It might help your credibillity if you actually look at the figures you quote.

1) From March to June is longer than one month. There's April and May between 
them.

2) The numbers say there is an _increase_ in the number of active mappers from 
13,675 to 14,018. "drop of 1% of users actively contributing" <> "1% drop in 
active contributors"
