Following up on a new Tree Match, I came across

Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen was added as Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen's wife by xxxx
Oct 12, 2012 at 3:23 PM ( xxxx is my edit) on Sarah Stadlen
And then next line there
Sarah Portnoy was merged into Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen by xxxx2
4 hours ago · view (again, xxxx2 my edit)

And on the spouse, Joseph, Joseph Stadlen
Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen was added as Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen's wife by xxxx
Oct 12, 2012 at 3:23 PM
And then next line there
Joseph Stadlen was merged into Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen by xxxx2
4 hours ago · view
And then,
On the Profile now, and then, showing as Joseph Stadlen
It gives many updates from the merge ( done by Geni) - referring to profile as Sarah (Portnoy) Stadlen and then as Sarah Stadlen.
And then
Abraham Stadlen was added as Sarah Stadlen's father by xxx2
4 hours ago

Since it is referring to Joseph Stadlen as Sarah now, I am wondering if Revision Tab has it wrong in the line from 2012 also, but in any case, is definitely wrong - and very confusing - now

Yes, you right. Probably some bug in geni.

Also errors on Revision Tab for Fannie Lederer
In Charles Rotbart was added as Charles Jacobs's daughter by Howard Eichenwald.
Jan 30, 2014 at 2:11 AM -- "Charles Rotbart" is link to Lois -- Lois J Novasel
(May be more)

Following.

On Revision List for Lois Lois J Novasel
Top line currently shows
Fannie (Jacobs) Lederer was connected to Fanny (Jacobs) Rotbart as his wife by Howard Eichenwald.
42 minutes ago

BUT Fannie links to Henry. Henry Rotbart not to Fannie

Howard Eichenwald. Calling your attention - Geni seems to have a bug!!

Oops, correction - it is second one, so Fanny not Fannie who is a links to Henry, not to a Fanny

I opened a Ticket for three other profiles with Revision Tab Link Problems, and included a link to this discussion in it.
I fear my attempts at description are not at all clear. But there is a serious problem.

Also on Revision Tab of Fannie Lederer

In the line Charles Rotbart was added as Charles Rotbart's brother by Howard Eichenwald.
Jan 30, 2014 at 2:13 AM

The second Charles Rotbart is a link to Lois Lois J Novasel not to a Charles

Here is another example of a "botched" merge, which I believe was a system's problem: https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79434969470

One of the two profiles in the "botched" merge Karel refers to just above is Rebecca (Silverman) Bluestone - Rebecca Bluestone
(Merge and unmerge done Monday, so Jan 4, 2021)

On her Revision List is "Aaron Bluestone was added as Rebrcca (Aronson) Bluestone's sister by Harold (Dave) Fassburg.
Jul 26, 2011 at 8:01 PM" -- But - Aaron links to Rose - Rose Bluestone

And line just above (so happened just after)
Aaron Bluestone was added as Aaron Bluestone's brother by Harold (Dave) Fassburg. -- but second Aaron links to Rose

And line above that is
Rebrcca Bluestone was added as Rebrcca (Aronson) Bluestone's spouse by Harold (Dave) Fassburg.
Aug 21, 2011 at 9:20 PM
But first link goes to Leon - Leon Bluestone

In the set of three Profiles (all living, one claimed blood kin to me) I reference in my ticket, but not here, there is no merge shown in the Revision List for any of them,
So maybe it is whatever is causing the problem seen on the Revision list that is causing some merges to merge to the wrong person?

Following.

More, This also was. unmerged. https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=79461685570
And checking Profiles in it, see

Revision Tab for Rachel David Nail includes
First line, so bottom -- Jacob Nail was added as David Nail's son by Stephen Bowman.
Dec 16, 2012 at 11:31 PM -- But David is a link to Thomas Thomas Nail

Next line - Rachel Nail was added as David Nail's daughter by Stephen Bowman.
Dec 16, 2012 at 11:31 PM -- Again, David is link to Thomas, not David

Another new example of what is probably the same situation spelled out in
https://www.geni.com/discussions/216411?msg=1448487

Livio Scremin - I titled this before I had a full realization of what was going on, but think they are all probably same cause as what you jus reported in that link - do you agree?

Yes /!\ DANGER BUG /!\ ongoing

I had noticed something strange lately with the male female mess, but today I noticed that it mixes not only son brother wife, but also between one profile and the other.

/!\ The reviews are currently not reliable /!\

I had opened a ticket on Jan 8th, which included some other examples and a a link to this Discussion. Got first response today - Feb. 8th
Response I received:
"Thank you for contacting Geni, sorry for the delay. Thank you for the examples, they have been sent to our engineers. The profiles affected appear to be older profiles created in 2012, 2014, etc., but our engineers are trying to determine which profiles are affected. We currently have a manual fix for these to reset the creation revision, so all the examples provided have been fixed."

Livio Scremin - Think your example is among the ones they fixed.

yea perfect! :D

and what the heck of merge!! ;D

however, it is actually an BUG that insiders will have to keep in mind, because if to correct some new stupid conflict by some new automatic Gedcom, they do not go to destroy good merge sidetracked by the BUG :/

-new example: [Gennaro 2021] + [Gennaro 2012]
(revision shows Gennaro merged in his wife Cornelia)
