A few days ago, I tried to edit an academic profile tied to my name
http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Author/50160997/kevin-smith
But after making those changes, it has been locked for several days. I get the following message when I try to edit it now:
Updating By Other Users
Another user is updating the information for Author/Kevin Smith.
You can’t make changes to this Author until the preceding request got verified.
I have a feeling that this has to do with me having a common name. Could you please let me know what I need to do to edit again?
