@Voorts Would you consider reviewing the above mentioned article for GA status? I know you well, as Tim is a great friend of mine, and I have closely observed your contributions here. Additionally, I see you are currently ranked second in the WikiCup based on points scored. I look forward to your response and hope we can collaborate soon. Keep up the good work. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 05:59, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi @MSincccc. Thanks for the kind words, and I would be happy to collaborate if there's a topic where we have a mutual interest. Regarding your request, I've reviewed your contributions to the article, and given that your authorship is only 2.5%, I consider this to be a drive-by nomination. Consequently, I will be removing the nomination. I see that you've started a discussion on the article talk page. I recommend notifying the other top editors of the article of the discussion on their talk pages and obtaining a consensus for nominating for GA. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 18:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually, I see that the other top editors haven't edited in a month or longer. I will restore the nomination. I can't guarantee that I will have time to review it. voorts (talk/contributions) 18:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The primary author of the mentioned article attained their authorship through running a bot, unlike mine which I gained solely through manual editing. Additionally, the next three top authors are currently inactive on English Wikipedia as a whole and have not edited the article in a long time. As the fifth highest author and having made the second most edits to the article, along with regularly editing it and being familiar with its content and references, I fail to see how you could consider my contributions as a drive-by in the first place. Regards and yours faithfully, MSincccc (talk) 07:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Are there any articles currently on which we could collaborate to achieve FA status? This would be mutually beneficial and could potentially boost your already impressive WikiCup campaign. Regards MSincccc (talk) 08:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Nope, I don't have anything right now. If you can think of something that might interest me, let me know and I'll think about it. I reverted your edits to Draft:Addie Viola Smith per WP:WHENINROME; removing spaces from citation templates makes them harder to read/edit in wikitext and you also removed some wikilinks to journals and the via parameters, which I find useful. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't think that draft would be good for a collab because I've already read all of the sources and just need to bang out the writing, which should take me about another day. I suggested to Tim that we collaborate on Well he would, wouldn't he? because it intersected his interest in British history and my interest in law. What are your interests? As you can see, I tend to write about law and pop culture (mostly albums) on wiki. voorts (talk/contributions) 21:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm open to collaborating on any topic you suggest. As a middle schooler, I prefer articles that do not contain mature content. Let me know your ideas! Regards. MSincccc (talk) 08:26, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Closure request
Thanks for closing some of the discussions on WP:CR. Can you also consider re-closing Talk:SpaceX_Starship? It was improperly closed by a new user and I do not know if they have proper rationale for the closure. I tried to revert the closure, but have been challenged and don't want to fall into 3RR territory. Natg 19 (talk) 17:37, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I recommend discussing with the user on their talk page. The issue isn't the experience of the closer, but the rationale for the close. An RfC shouldn't be shut down just because a conversation is uncivil; those concerns can be taken elsewhere (e.g., AN or AN/I). If the closer declines to overturn, you can bring it to WP:AN for a close review. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:59, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. The closer was actually not the one who contested the closure, but a different editor. I might bring this to a closure review if it keeps getting edit warred (currently it was reopened). Natg 19 (talk) 18:25, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

April thanks
Thank you for improving the project's quality in April! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you Gerda! I hope you're having a lovely spring. voorts (talk/contributions) 17:16, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I took images of a flock of sheep a week ago that I met by chance on the 300th birthday of cantata Du Hirte Israel, höre, BWV 104. But today, there was snow. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
