Mircea Merca's conjecteture

Mircea Merca conjectured that $$left lfloor{frac{1}{n}sum_{k=1}^nsqrt{k}}right rfloor=left lfloor{left(frac{2}{3}+frac{1}{6n}right)sqrt{n+1}}right rfloor$$
John Zacharias claimed that he had proved this conjecture in this article. Did he actually prove the conjecture? How can I find the related article?

    The asymptotic behaviour of $H_n^{(1/2)}$ can be found by summation by parts or creative telescoping. This is more a challenging exercise in Calculus than a ground-breaking conjecture.

    This is OEIS sequence A300287 which has a link to Thomas P. Wihler, arXiv:1803.00362.
