Correcting/merging profiles

Question

Hi

My wife recently decided to look into her father's line.  He was the son of Thomas Edwin Baker who was the son of John Lewis Baker.  When my wife searched for Thomas EDWIN Baker on Wikitree she discovered a profile for Thomas EDWARD Baker (62804).  That profile seems to be for Thomas EDWIN Baker whose ancestry, birth and death details match my wife's ancestor, Thomas EDWIN.  However, the marriage cited on the profile is for a Thomas EDWARD and the profile has been given his name.  Neither of us knows how to go about deleting the incorrect marriage citation, correcting or merging records, or how to do so without creating cascading problems in other profiles.  My wife's ancestor married Hilda Janet Rogers (46885) and that marriage is the one that should be included in the 62804 profile.  What should we do?

Many thanks

Just had a look and there is no Profile Manager so will be easy to change. Click on edit and replace the wrong marriage citation with the correct one if you have it. Changes on any page does not affect any other profile. I tried to access Victoria BDM but they are having problems at the moment. You can also adopt the page.

UPDATE: Victoria BDM now working, have added inline sources for birth, marriage, death and burial and changed middle name to Edwin
