Briefly 1 issue and 1 suggestion relating to merge options
1. Issues
When attempting to resolve merge issues , I was given only option #3 and #4 which is equivalent to Henry Ford remark that the options the customers have when purchasing Ford's car is "you can choose any color you like as long as it is black".
So I have to leave the merge unresolved. Can anyone assist me?
2. Suggestion

When comparing profiles to be merged, there are four options:
1) Yes, merge the profiles
2) Request to merge
3) No, they're different
4) I'll decide later
You'll always see #3 and #4 as options.
If you don't have permission to complete the merge, you'll see #2, but not #1, which is fine.
If you *do* have permission to merge the profiles, you'll see #1, but not #2.
My suggestion is that if you do have permission to merge the profiles, that *all* four options appear, not just #1, #3, and #4.
Why? Because sometimes you'd like to alert the profile managers that there is a pending merge (i.e. request a merge) rather than complete the merge yourself.
Just wonder why this suggestion is not implemented which may help to reduce users complaining that the managers were not consulted.
when profiles are being merged. However, if do not receive any responses from the managers,say within a week, you may then proceed to merge without requiring their approval.
