redirects[edit]
hi. i have made a lot of redirects before, but this is the first time i have been asked to do cats on them. is that for all redirects? Iljhgtn (talk) 23:10, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Iljhgtn. Yes, every redirect should be categorized per WP:REDCAT. Since you create a lot of redirects, you might be interested in this script that makes redirecting a lot easier. voorts (talk/contributions) 23:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
I just wanted to inform you that I have addressed your FAC comments. — 🌙Eclipse (talk) (contribs) 13:50, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

We'll also provide sandwiches for everyone, and maybe some NYC pizza too, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia.

Hi voorts,
Thank you for taking the time to analyze and close the long-overdue WP:Articles for deletion/1905 (film). As you correctly noted in your closing note, this was certainly not an uncontroversial AfD, which means that per WP:NACD, it is best left for an admin to close. There's a fair chance an admin will close it the same way you did, but since both Delete and Merge are viable potential outcomes here, being closed by someone who can implement any of those outcomes will eliminate any appearance that the close was even partly dictated by the tools you have on hand. Personally, I find all but one of the Keep !votes to be exceptionally weak, with some of their "source analysis" being self-serving and dishonest. But of course, I'm involved. I hope you understand, and revert your close to leave this for an admin. Feel free to ping any of the regular AfD closers, so that this doesn't sit there for another two weeks...Thank you!
