I see you completed a merge for Lively-124.
Once you have finished a merge, it is important to consolidate the information from the two biographies, which after the merge are just pasted together, one after the other.
Let me know if you would like help learning how to do this.

I'm a WikiTree mentor and I noticed that you rejected a merge a member had proposed between her own new profile and a pre-existing one.
It's important to understand that rejecting a merge really means that you are rejecting a match, i.e. you are identifying two profiles as clearly representing two different people, so they won't be identified as possible matches in future searches. If there is any question, they should be set as unmerged matches.
Also, unless it is a very old merge proposal in which no action has been taken, the two profile managers involved should be the ones to make the determination.
I don't want to dampen your enthusiasm. If you find that you are especially interested in merges, etc., you may want to become an arborist eventually.

Thank you for joining WikiTree. As a WikiTree Mentor I am available to answer any questions or help solve any issues you may be having. How is your experience with Wikitree going? Our G2G Forum is searchable or you can post a question there.
Do you have Royal Ancestors? They are already here on Wikitree! Rather than create duplicate profiles for them, please contact the EuroAristo Project to discuss connecting your family line to their profiles.
The Help Index is also an important place to find how to do most tasks.
Feel free to ask me via my profile page if you have any questions.
