During a raucous "hey, I've found something" session this morning, I've somehow duplicated one of the wives of the person I was working on.  They both have the same id number as well so don't think I can merge again.  Help!

It doesn't seem as though you have duplicated her, but you have attached her to two different people.  Simply edit the profile and detach the incorrect relationship.

If you look at this family tree view:
https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Gribley-Family-Tree-10
- it looks like Emma Krebs is in her proper place as the wife of Harry George Gribley - and in her wrong place as the mother of Harry George Gribley.

You should remove her as his mother - this is done from wher you see her in the right column of the edit page.

And then just create a new profile for H.G. Gribleys mother. I'm assuming you have the info for her.

You merged two women who were born in 1860 and 1882. Were they really the same person?

Yes, unfortunately.  I performed the merge thinking that it would eliminate one of them and thought I had everything checked and verified but guess I missed a step.
