The Editors_Daily dataset was updated per T314147 Data Pipeline for Unique Editor metrics by Country. [[ https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Data_Lake/Edits/Geoeditors#cite_note-1 | Documentation ]]
This impacts the queries used in monthly metrics for global south and global north metrics.
July metrics numbers were calculated and posted to Github and to [[ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wfTtHjQP9Kj0WME15ESJ-4dSMGMpbtY8qOuDVcwZovQ/edit#gid=1862467345 | editors sheets ]] after this change went into effect. July GS and GN metrics are using the updated editor name field. Previous months' data was calculated using the local fingerprint_or_id user name specific to each wiki. Superset data is updated on an automated process/schedule so July superset data was calculated the first week of August, prior to the Editors_Daily update. Comparing the same metric, from two sources that each used a different editor name column (Superset has the older local fingerprint_or_id and sheets has the global username which was added to the table) helps us see the impact of updating the table.
