Yikes! A bug, or did I screw it up?

It sounds like you did it right, but we'll take a look-see and make sure the author profile merger is working smoothly.

What I have done (with middling success) is "correct" the correct one to the incorrect (assuming it's the incorrect version that has more info) to merge the versions. Then correct it back to the correct spelling.
It's probably also a good idea to keep another tab/window open with the "more info" version, in case you lose it when merging.
Sometimes I even remember to do that . . . . ;)

I went into the incorrect profile and fixed the spelling of the last name, thus merging the two profiles together. The issue is that doing so deleted all of the information (other than name, of course) in the resulting profile. I went back and filled in a few pieces of information that I could quickly verify, but I'm wondering what happened. Is this a bug? Did I do something wrong?
