How can this be??
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jackson-25621 - This URL is for Beverly (Jackson) Fallin
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jackson-25621 - This URL is for Mary Josephine "Mollie" Jackson

There appears to be two profiles for Mary Josephine Jackson (25621 and 28442) and I was trying to propose a merge but this Beverly Jackson Fallin kept coming up on the compare screen.  Help??

Both URLs seem to go to Beverly.

Looks like you may have to recheck your numbers.

agreed, it's in the numbers ... being very very careful I tested both URL, the one ending in /25621 (Beverly) and the one ending in /28442 (Mary) and they DO land on separate people ... so there's no problem if the numbers "add up" (LOL) 

The two URL presented above to us are the same identical URL both ending in /25621 (Beverly) ... so there's really no mistake from the computer's point of view 

I will say that sometimes my own experience in using a computer is like taking a short detour through Twilight Zone in very strange company -- printed books don't do this to me, but a keyboard ...
