Incomplete profile of myself created by someone else - how to handle?

Question

I've just created an account. I've created a profile for myself and my father. Subsequently, I found that a cousin had previously created a partial profile with the first initial (which my father and I share) and our last name. This appears to be the only entry she created. Should I just leave her entry alone? Edit it to complete it?

Thanks

Answer 1

I see that you've adopted the profile. You'll want to merge your father's profile into W.

How?

Answer 2

Ask to be on the trusted list or else see if she will give you control of the profile.

Answer 3

Sounds like this will be a duplicate profile. Consider merging, but be aware that your profile ID will become that of the earlier profile. Your cousin may need to approve the merge, also, but once the merge is complete, you'll be able to edit the profile to meet your needs.
