Aug 30, 2015 at 11:42 comment added ArtOfWarfare It used to be possible for there to be a mismatch between the question it says you got a badge for and the question you actually got it for, but it was fixed in 2013: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/81013/…

Jul 22, 2010 at 16:38 comment added Aarobot @Tomalak: That's an interesting question and I believe you technically can. If you get upvoted 100 times on a question, then slip back to 99, then get 100 upvotes on a different question, you won't get the badge for the second question. But if you then get back to 100 votes on the first question, I think that the second badge is awarded then. I'm not sure how it works internally; now that the system tells you which question a badge was awarded for (if applicable), it would be interesting to test this out and see if the second badge is linked to the second question or first.
