Company merge not working
+issue
Started the merge process and clicked "submit". The interface stayed 'submitting' for a little while and then refreshed to 'begin merge' page, without showing a 'Success' or 'Error' message. I double checked the companies to see if the merge happened, but there are still relationship answers that have not merged.

In other cases merge isn't working but I only get rats https://wikirate.org/PT_TIMAH_INDONESIA?view=merge (attempting to merge to PT Timah TBK)
This looks like things working correctly to me. For example, consider these two relationships:
https://wikirate.org/Commons+uses_Gold_smelted_by+WESTELL_TECHNOLOGIES_INC+2014+C_Hafner_GmbH_Co_KG
https://wikirate.org/Commons+uses_Gold_smelted_by+WESTELL_TECHNOLOGIES_INC+2014+C_Hafner
There's a conflict that our merge tool currently can't resolve, so it doesn't delete them and leaves it up to us to fix by hand.
Not saying it's the ideal solution, but it's the current one.
As for the rat cases, those look like bad data.
I understand the solution for conflicting data, but in these cases there's also information that hasn't been merged. For example https://wikirate.org/Vasiliki_Gkatziaki+is_Gold_supplier_of+C_Hafner_GmbH_Co_KG+2016 - ABB, Verizon Communications Inc. and Ball relationships haven't transferred over to https://wikirate.org/Vasiliki_Gkatziaki+is_Gold_supplier_of+C_HAFNER+2016. This could be a problem of the filter and paging (paging is not working for me and the companies are not coming up in the name filter), but otherwise it seems like a merge issue
Hmm, ok I see your point.
Let me do a little more data cleanup and then I'll ask you to try to merge again.
Close this? Or wait until data is good on live?
If the re-merge goes well, feel free to close.
