I'm not sure how or whether to award a bounty I started on Double sum - Miklos Schweitzer 2010 - it's been answered by a mathoverflow user, and pasted into a community wiki answer by another mse user.
Any advice?

$\begingroup$ I can delete my answer, if you wish. Mac you could copy and paste the answer so that you get the bounty. $\endgroup$– user9413Jun 13, 2011 at 8:27

If you award it, that user will get the reputation, regardless of community wiki status.
Beware auto-award thresholds.
If you absolutely, positively need to ensure that no user gets the bounty, flag it for mod attention with an explanation and a moderator can remove the bounty.

2$\begingroup$ @mac the bounty will be auto-awarded in many circumstances; see math.stackexchange.com/faq#bounty $\endgroup$ Jun 11, 2011 at 23:30

$\begingroup$ oh, thanks. I guess in this case there is no absolute positive need to not award half the bounty in this way, so I'll probably just do nothing and let the system do its thing. $\endgroup$– macJun 11, 2011 at 23:49
