Difference between newsletter and WikiTree webpage top contributors list

When I received my WikiTree News email today, it said I was the #2 contributor to Gilchrist profiles for the month of April. So on WikiTree I went to the WikiTree page which shows my surname contributions for the month of April. Then I clicked over to the list of other Gilchrist contributors. On the WikiTree page of my own contributions, it says I was the #1 Gilchrist contributor. Not only was my ranking a difference, but the names of other top Gilchrist contributors in the newsletter does not correspond at all to the list of top contributors on the WikiTree page of top Gilchrist contributors--totally different people in each listing except for me. 

Please don't take this as a complaint, but just an alert that something may be wrong in the reporting of the top contributors either in the newsletter or on the webpage. I am not in competition with anyone so it doesn't matter about my personal ranking in the list. If I need to forward my copy of the WikiTree news to someone so you can see what it says, let me know.

I've seen similar differences with the Ward numbers.

Nelda, can you forward the email to me so I can see who was listed as the top contributors?

I just forwarded it to you.
There is definitely some sort of bug -- the newsletter top contributors matches the top contributors for January.
