Find my unmerged matches

Question

I know there has been a lot of discussion in the past on the number of unmerged matches that are languishing out there.   I was trying to put together some notes on how to work this issue when I came across this odd thing.   When I look at Pending Merges, then hit the link Unmerged matches intiiated by me,  I would expect to see the Unmerged matches that I created, instead, I see where I proposed the merge, but someone else did the unmerged match after the 30 day default approval.   How would that person ever go back to fix the profile, when there isn't a list that shows all the unmatched merges they have created?   Or am I mistaken, I thought if I created an unmerged match, I am responsible for working the issue.   Also, I cannot even see the unmerged matches associated with my watchlist.   Am I missing something here?

I picked up on one of your comments...........It is nice if the person who creates the unmerged match work it  but not a requirement. Sometimes it may be best to move a merge to unmerged match if you see inconsistencies to prevent someone else from inadvertently approving the merge.

Answer 1

This subject got dropped and I just recently realized, that I still do not have an answer.  IF I hit the link on the pending merges page, all I get are the unmerged matches that were done by myself and others ONLY on the merges I proposed.

I am trying to find a way to see the unmerged matches I have created, no matter who did the proposal of the merge.

If the link "Unmerged Matches Initiated by Me" is supposed to give me all the Unmerged matches I have created, then it does not work correctly.

Hello Robin,  I don't know that they will show up this way either.  Perhaps some one changed them over to Rejected Matches.  Click on the Rejected Matches link under your watchlist.  If, not then look the same way but only your Family Watchlist to see if they were rejected.  I think they just disappear after someone either merges or rejects them.  I have had the same thing happen to me.  However, I never thought to check under Rejected matches for them untill now.  Hope this helps.

Thanks Barbara, but, no, I can see that I made them unmerged matches, and that they are still unmerged matches, but they do not show up on the link.

Robin unmerged matches initiated by you are at the top of the pending merges page.

 The wife on both of the profiles are the same. Should have been merged instead of marking it an unmerged match.

I thought so, too....but hit the link, what you get is the unmerged matches on profiles where you intiiated the merge, not the unmerged match.   I think there is something wrong with the "programming".   However, I also realized that if I hit the link Unmerged matches intiated by me, and then the link that says My Watchlist, I do get any Unmerged Match that someone else did to a profile in My Watchlist.   I still cannot find a list of all the Unmerged Matches that I have done.
