tags on redirects
Aloha voorts, you made a message on my talk page about tagging redirects and I think you also tagged some of my redirects, so thank you for that. I noticed that there are a lot of automated gadgets on Wikipedia. Is there one for tagging redirects?  Coop  (talk) 22:12, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Howdy Coop. There are several gadgets. I just started using User:Eejit43/scripts/redirect-helper, but before that I was using Twinkle. Best, voorts (talk/contributions) 01:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Looks great. I've installed it, thank you!  Coop  (talk) 03:20, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Editor of the Week
Hey man in josh submitted the following nomination for Editor of the Week:
 * I nominate Voorts to be Editor of the Week for their exemplary content work. Since October of '23, they have worked to promote Running Out of Time (song),  Well he would, wouldn't he?,  Cora Agnes Benneson, as well as a number of other articles to featured and good article status. This is no small feat for someone who has been editing for less than a year, but Editor Voorts dove in and has done exceptionally well in a short time. In addition to his excellent content work, he has also been quickly taking to internal processes like new page patrol. I have a feeling this is only the beginning of a long and barnstar-studded on-wiki career. Seconded by Eddie891 and  TechnoSquirrel69

Please have a look at this AfD closure
Please have a look at this AfD closure. For me it was wrong closure as each of KEEP & DELETE got 3 votes excluding the nomination. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Twinkle. Deletion discussions are not a vote. Consensus is established not by numbers, but by strength of argument. I believe that I correctly assessed the consensus in this case.In my view, the editors advocating to keep the article referred to specific sourcing that meets GNG and explained why the article subject has received sustained coverage over the course of several years.There were three editors in favor of deletion. One of those editors acknowledged that she marginally satisfies the WP:GNG. One delete !vote believed that she had not received sustained coverage and that The available coverage is limited in depth, often focusing on her arrest for hate speech or her association with notable figures, rather than any significant achievements or unique contributions. The latter point was effectively rebutted by other editors who pointed out that notability is not derived from achievements or contributions, but from how a person is covered in reliable sources. Finally, I did not find your delete !vote to be particularly strong since you merely stated that you were not in favor of keeping the article without explaining why. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:07, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Please re-open the AfD for better consensus right now. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't believe that relisting this discussion will lead to a better consensus or different outcome, and you haven't given me sufficient reason to believe I've evaluated consensus incorrectly. Please feel free to take this to WP:DRV. voorts (talk/contributions) 20:02, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
