Bolding AFD !votes

Hey, when I looked at the page history to see you'd blanked my last message, I noticed this. AFD may not be a vote, but when you cast "keep" !votes anyway, you really should write them in boldface. One of the reasons being that the automatically-generated AFD stats for users can't track your stats as easily: you appear to have edited some 552 AFDs a total of (up to?) 2,272 times, and yet the tool can only recognize 4 !votes you have made, all "keep".

Doing this gives the impression that you are trying to cover whatever patterns might be detected in your edits, as any individual AFD closer will notice, for example, this !vote whose prose text begins "Keep and improve." and count it, but figuring out whether you automatically !vote "keep" regardless of the evidence or arguments in any individual AFD is a lot more difficult. Could you perhaps link to any recent AFD where you !voted "delete" or "redirect"?
