[[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy]], I'm a little alarmed at how quickly you're adding redirects to Electowiki. Many of them seem difficult to defend (e.g. I'm pretty skeptical about "[[CL]]"). Could you avoid adding initialisms that aren't somehow described in the prose of the text of the redirect target? -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 00:56, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
: I can reduce the number of redirects I add, and would also invite you to be more vocal when you find a redirect to be a bit odd. I think CL was a pretty reasonable redirect though, given that Wikipedia's article on the Condorcet loser criterion uses the initialism "CLC" for it, and several hits on Google showed academic articles abbreviating Condorcet loser as CL.

: I went through the WP policy on redirects, and I wasn't able to figure out exactly what you're taking issue with, other than the initialisms thing. For the sake of clarity, and to avoid problems down the road, can you give me some more examples or a general outline of what redirects I've made that you disagree with? Some of the initialism redirects I've made that may not be too obvious just by looking at them, I added because I've seen discussions in other forums where those initialisms were used i.e. [[SSQ]] is used on forum.electionscience.org, as can be seen in [[https://forum.electionscience.org/search?q=SSQ]].
