A humble request[edit]
Hi, Kevin! I'm glad to see that you are still active at WP and involved in so many areas. It's been a long time, but I am sure that you are thriving in your offline life, on top of all you do at WP.
I'm writing to ask you for a small favor. It happens that another editor and I have been working on separate articles on the same subject: a current California wildfire known as the Post Fire. I was working on Post Fire (although I didn't create it), while he was working on Post Fire (2024), which he did create. The articles should be merged and I have forgotten how to do that. Would you be willing to undertake it?
Here's the story: The other user, Dripwoods, created the article Post Fire (2024). Some days later he discovered the pre-existence of Post Fire and posted on its talk page. We agreed the articles should be merged. His article, Post Fire (2024), is much more detailed, so we believe it should be the surviving article. The other article, Post Fire, had some more recent updates, so I have moved that material to Post Fire (2024). I think the information is now in one place. Next step?
IMO the title "Post Fire" should be given to the larger and more complete article, which is currently known as Post Fire (2024). Not sure how to do that. Would "Post Fire (2024)" become a redirect to Post Fire? Sounds messy. Alternatively, we could just delete the lesser article "Post Fire" (maybe first move the talk page discussion to the other talk page?) and then change the name of "Post Fire (2024)" to "Post Fire".
The problem is, I am years away from doing anything like that and am clueless where to begin. So I thought maybe I could (pretty please) get you to do the honors? What do you think on that subject? Do you have time to set this up?
In any case, nice to "see" you again! MelanieN (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @MelanieN: Great to hear from you! I've swapped the two pages (so what was previously "Post Fire (2024)" is now "Post Fire", and vice versa), so the more detailed article's survived. Then I've redirected the new "Post Fire (2024)" to the other article, and added the necessary tags etc. Assuming you've gotten everything you needed to keep into the new article, I think we're all set!
