How do I remove a duplicate web link?
Silly me, I added the same site to my profile two times. How do I get rid of one of them? If I mark one with a no vote, will it get rid of just that entry or both entries?
I’m unsure

Jöand Kathy: Keeping both links there doesn't really help us debug too much. Duplicate URLs are a known problem with the site. Usually there aren't exactly the same URL (the casing is different or there's an extra slash at the end). But regardless, we have plenty of examples to look at.
Sylvain, just vote the link down if it's inaccurate. Here's more info about voting:

Inappropriate?Hi Kathy,
you can remove your vote on the lower photrade link. As you are the only voter this will remove the URL.
@Spock: How could that happen? Adding duplicates is usually treated as voting "YES" on the existing URL -
Inappropriate?Joel,
You are right, I can remove the 2nd link via voting. The question for the Spock devs is, do you want me to down vote it so it goes away, or do you want it left until you can figure out how it got in there twice.
One of my concerns with just downvoting the link is that I don't want to have both links disappear. :) -
Inappropriate?Kathy,
Thank you for clarifying. I suggest not using the "No" vote, but instead using the "Remove Vote" option. As the second URL is apparently an Spock object of it's own it will be deleted if there is no vote on it. Voting "No" might even keep it alive though off-screen. Not sure about that one, but a small test indicated the object might stay alive even if there are only "No" votes on it as long there is a vote at all.
I don't think that both links will disappear as they constitute two independent database objects incidentally filled with the same content.
Left open is the question if the links help in debugging how this happened in the first place. Spock team? -
Inappropriate?Hi there,
I have only one link in my profile and I want to remove it. How should I do?

Inappropriate?Thanks a lot for your quick answer, Wayne.
Notice that I had already tried this several times, without any success. However, it is all right now.
I might have found an issue. Here is what I did:
1- My Spoke page was created automatically, probably by importing my linkedin profile. All listed websites were already there, I did not add any by myself.
2- I tried voting NO to the first listed web sites many times, without having the site disappearing.
3- I voted NO to a site listed in "Other Results from the Web". This site disappeared.
4- I tried step 2 again and it worked: the site disappeared.
