Is there a FS Report on how many duplicates have been merged by an individual?
Just curious, Is there a FamilyTree Report or Menu that reports how many profile merges have been performed for a given person with a FamilySearch Account? I was thinking about something like "My Contributions" that reports the Number of Merges Completed. Thanks.

No. The My Contributions feature only breaks out statistics for attached sources, persons added, and memories created. Clearly the data exists to report the number of merges, if FamilySearch chose to report that particular statistic, but among the many possible statistics, only those 3 are currently broken out.

Statistics can cause more harm than good, unfortunately, so I would not be happy if something along these lines was implemented in future. I am given far too much grief by having to undo incorrect merges, so - whilst I appreciate a main aim of Family Tree is to have just one profile per individual - I just would not want that aim to be "over encouraged" to certain users, who would probably be aiming to maintain a high "Number of Merges" figure in their Stats.
As with indexers who seem keen to keep records of the number of names they have indexed, I would always stress the "quality over quantity" factor here.

I think my thread (question) got off the spool .... thanks for everyone's response and opinions.
