I was working towards a badge on the Once Upon a Time Wiki:

Two Weeks on the Wiki
contribute to the wiki every day for 14 days (1/14)

http://onceuponatime.wikia.com/wiki/User:Perrina8

I noticed my time stamp was off & therefore it had reset the badge count to 1 day, despite making a post in the late evening. I fixed the time stamp (I guess it wasn't set up properly to begin with, so I changed it to New York, as it was the closest I could find to my region), but I am still back at 1 day, instead of 8 days. Is there a way to fix that count? —This unsigned comment is by Perrina8 (wall • contribs). Please sign your comments by adding "~~~~" in the source editor.

To answer your other question, no, I do not think there is a way to fix it. Badge progress is automatically tracked and there are no manual overrides. — Mathmagician 20:14, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you, Mathmagician- I changed my time stamp to New York, which now shows an edit on the 15th, and therefore 8 days. Guess I'll just have to start over, or not worry about it. Perrina8 21:06, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
