In broad terms, I currently get about one million new views daily, so maybe the problem is as simple as a rounding error, or the length of the field is too short so incorrect truncation is made.
I have speculated that this number could be views of newly added places. But if so, I would argue that the total views achieved during the month would be a lot more motivational.
