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
