I had pared downed my Squidoo lens list considerably in anticipation of the switch-over ... leaving me with a total of 94 lenses to be transferred.
I just logged into HubPages and saw that I have a total of 105 Hubs. Going through the stat list, I see that 11 lens titles (indicated in red title text) are duplicates with no content on the pages.
Example ...
http://deegallemore.hubpages.com/hub/red-kuri-squash-2
All content in tact
Featured
Last changed: 8/4/14
......................
http://deegallemore.hubpages.com/hub/red-kuri-squash
Empty page
Not featured
Last changed: 9/6/14
.....................
Notice that my new Hub URL has a "2" after it on my in-tact Hub (as though it was seen as a duplicate) ... while the empty duplicate Hub is using the URL that should have been assigned to what was transferred.
I don't want to touch anything until I can get some clarification so here's my two-part question:
... 1) Can I safely delete the "empty" page the Hub"Bug" created without losing my in-tact page?
... 2) How can I ensure that the correct URL (without a "2" after it) will be assigned to my in-tact page?
Hope this makes sense ...

Hi Dee! For now, you can safely delete the "empty" Hubs and not worry about the "-2" at the end of the URLs. The good news is that your Squidoo URLs are properly redirecting to the Hubs with your content. Engineering will try to look into fixing the "-2" in the URLs down the road if they get a chance. Unfortunately, there are more pressing bugs to work on currently.
Really appreciate your response. Will go ahead and delete those empty ones.
Thanks for all you're doing ...

They are all original hubs written by me, in my own words drawn from research from a variety of different places.I didn't post any of them anywhere else... I don't get it?They all just popped up today, so unless someone else is taking my stuff and posting it elsewhere I don't know what's up.It also...

According to Paul Deeds' forum post, transfers of articles on Squidoo are beginning today. Has anyone had their account transferred yet? If so, how did it go?http://hubpages.com/forum/topic/123836? … ost2621573

Well, that’s nice, very nice. I haven’t got a clue of what I did wrong. And after filling in the online appeal form they told me they had reviewed my account information, taken my feedback into account, but still had concluded that my AdSense account has posed a significant risk. And I have no idea...

Hi all,Initially I was not planning to publish the information of my hubs here because I think it is somewhat personal. So, I have sent a message to the hubpages support about 24 hours ago. But since I haven't get back any reply and my hubs are all still unpublished, I guess I have to do more to...

Please help me..What's the punishment of Duplicate?One of my hub is marked as Duplicate. Ok, I agree that some lines match with other websites. Then I submitted it for re-publication mistakenly without clarifying or erasing the duplicate lines. Will my account be de-activated? I've never fallen in...

After over a month of careful watching, here is what I have observed as an HP writer;1- My "reads" on HP are steady at 400+ daily.2- Google (US, AU, NE, UK, CA, etc) have all but abandoned my articles with a dramatic decrease in Google Traffic. 3- All of my other sources of traffic are...
