   Format: MarkdownItexRonnie Brown in editing [[crossed module]] in the nLab accidently created multiple copies of the resulting nForum entry. I tried to help him to delete or edit to blank the extra copies but we did not manage to do so. It is not urgent but he would appreciate it if someone (more knowledgable than I am on such matters) could remove the duplicates. Thanks.

   • hit “edit” on the top right of each comment to be deleted

   Format: MarkdownItexI have deleted the duplicates now, and also changed the author of the comments from the generic 'nLab edit announcer' to Ronnie's nForum user, so that Ronnie should now be able to edit the comments if he wishes. The reason that the edit announcer did not correctly find Ronnie's user is that Ronnie's nForum username is 'Prof Ronald Brown' whereas the nLab edits were signed 'Ronald Brown', and the edit announcer was not clever enough to be able to associate the two; however, the edit announcer has a list of manual associations for cases like this, and I have now added a line to it so that if Ronnie continues to use 'Ronald Brown' when editing nLab articles, the edits should from now on show up on the nForum with Ronnie's user. If Ronnie needs a reminder of his nForum login details, let me know.
