Undo venue merge - how?
So one of my regular checkin spots has been erroneously merged with another by someone who I'm sure was looking to be helpful. How do I undo that? I'm a SuperUser level 1...

Inappropriate?as far as I know there is no undo for merges; you'll have to recreate the venue.
I’m confident

I can't re-create the venue, unless I call it something that is not its name. If I use the actual name of the venue on checkin, it just sends me to the merged venue.
Going to the website, I did manage to create a new venue though - it was the iPhone app that just forced the merged venue on me. -
they announced a few days ago that venue names are no longer required to be unique. you should try again.

Richard, I'm not sure what you mean. Certainly checking in using the iPhone App would punt me into the new (and wrong) merged venue... (?)

"@foursquare does this mean if I add my local Starbucks I can use the venue name "Starbucks" and it will still add?"

"@targeteer2k Yup, venuenames no longer need to be unique. NYC already has 20 venues just called "Starbucks""
