: How to add Google News, Google Books, and Google Scholar search directly in your browser, to search those sites with fewer steps, and less chance of being distracted.One of my hobbies is contributing to Wikipedia, and more so, creating new Wikipedia articles. Citations of reliable sources are key to both good contributions, and new articles, especially in making them stick (not get reverted/deleted).I use Google News to search for citations, and depending on the topic, sometimes Google Books and Google Scholar.Unfortunately, to search Google News, you have to first go to Google News (news.google .com - deliberately unlinked here), upon which you are immediately shown distracting (if not dire) news photos, headlines etc. which present a non-trivial challenge to staying focused.If only there was a way to directly search Google News from your browser search box / address bar (like you can search Wikipedia from your browser).Unfortunately, there is no site-specific search option for Google News (like there is for YouTube, e.g. see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-or-remove-search-engine-firefox#w_add-search-engines) that you can select an add to your browser in one click (enabled by OpenSearch support, link in footer).This is another technology I use for category 2 (defending focus) that I mentioned in my previous post on focus.Steps to add a Google News search option to Firefox:1. open Firefox Preferences ("Firefox" menu, "Preferences" item)2. select "🔍 Search" from the left column3. scroll down to "Search Shortcuts"4. click the "Add" button under the list of search engines which opens a dialog5. enter "Google News" into the Search engine name field (without quotes)6. enter "https://news.google.com/search?q=%s" into the URL field (without quotes)7. enter "gn" into the Keyword field (without quotes)The dialog should look like this:8. click (Add Engine)Now you can go to your address bar, type in "gn " (without the quotes), your news search term or phrase, e.g. "Broken Arrow Skyrace", and press return to directly see search results.Similarly for Google Books, follow the same steps except:5. enter "Google Books" into the Search engine name field (without quotes)6. enter "https://books.google.com/books?q=%s" into the URL field (without quotes)7. enter "gb" into the Keyword field (without quotes)And similarly for Google Scholar:5. enter "Google Scholar" into the Search engine name field (without quotes)6. enter "https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%s" into the URL field (without quotes)7. enter "gs" into the Keyword field (without quotes)Thanks to folks in the #indieweb informal chat who reminded me (when I complained about the distracting Google News home page) of this way to add new site-specific search capabilities to the browser even for sites (or subsites) without explicit OpenSearch support.Looking forward to using these capabilities to more quickly find citations for updating and creating new Wikipedia articles.Previously:* https://tantek.com/2026/158/t2/three-insights-improving-focus* https://tantek.com/2024/287/t2/setup-search-shortcuts-firefoxOpenSearch FYI:* https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/XML/Guides/OpenSearch#focus #Wikipedia #Firefox #GoogleNews #GoogleBooks #GoogleScholar #search #siteSearch #AddSearchEngine #searchEngine #searchEngines #OpenSearch #webSearch #SearchShortcuts #browserTip #FirefoxTip #searchTip

I have seen repetitive wiki edits, repeatedly undoing changes made.I have also seen others build on my edits, sometimes taking a correction I made and expanding upon it, with more citations, more details, or both.Over time I learned various techniques, or patterns for editing, especially for creating new pages, to increase their chances of survival, while also discouraging vandalism or other attacks.

New articles work best when they’re similar to and based on existing well-established articles, no matter how small.I have learned that it is possible to defend the accuracy of an article even if you are outnumbered, by accurately documenting erroneous additions or changes on the article’s :Talk page, along with calm and thorough refutation of those erroneous additions. Doing so makes it much easier to revert any similar changes, and point to the pre-existing analysis on the :Talk page to discourage repetitive edits.Wikipedia has a fascinating set of rules, guidelines, and mechanisms for working in the open, and especially in the context of attacks by all sorts of bad actors, whether griefers, or politicians and businesses scrubbing (or self-promoting) their image.I found this article on Wikipedia’s systems and their resilience particularly inspiring:* https://www.theverge.com/cs/features/717322/wikipedia-attacks-neutrality-history-jimmy-walesI believe every open source project and open standards organization can learn from how Wikipedia works and thrives, especially in the face of antagonists large and small.

lnxw48a1: @bobjonkman Yeah, #deletionists and the #deletion_wars they spark are one reason a lot of people don't contribute to #Wikipedia. I know they prevent a lot of spam and self-promotion, but they may be too aggressive sometimes. otability / significance requirements often boil down to "I haven't heard of it before, so it must not be significant."

bobjonkmanformer: The #Wikipedia #deletionists were the biggest complaint we had during a Q&A session in 2011 with then-Executive Director Sue Gardner. Nothing got changed, a Toronto Wikipedia users chapter was never set up, and shortly afterwards the Wikipedians mailing list was cancelled in favour of (Yahoo or Google) groups. I was never very active on Wikipedia, but after this even less so. https://www.flickr.com/photos/laurelrusswurm/albums/72157650655305999
