This profile was part of the Integrator Challenge, but that's just because the correct merge was rejected. I hope it will go through this time.

Nice catch!  :). The only thing that gives me pause is the different spouses. If we merge them, does that automatically accept all items on both sides as fact?
posted by Dana (Sartain) van der Bijl

Yes the merged profile will show both wives. If you don't think he had 2 wives, then it is up to the profile managers to check that info. If we find one of the wives is wrong, we can always detach one of them later.
