Profile Stats not Matching Writer Pool Stats

[jak]

Not sure whether this matters much, but it does appear rather odd. My profile states that I have written 189 articles, while my Writer Pools page says I have made 151 submissions. Is there a reason why the stats don't match? Is this something that needs fixing?

That's incredibly weird. Here are my numbers:

Writer pool work submitted: 351
Writer pool work approved: 333
Profile number of articles written: 298

I have deleted a few articles from my portfolio, but I don't think it's 50+. I'm also curious where these numbers come from... Could illuminate a few things for people first applying to the writer pools.

Adding to the same topic, does removing articles from your profile catalog affect your acceptance rate? Mathematically, it shouldn't, but I'm wondering if those articles we remove cause the percentages to change ... the system seeing those removals as rejections.

CC, I'm still curious.
