Finn, thanks for your attentiveness.
Figure 'Sigma total edits' (top left cell) was copied from an earlier
calculation, unlike the other totals, which were calculated while building
this table. But unlike this table the other table did not calculate monthly
totals for months where a major language (in casu English) was not yet
processed.
See
http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesWikipediaZZ.htm and you get my
point.
So to be precise: 'Sigma total edits' is actually 'Sigma total edits for all
languages for which counts are available'.
Fixed report is online. Someday we will have figures for the English
Wikipedia, fingers crossed :)
Cheers, Erik

Interesting!
I wonder why there is a discrepancy between the summary for the total
number. "Sigma total edits" are 119M but "Sigma manual edits are
higher:
193M. As far as I skimmed the figures are ok for the individual
languages.
best regards
Finn
