Could a dev please reassign a few edits from a user rename that didn't complete? Edits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Odea should go to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/O%27Dea Thanks.
These later contributions were made after the rename, which is why they didn't move. The user Odea was autocreated shortly after the rename, probably by the user visiting the wiki with the old credentials in their browser. I am scratching my head trying to figure out how we can verify that the new user account Odea really is the user O'Dea. If both accounts make an edit to one of their talk pages, say O'Dea's, verifying that they are the same user, that should suffice.

They've confirmed on their talkpage: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:O%27Dea&oldid=468274796. O'Dea has said on my talk that the edits on the Odea account were accidental (because of SUL issues). I'm hoping it's possible to merge the edit histories; however, I understand this may be an unusual practice. --Maxim
