I have noticed that the number of identifications attributed to me on my profile page is 197 less than the number reported on the “Your Identifications” page (i.e. "## IDs made for others "). Why is this the case?
I could understand if one was not counting my IDs on my own observations, but then the former should be greater than the latter.
Pretty sure I have not withdrawn 197 IDs.
I think this is the case. If you Agree with a new ID after you already had an ID, then it’s counted as withdrawing. I think the answer is at the bottom of this post:

I agree, it happens to me as well.
