Ratings Versus Reviews Inconsistency

Not sure if anyone knows how to fix this but I have posted 3306 reviews but IMDb shows that I have posted 3307--one review more. Additionally, IMDb shows I have rated 3306 films (which is the correct number). So, I believe what has happened is that there was a review that I edited (for punctuation,

I posted reviews for 2 different episodes of a TV show, both of which I later on edited to simplify and or fix grammar errors. However, when I went to edit them a second time, either a few hours or a day or two later, they disappear, and both met all guidelines. One of which was deleted about a year

user reviews

Since the time when IMDb revised the menu dropdown order on the user review page, no one is reading my reviews, which now number 196 and focus on classic films from WW2 through the end of the Viet Nam War era in the 1970's.
