Is the biography on a merged profile gone forever? [closed]

Question

I was manager of a profile Van-9999 which in the light of newly discovered information could be seen to be a clear duplicate of Van-1000, so I proposed a merge. The manager of Van-1000, not by design, completed the merge without moving any of the stuff in the biography of Van-9999 into the merged profile. I am now a manager of the merged profile, but the Changes log does not show any of the edits I made to Van-9999, which included an inline image, a transcription and several source references. Do I now have to reconstruct all of it?

You can see the missing parents, by going to changes tab for new profile and click on Doe-200 in the merge change line. This will open that profile - now click on the "edited the data" description on the top line of changes for Doe-200, which will open the details for the items that were originally on Doe-200, including the missing parents. Does that make sense?
