White Rock Airport in Dallas, Texas
Apparently there was a location referred to as "White Rock Airport" in East Dallas as recently as 1974. I found it while researching a tornado in Garland and, yes, it is officially referred to in a government (NCEI) source. Storm Events Database entry 10134059 over Dallas County, Texas. According to (what I believe to be) a user-generated type source, it closed in 1974 shortly after this. Not sure where this fits into Wikipedia, or if a better source than these two is needed, as I'm not a frequent editor in the field of aviation, but I thought I'd let you know because White Rock Airport is a red link and it's not at List of airports in Texas, and thought it was fitting given how you seem to have an aviation interest and made the article on the 2015 tornado in Garland.

Hey MemeGod
I would recommend changing your display signature to something a little bit less WP:billboard-y. It feels a bit over the top to me. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 02:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I already have. :) MemeGod chat 13:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry man, but I was actually referring to the current signature. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- How is my current signature billboard-y? Genuine question. MemeGod chat 18:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I’m no expert; but @Kingsmasher678 might be referring to the shadow under your signature. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 18:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- BTW Hurricane Clyde 🌀, I kind of stole your color for my own sig. Sorry! Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Don’t worry @Kingsmasher678; I stole the bold lettering and superscript from @Ponyo’s signature (but used a different color and username). Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 02:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

- Ah, I'll fix it then. Thanks for bringing it up! :) MemeGod chat 18:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- I have to agree in that you probably should change it. It is very difficult for me to read it. I would recommend removing the shadow background. Just modifying your signature to what I am going to display below should be fine: (Example signature: MemeGod chat)

Unofficial summary for the GAN nomination on Tornado outbreak and derecho of April 1–3, 2024
I am not assessing the GAN because I was heavily involved when I was an IP; but I will post an unofficial preliminary summary of what I see for your information; based on the GA criteria; that way you will know what might need to be improved.
- Criteria 1 (Well-written): Seems like it may pass; I don’t see any obvious issues; but I haven’t looked at it in enough detail to say that with certainty.
- Criteria 2 (Verifiability): I don’t see any issues with that category. Everything that I know of is cited.
- Criteria 3 (Broad scope): Would likely pass.
- Criteria 4 (Neutral): Would probably pass.
- Criteria 5 (Stability): Would almost certainly pass.
- Criteria 6 (Pictures): Would likely pass.
Looking at that; and again this is unofficial, and should only be looked at as a general summary. But I see at least 4 of the 6 points passing almost certainly. The only ones I’m a little iffy on are points 1 and 2. But they may be GA level too. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 18:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you! I have some personal issues right now, but I'll be sure to implement your feedback soon. :) MemeGod chat 18:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)
- Whoever does the official GA review will probably tell you what (if anything) needs to be improved. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 18:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

- I am deeply surprised it wasn’t already a featured picture. It was selected as picture of the day way back in the 2000s. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 04:25, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Hi there - While reviewing new pages, I came across the page you created on Artwork at the Pentagon. While an interesting article, right now it appears to be WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH; I'm not seeing any reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss the Pentagon's art displays and/or collections as a group. I see only primary sources on individual artworks and a couple links to secondary sources on individual works (e.g. the 9/11 Memorial). Since you're a fellow New Page Reviewer, I wanted to give you a chance to add secondary sources discussing this topic before I nominate the article for deletion. Thanks and let me know if you have questions or thoughts. (Please ping in replying as I am not watching your talk page.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- Eh, just go ahead. I'm not in the mood to have a rebuttal, and I'm not sure why I made the incomplete list with no set inclusion criteria. It clearly isn't notable, which is my fault. EF5 21:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
The article Artwork at the Pentagon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Fails WP:GNG by being based on WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. (The page creator agrees on lack of notability and declined to contest so I believe this will count as a non-controversial PROD.)
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'll just move it to draftspace and CSD, since that'll make it easier. :) EF5 22:49, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I would highly recommend changing the tornado picture on your user page to a different one; because there is a Commons deletion request on that particular image due to the copyright status. Hurricane Clyde 🌀my talk page! 05:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done, thanks for pointing that out. :) EF5 14:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
Rapid name changes.
Here there,
It would be quite helpful if you could pick a name and stick with it. It is very confusing, as I have known you under all of them and I always think it's a different person at first. While you are a very unique and valuable editor, one piece of advice that I would give would be to settle down into things a little bit more. Stuff like a username is very important to building and maintaining a reputation, and I would like to see you succeed. If you do, I truly believe you will be at least an admin one day.
Kingsmasher678 (talk) 06:15, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you mean by "settling things down". The sole reason I didn't change my username earlier is because the "MemeGod" moniker stuck. It's not that hard to just click on someone's signature and see who they are (and I do list my former names here for that reason). I do thank you for your kind words, though, I do try to do my best. :) EF5 13:08, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
- Scratch that, I've made a promise to myself that I'll retain this username for at least a year. EF5 22:46, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Jarrell Tornado Up Close.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Jarrell Tornado Up Close.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rlandmann (talk) 05:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Late response
Late response, but I saw your(?) deleted mention to me on Talk:Italian campaign of 1796–1797/GA1 in my notifications. I was the author of the notes, and I didn't have page #s in references because I only have epub versions without page #s. I did include the chapter names in all of my references, however, and I think from the information in the notes, they're easy to find and verify. If not, I can look through my ebooks and roughly tell you where they would be (comes after this subject, near middle of the chapter, near beginning, after a map, etc.) but not the exact page #s. Lilyyuuta (talk) 09:33, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, that's fine, thanks for taking the time to respond! Since the GA passed with no issues and I'm aiming for at least A-class, I'll just leave them out for consistency and verifiability, although I 100% trust that what's in the notes is in the source. :) EF5 13:12, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Andover EF3
Not to try to ruin your work, but how does an EF3 qualify for a Wikipedia article? The Clarksville EF3's article was merged back in 2023. CutlassCiera 19:10, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi! This has been a major point of discussion recently for the project, but intensity does not determine notability. This tornado received widespread coverage, and thus warrants an article (a rare case for an EF3, if I must say). The Clarksville deletion discussion was mainly merged because of WP:TOOSOON concerns, although the Andover tornado happened in 2022 and has received substantial coverage since. :) EF5 19:12, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) — Hey Cutlass, I can help explain some as well. The Clarksville EF3 was merged back in not because it would not be notable, but rather because it wasn’t notable. That might seem a little confusing on the wording, so let me explain a little more in depth.
- The Clarksville article (created by me actually) was created mere days after the tornado. One key aspect on the notability guidelines is lasting coverage/lasting impacts. 3 days is not enough time to prove lasting coverage/impacts.
- The Andover tornado, however, occurred over 2 years ago. Just a quick Google search of “2022 Andover tornado” pulled this news article as the top result, which was published May 16, 2024. Aka, the tornado is still relevant enough to get news article related to it even 2 years later.
- Likewise, if I do the same search for “2023 Clarksville tornado”, the most recent news article related to it is from February 4, 2024, less than 2 months after the tornado. That isn’t to say it is not notable, but notability has not been established, even 11 months later, due to no lasting coverage. Who knows, maybe that tornado will be the subject to research published in 3 years which would help give aid to an article on it in the future. But, as of right now, even I would not support an article for the Clarksville tornado due to no lasting coverage.
- The “Lasting Coverage” test is an easy way to tell if a tornado is notable. For me, following the Clarksville tornado article attempt/subsequent deletion discussion, I changed my own personal guidelines. (1) I do not consider any tornado for an article for at least 3 months, which is how long it takes for NOAA to publish finalized damage surveys/reports. (2) The tornado has to either not be apart of an outbreak article or has to have a long section in the outbreak article (“Split” justification). (3) A Google search shows some coverage which could be argued as being Lasting Coverage.
- If all 3 of those points pass, then I start a draft on a tornado article. I do not move it into mainspace until I am happy with it and honestly I think it is GA material. Even some of my GA tornado articles have been challenged for “does this even need to exist”, cough 2022 Pembroke–Black Creek tornado cough. Consensus remained that it passed all the necessary check marks to be a stand-alone article, and you can see the subsequent lasting coverage mentioned in the Aftermath section of the article.
- Hopefully that explains some on why Clarksville does not have an article and this tornado might. If you have any questions for me, do not hesitate to message me! Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 19:27, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- To add, since there was an EC, your reasoning in the Clarksville nomination,
To have its own article, I think a tornado should have to cause 10 or more injuries in three communities and 10 or more deaths in total
also isn't true, as some tornadoes (I'm working on a draft for an EF2 tornado right now that caused no deaths or injuries, but is notable because of coverage) are notable despite killing nobody. The Andover tornado passes all three points set by WeatherWriter above,I can make a table if you'd like. See below. :) EF5 19:30, 19 November 2024 (UTC)- I see, thank you. The main reason for my statement there was because it seemed like there was a unwritten precedent that people would only create articles about tornadoes if they were obviously notable (such as the Tuscaloosa-Birmingham EF4), but since more people are editing tornado articles recently, people are now creating articles on notable topics that might have not been created previously. Thank you for the clarification. CutlassCiera 19:48, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Points | Quotation | Pass? | Fail? | Reasoning |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | I do not consider any tornado for an article for at least 3 months, which is how long it takes for NOAA to publish finalized damage surveys/reports |
Event happened in April 2022, unless I've been living under a rock it's November of 2024, over 2 years later. | ||
2 | The tornado has to either not be apart of an outbreak article or has to have a long section in the outbreak article |
No section to be merged into. Tornadoes of 2022 wouldn't fit, as the article is long enough to have it's own article. | ||
3 | A Google search shows some coverage which could be argued as being Lasting Coverage |
Look up "2022 Andover tornado" on Google and this is the third result, published over 2 years after the tornado. | ||
Overall | Passes all points. |
- I forgot to add one thing, @WeatherWriter: I found free images of the tornado! I'll be uploading the full 5-minute video on Friday, when I can get Video2Commons to work. :) EF5 22:22, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

- EF5 & Cutlass, the chart/process I mentioned above got me thinking. So, to help simplify my thoughts, I made my own flowchart. You can see it here: User:WeatherWriter/Tornado notability. That will hopefully explain everything you both would have questions about, in regards to whether a tornado should have an article or not…at least in my opinion/thought process. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:40, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
- Looks good! It'll be nice to use all these fancy tables when the next season rolls around, yours is very in-depth but straight to the point, which is good. :) EF5 23:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Reverting consecutive edits.
I saw one little edit got through (and later fixed) when you reverted the vandalism at 2011 Super Outbreak. A good way to revert multiple consecutive edits is to simply open up the last clean version of the page, then edit and save. You might also considered getting WP:TWINKLE or a similar toolset. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:29, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, I'll use that from now on. I usually do what I call a "poor man's rollback", where you just edit an older revision and add one space somewhere, which effectively reverts all the vandalism in one click. :) EF5 00:58, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
Are you into military history by chance?
Hey EF5 (amazing name by the way), I happened to notice last month that you created Italian campaign of 1796–1797 when I saw you pass a GAN on it! Congratulations on that! Besides some of the weather articles I edit/have created, I also edit a good amount in the realm of military history. Well anyway, I noticed a problem and I have decided to start the process to fix it. There are two articles, which currently exist in extremely bad shape, that I am going to TNT and combine into a new article. List of foreign military attacks on United States territory & Attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities are those two articles. Both relate to "attacks on the United States", which somehow is a redirect currently to the foreign military attacks pitiful article...which has I kid you not 1 reference...
The shear fact an article about "attacks on the United States" doesn't actually exist in 2024 shocks me. So, with that being said, I have started Draft:Attacks on the United States, which will take a long time to make (probably a month or two to make it good), where I am making the table of attacks along with a summary/details of those attacks. I have no idea how into military history you are, but you are more than welcome to help out with creating summaries and/or adding references for some of the information. So, feel free to help out if you have any interest. I am not rushing the creation of this article since I want to make it extremely good before moving it into mainspace. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 04:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, I'd be glad! I'm running out of tornadoes to write about (the tornado sections have kinda screwed me over). I'll work on it today. :) EF5 13:02, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @WeatherWriter: Does this list include mass shootings and/or terrorist incidents? "Attacks" is a loosely defined word. EF5 13:46, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yes/No. Yeah, attacks is loosely defined. My intent for the list was attacks directed at the US government/military. So things like 9/11, along with something like the Boston Marathon bombing (due to the motive), but something like the Parkland high school shooting, which has no connection to the “United States” besides occurring in the US would not be on the list. The list is primarily for military attacks on the US, which typically include most of the terrorist attacks on diplomatic buildings and such.

The cave articles are in generally terrible shape. I'm embarking on a quest to rewrite several/most of them, but I thought that Shanjuan Cave might interest you. It should have enough coverage for a GA.

Other tornadoes
Hello. Unless there is some relationship between storms (such as locale, or part of the same outbreak) there is no reason to mention them in other articles. There are many such storms in central North America and we cannot mention them all. Kablammo (talk) 14:34, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- Per WP:SEEALSO,
readers to explore tangentially related topics; however, articles linked should be related to the topic of the article or be in the same defining category. For example, the article on Jesus might include a link to List of people claimed to be Jesus because it is related to the subject but not otherwise linked in the article. The article on Tacos might include Fajita as another example of Mexican cuisine
. Both links fell within the "same defining category" of violent tornadoes. The Chandler EF5 hit Minnesota. The Wayne tornado caused a similar amount of injuries and fatalities. EF5 14:38, 24 November 2024 (UTC)- Placing them in the same category will accomplish that objective. Kablammo (talk) 17:26, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
