Talk:Melanothamnus harveyi

Change of name.
Recent book gives new name: "Melanothamnus harveyi" - this is updated from Polysiphonia harveyi. How do I change the name as a title? This problem is new to me and I see there will be others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Osborne (talk • contribs)
 * please could you expand? Are you saying you want the article to be retitled?  If so, please cite the recent book.  You also may want to look at WP:Moving page.  Thanks,   Dr Strauss   talk   20:49, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks. I wish to rename/retitled the page as: Melanothamnus harveyi, the old name as used is/was Polysiphonia harveyi. The name was changed and published in: Bunker, F.StP. D., Brodie, J., Maggs, C.A. and Bunker, A.R. 2017. Seaweeds of Britain and Ireland. Second Edition. Wild Nature Press, Plymouth, UK. ISBN 978-0-9955673-3-7. I would be grateful for your help in doing this.Osborne 13:49, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
