Two pages for the same episode (The Matt Walsh Show)

The Left Anoints the New George Floyd

The Left Anoints the New George Floyd

These two pages refer to the same episode and must be merged.

Because they have the same title and same episode number I am unable to merge them myself.

Actually the titles are not strictly identical, as the second instance of the article "the" is capitalized for tt27674769, whereas the same word at the same offset is lowercase for tt27674853. The lowercase rendition represents the proper capitalization, but I couldn't say for sure at the moment whether or not it is appropriate for this particular case.

@jeorj_euler​ Yes, it's true there is a difference in capitalization. Just the same, the system does not allow me to request a merge—only to correct the capitalization on the incorrect title.

So, no error message is produced? Instead, the expected behavior of a warning message that a merge is to take place doesn't show? That would match what I experience in the submission interface, concerning this anomaly. I played around with it, but didn't actually submit the update, but I assumed that I could've and received a submission reference number as a result.

@jeorj_euler​ Yes, there was no warning message telling me I was about to merge two titles. I assume that even if I submitted a correction on the capitalization of one title, the two pages would have remained separate.

Strange.

I should clarify that one need not be an IMDb data editor to submit this merge for approval.

Hi jay_spirit-

Thank you for reporting this duplicate title page! I have gone ahead and merged the title pages. The changes are already live on the site. 

Cheers!
