What exactly were you trying to do? I see a bunch of edits done by you to that author that appear to have gone through.

Not Amanda, but I also tried.
Try to merge this profile https://www.goodreads.com/author/show... into this one: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...

I see a bunch of edits done by you to that author that appear to have gone through.

Nowadays, lots of changes that are made to books are confusingly showing up in the author changelog.

I am aware, but there are also some edits that are clearly an author merge, for example.

Thanks for specifying the issue. I am looking into it now.

Edit: Ok, all fixed. (I did several things, and am unsure which one(s) made the difference, but the author merge has now gone through.)

I don't think J.W. Scott and J W Scott should be combined, so could latter become J.W.^^Scott?

#914 I thought that there are at least two Mark Pattisons, one of whom, born 1813, I tried to separate from more recent author(s) for ^^profile.
