The edit counter counts things such as: comments, replies, blog edits, category edits, user page edits, etc as edits, so the edit counter is actually inaccurate. If you look at your badges that you still have yet to earn, it will show a certain badge and the actual edits you have out of how many edits you need for that badge.
