How?

Regarding your recent CfD with hundreds of categories - I'd love to learn what script or gadget can be used to select multiple categories for a nom, notify editors, etc. I sometimes want to mass nom categories but don't do it, b/c I don't want to do it manually and each time I asked, nobody knows hot to automate this. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 00:22, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

I used a script called massXFD by Qwerfjkl. There are instructions on how to use it and how to install it on your common.js page on the tool's page. You can only use it for categories and redirects though, hope that helps! harrz ^talk 00:43, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Barnstar

How many barnstars have you received? Are you a bold editor? Engage01 (talk) 17:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Stop!

I am asking you about the article. Would you have a conversation about it? Engage01 (talk) 17:20, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I am happy to talk about it. I would recommend starting with that in the future, as a question about my barnstars is entirely irrelevant. harrz ^talk 17:22, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Everything relates including the ruddy duck article which I edited. First, of what interest is it to you about how celebrities are affected in the article about the fire? Did you see how many of them lost their homes? If you want to find quotations from them and supply them to the article, that's great. Engage01 (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

I am unsure what you are talking about as the edit of yours which I reverted was a long quote from a celebrity. I removed it for multiple reasons: it had already been removed previously; it clutters the page with largely unnotable information (for example a long description about what the fire looked like and an account of his personal experience whilst evacuating); and mainly because it is purely unnecessary - the 3-4 sentences about Steve Guttenburg and his reactions to the fire is sufficient. I would advise you to look at WP:3RR as this is edit warring, and would recommend you revert this edit for the reasons I have mentioned. harrz ^talk 17:31, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

I was saying and reiterate, look at the size of the article. 40k. Do you want to guess how large it will become?

Guttenberg's style of speaking requires editing anyway. I already put ellipses in it and shortened it in another way. If you want to post on this page an edited quotation, fine. It's very noteworthy how he spent several hours or longer trying to get to his home. It is unknown if he lost his home or not. The rest of the quotation is similarly pertinent. High winds happen in many places (including the Santa Ana winds, the williwaws, and the devil winds in South Africa, etc.) That belongs in the article as does Guttenberg (plus other famous people) helping first responders like the fire department. Guttenberg told the fire department to get a bulldozer (which they did). So you can see shortening the quotation doesn't apply. Engage01 (talk) 17:38, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Look at how Adolphus79 is making the article smaller. This would not be a good time to substantially change the article. Engage01 (talk) 17:41, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

It doesn't seem like we'll come to an agreement about whether this quote should be included or not, but I would advise you to look at WP:N to get an idea about what is and isn't notable. If this was a normal resident and not a celebrity would we include it? Definitely not. And it seems like other editors agree that it should not be included. harrz ^talk 17:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

Edward Kramer disambiguation

@Harrz -- I created the Edward Kramer (disambiguation) page without knowing how to make it work. Thank you for improving it! When someone searches for Edward Kramer, I wanted that disambiguation page to come up first; but the list of responses is

Edward Kramer Thompson

Edward E. Kramer

Eddie Emerson

Edward Kramer (disambiguation)

Edward A. Kramer

What I'd like would be

Edward Kramer (disambiguation)

Edward Kramer Thompson

Then there's Ed Kramer, for instance at Harlan Ellison#Support of Ed Kramer:

"Ellison voiced strong support for Ed Kramer, founder of Dragon Con <etc.>"

where the link goes to Edward E. Kramer, which puts up the little note (hatnote?): "(Redirected from Ed Kramer)"

This should also go to the disambiguation page. I don't know how to accomplish any of these desiderata, do you? Wikipedia:Help can be too byzantine for me. Thank you for your consideration.

Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 04:57, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

You can't change what articles come up first when you search, however for Ed Kramer you can change the redirect target to the disambiguation page by changing the link on it. I would also add the other two articles which come up (Edward Kramer Thompson and Edward Kramer Emerson) to the disambiguation page. harrz ^talk 15:14, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
