Halpain-1 and Halpain-62 are the same, I proposed a merge about a month ago, and neither profile manager is responding. Are you all still active on Wikitree?

It has been a while since I've done a merge, I recalled that it just happens. The message I got from the system says the merge is blocked for a month (a new procedure?) to allow collaboration, and if there is no reply, then I can freely make the merge. Once that happens, I'll clean up the merger with Sarah Bishop as mother.
