Rest In Peace to all affected by yesterday's horrific tornadoes edit
I just want to say rest in peace, really to everyone that was affected by the events of yesterday. Although I'm not a christian, God bless. One of the worst outbreaks I have ever tracked, definitely one of the most damaging aswell.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 18:03, 26 April 2021 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:AOCA Foundation edit
Hello, MemeGod27. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "AOCA Foundation".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 17:49, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
Your contributed article, March 31, 2023 Bethel Springs-Adamsville tornado edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, March 31, 2023 Bethel Springs-Adamsville tornado. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ForsythiaJo (talk) 17:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks. I'm still learning the wikipedia ropes, so I'm completely open to SPEDs and such. That tornado really hits home with me (literally) and I guess I went a bit too far with details and such. :P 𝔐𝔢𝔪𝔢𝔊𝔬𝔡27 (talk) 17:53, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there! So the reason I tagged the article for speedy deletion is bc it looks like you just copy pasted portions of Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023 into a new article. Although Wiki content is not protected under copyright, we are supposed to give credit when moving text between articles - for example, in the edit summary you could say "text copied from (article name), see that page for attribution".
- You may be able to argue that this particular tornado deserves its own separate article. If you do want to try to write a separate article on the tornado, I suggest looking for sources that show the effects of the tornado on the area in the long term, and recovery efforts, as the parent article focuses mainly on the tornadoes themselves and the damage they inflicted.
- You could also consider adding info on this tornado to the articles on the affected towns, as those pages might not have many specific details on the event. In any case, best of luck! ForsythiaJo (talk) 18:46, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
Sean Jones (Basketball player) moved to draftspace edit
Thanks for your contributions to Sean Jones (Basketball player). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. JTtheOG (talk) 20:29, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
Unblock edit
{{unblock|I was never given any prior warnings that my content was unfree, and every single one of those images (besides the GLHS logo one I think) were NC? The NWS allows its content to be licensed and used by members of the public (I may be wrong), and aren't ESPN sports roster photos free to use as well? Also if there was any prior warnings then they either didn't send or I just didn't get a notification either through commons or Wikipedia itself, because I was unaware of prior warnings. }} (っ◔◡◔)っHuman Reverting Edits (talk) 02:53, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Women in Red edit
Hi there, MemeGod27, and welcome to Women in Red. It's good to see you intend to help us improve Wikipedia's coverage of women. In this connection, you should find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. As for Yinka Djin, you should try to find at least three informative secondary sources which are not directly connected with the subject. You can let me know when you think your draft has been sufficiently improved. If you would like others to see your interest in our project you can sign up under "New registrations" on Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/New members. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:45, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks! I reread the criteria for new articles and I honestly don't think Yinka Djin is prolific enough to have an article. The Ilona Katkics one is different though, she was on the "Female directors redlinks" page and seems prolific enough. (っ◔◡◔)っHuman Reverting Edits (talk) 15:33, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

March 2024 edit
Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much! United States Man (talk) 17:30, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks :). I had edited and created multiple pages in which the person had randomly reverted. I was assuming good faith, but then I checked his talk page and every single message is from someone wondering why this person has randomly just reverted entire pages. We sorted it out, but they still haven't given me a reason as to why they did this. (っ◔◡◔)っHuman Reverting Edits (talk) 14:11, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Fe229e55710d8eca5b8c0e0343932343 XL.jpg edit
A tag has been placed on File:Fe229e55710d8eca5b8c0e0343932343 XL.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
- state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
- add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

NGC catalogue objects edit
Thanks for adding new content to Wipikedia, but I'm not sure that off the NGC catalogue entries need their own pages - there isn't much to say about them that could be tabulated on a joint page. You might consider pausing on creating them until we get a few more views on this. Klbrain (talk) 14:55, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yea, that makes sense. The one thing with me that would warrant them articles is the images, Putting 1,000 images on a page doesn't seem convienient (and commons is a bit confusing for visitors, including me). And I definetely need to do more research on them (some of them are extremely old and fascinating). I understand quality over quantity, and I'll either up them in quality, and if I can't find any extra info, just delete them or draft them until something is worked out. Thanks :P ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)͡°) (talk) 14:58, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

Tornado fancruft writer edit
Hi, I might be confused but I feel like I have seen your account info on a potential sockpuppet before? They might have been bloating the tornado wiki pages on the March 31, 2023 outbreak page which caused a major hassle for people to fix. HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 03:08, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hey! So I'm gonna assume you are talking about the guy that kept turning the Little Rock tornado into an EF5 and kept copy-pasting random tornado info into the Little Rock info section. (User 2601:481:8400:43C0:535:FCCB:691D:DF36). That wasn't me, and he wasn't even logged in when he did it. If you have any other info on it, feel free to reply, but yea, I'm not a vandal. Thanks :P ( ͡°( ͡° ͜ʖ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ʖ ͡°)͡°) (talk) 14:40, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- Nope! I can tell while you are passionate about this subject you are just a high schooler from Gahanna. I think you need more experience with the wikiformat and learn to exclude unnecessary details (think what is not significant e.g. this tornado has had 120mph winds). HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- What are you even talking about? You clearly enjoy violating WP:NPA, so I'll note that. Being a high schooler means nothing on Wikipedia. "WikiFormat" is also subjective to interpretation, and since you have literally 25 edits (again, nothing personal on that) I have no idea why you are lecturing me. And yes, edit count doesn't really matter. I get that. But I've told you I have nothing to do with that article, and you just keep on trucking, harassing me. Again, you've violated WP:NPA, which is a fundamental rule for behaviors on Wikipedia. Thanks :P MemeGod ._. (talk) 18:09, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry if I seem rude and defensive, I like to respond to all messages in my inbox! I am purely exasperated after trying to fix your messes on the tornado page. You jumped the gun on the April 1st outbreak article draft, and you didn't heed community advice to avoid creating blurbs without entire community-wide consent. I do not want to harass or disturb others but it is necessary when they don't listen to anyone else on discussion pages.
- Also, I would like to note that I have had much experience editing wiki before between the years 2015 and 2019, when I also was a high schooler! Now I have a college degree in meteorology and I think that makes me well versed in editing weather wikipedia! I suggest you also major in atmospheric science or meteorology as I did given your great enthusiasm for such sciences, and learn a bit more about this subject! Cheers!

- To be fair, we used to have people messing around with fake RFAs on April Fool's, so you (MG27) aren't crazy to think it would be OK. But in the last few years, it has really died down - at RFA, and everywhere. There are still fake AFD's, but they've been quarantined at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/April Fools' Day 2024, and to be honest aren't funny any longer either. I'm simultaneously relieved that the lamest jokes aren't around anymore, and disappointed that the clever ones aren't around anymore either. It's a combination of (a) too many people being kind of lame, and (b) too many people being terribly serious. I would not recommend Wikipedia:Requests for Adminship/April Fools' Day 2024 (to be honest it wasn't that funny), but I'd also receommend not feeling too bad about getting reverted. Times have changed, is all. --Floquenbeam (talk) 19:01, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, MemeGod27,
Please stop moving this article around needlessly. It's only a day old and it's been moved to 5 or 6 different page titles, creating unnecessary redirects. Just work on it at this page title and if the "outbreak" goes past today, then another move can be considered. But don't move articles to slightly different page titles on a whim, it can create work for other editors who must clean up after them. Thanks and good luck with the article. Liz Read!

Galaxy template? edit
When you create the new articles for galaxies, do you base the article on a specific "template" article? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 18:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- While I don't have a specific template, I tend to follow a pattern. I do _____ is a ____ in the constellation _____. It is _____ light years from Earth (and then anything unique to the galaxy). MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:04, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also, from my time on Wikipedia, I've learned that things need to be uniform. Look at what I had said and it can in a way apply to all of my NGC articles. I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing, but yeah. Most NGC galaxies are unfortunately extremely similar so that's just how I write them. MemeGod ._. (talk) 19:09, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks. It is just that most (all?) of new galaxy articles had the same errors with the Short description template. I was hoping to find a blank "master" article so I could fix it — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 19:14, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Stop blatently accusing me of ageism/wiki violations. edit
Hi. While I do not know you personally, you keep accusing me of violating WP:NPA when I am referring to general trends I do not like to see. These are merely opinions of mine, which I admit can be strong. But they do not constitute anything that violates WP:NPA. I am getting sick of you falsely calling me out on public forums that aren't even related to your age, gender, identity, etc. Please just stop.
Thank you. Cheers! HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 01:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'll stop, it's just the fact that you call me "just a high schooler" and a "kid" but the second I call you out, you put the blame on me. WP:NPA states that:
- Abusive, defamatory, or derogatory phrases based on race, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religious or political beliefs, disability, ethnicity, nationality, etc. directed against another editor or a group of editors. Disagreement over what constitutes a religion, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability or ethnicity is not a legitimate excuse.
You had stated in a previous message between us: "Nope! You are just a high schooler from Gahanna" which can be seen as derogatory. (This message can be found here, if you just wanted to check it out.)
- Just don't bring someone's age into a reasoning for doing something. Also, we're good now, on common ground. Thanks :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 18:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- I understand it may be taken as derogatory, but I did not mean it that way. I meant that as a sign of your inexperience with editing, after the whole April 2nd debacle and the frustration with so many young editors like User:Lokicat3345 ruining this article. My sincere apologies.
- Cheers! HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 18:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
- It's all good. I'm just glad that we have everything sorted out and I apologize if I took it too harshly. Happy editing, and I hope to work with you often (on Wikipedia of course) :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 22:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, I do apologize again for any pains caused through this conflict. Perhaps you would like to join in me drafting the tornado outbreak today, the one in Nebraska ;)? Cheers! HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 22:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yea, no problem! I've definitely learned my lesson in early-on article creating and realize that this will 100% need to go into draftspace. In the words of the great Hamiltonthemusic, "Cheers"! MemeGod ._. (talk) 22:56, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Also, one more thing, I noticed that you had the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base article listed on your "worked on", I've actually been on or near the base multiple times (the museum is honestly the coolest thing ever). Just wanted to add that, I love the WPAFB. Cheers! MemeGod ._. (talk) 23:08, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I was born in and lived in the WPAFB as a child (this was late-1990s) Later moved to Massachusetts, Michigan and Texas where I currently reside. Have not been to Ohio since I was six unfortunately, but I will update that article's section on the role and operations of the base. HamiltonthesixXmusic (talk) 23:29, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Someone else just made an article about the current outbreak, I am gonna try to intervene but may need some help. Thanks! MemeGod ._. (talk) 23:51, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Alright, so I noticed this discussion and I hope you don't mind me intervening as well. :)
- It's got widespread coverage, so that's a start. Additionally, ya have the newly-ratified Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Tornadoes of XXXX criteria. One of these tornadoes has caused at least one injury, as stated in point 1 of the criteria. Thus, it passes that criteria as well. Finally, you stated that "Also I have no idea why the article was redirected to avoid a PROD (which the reasoning was completely overlooked, had nothing to do with directing but about the event itself)". Redirecting a PROD-tagged article is perfectly acceptable; as it's an alternative to deletion. You are welcome, however, to start a articles for deletion discussion; but the article so far has satisfied my points above. Feel free to ask me for any further concerns or questions! :) ~ Tails Wx (🐾, me!) 00:00, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, MemeGod27,
I have some advice to offer. Please do not PROD or nominate articles for AFD deletion discussions right after they have been created when editors are actively working on the article. It looks like you are trying to make some kind of point which is not a good reason for deletion. In fact, you recommended that this article not being deleted but moved to Draft space which is what actually happened. Plus, if there are editors working on an article, only an hour or so after it has been created, inevitably one will remove the premature PROD tag and then the article can not be PROD'd again. And if you nominate an article for an AFD deleletion discussion that lasts a week, invariably, over the course of a week, the article will undergo extreme changes and it won't be the same article after a week that it was when it was nominated.
So, if you get the urge to tag a newly created article for deletion and there are not obvious problems like copyright violations and BLP violations, please think twicee (or three or four times) before tagging it for deleteion. Please wait until an article isn't being actively edited and make another assessment a few days later. There is no urgency to delete these types of articles and both PRODs and AFDs take at least for a deletion decision so it is not a quick process. Let the article creators and other editors work on an article and they may end up addressing the problems you perceive exist in the article when you got the urge to tag it for deletion. This is just advice that will help you not waste time or aggravate your fellow editors. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 04:44, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey, there were several copyright issues with the main image as well as the fact there are additional ongoing tornadoes. I advised MemeGod27 to help shelve the poorly made article but there might have been an accidental nomination for deletion. Please know that was not our intention, as we just wanted to preserve the high quality that tornado outbreak articles are known for. Sorry for the confusion Liz. Cheers!

Ardmore/Sulphur videos edit
There is only one verified video of the Sulphur tornado, and it's this one. Shows a stout, ugly tornado only illuminated by power flashes and no city lights. https://twitter.com/CameronCW13/status/1784475703007690884?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1784475703007690884%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=
This video is being passed around as Sulphur but has not been verified as such. It looks like Ardmore (explaining below) https://twitter.com/QueenDarbyy/status/1784474310171664716
Ardmore is a larger town and it illuminated the tornado. Sulphur is smaller and power was out at the time of the tornado, and therefore any video of a narrow cone tornado illuminated by city lights, is probably from Ardmore. The photo you shared is more consistent with Ardmore than the one verifiable clip of Sulphur. A lot of videos from Ardmore got spread on social media as Sulphur, and it's creating a mess. When it doubt, throw it out, and I doubt this one more than I can express. TornadoInformation12 (talk) 13:38, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- @User:TornadoInformation12 This is what the Ardmore tornado looked like. While I will say that more than one tornado hit Ardmore, both of them look only slightly similar to Sulphur. See also here. Also, there is no upward lighting in the Sulphur photo, consistent with what you said about power being out (I may be wrong about this). While I get your points, it definitely matches what has been said about the Sulphur tornado. Since us talking usually spirals out of control, I'll try to keep it civil this time. Thanks :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 13:45, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- More than one tornado did NOT hit Ardmore. See this isn't good, you're already confused about what happened last night. There were additional PDS warnings for Ardmore later but nothing was confirmed in the town. You are obviously are relying heavily on social media reports and photos, and that's sure fire way to get confused. There was one path through through the Plainfield Estates subdivision, and that is the only confirmed path in Ardmore at this time. That photo is ONE angle and it looks that way because it's illuminated with a power flash. Literally every other video from Ardmore looks like these below. These are ALL from Ardmore and it isn't up for debate:
https://twitter.com/onlynaders/status/1784421181929427404 https://twitter.com/JeffreyMHough1/status/1784555615013990792 https://twitter.com/StormHQwx/status/1784436631480529041 https://twitter.com/MundoEConflicto/status/1784417481869680713
- Also look what I just found, a video that was being passed around as Sulphur later in the night, clearly labeled and consistent with Ardmore. This is EXACTLY what I'm talking about. We have no way of knowing, and I'm not letting something uncertain like this onto wikipedia:
https://twitter.com/onlynaders/status/1784431755727958322
- Also the Sulphur tornado was large and rain-wrapped, and basically not visible as it moved into the darkened town. If it was, we'd have more than one video of it, and like I said the one video we do have looks nothing like what I shared above I'm not trying to start a back and forth, but I'm telling you right now that you are not going about this the right way, and you're going to get false info published. I know you're probably a kid so I won't blow up, but you need to take the advice of other more experienced editors in moments like this. I've been doing this long enough to no when things aren't adding up and there isn't enough evidence for inclusion. This is one of those times.
TornadoInformation12 (talk) 14:06, 29 April 2024 (UTC)TornadoInformation12
- I literally said that we need to keep it civil
- Violations of WP:NPA do not show your experience in any way
- I may be wrong, and I do understand that. I will have a talk with my friend to see if he is telling the truth or if this is a screengrab. Until then, feel free to do whatever the heck you want with the image. I do agree, with the evidence presented, that it should be removed from the main article. Thanks! :) (Also to clear up confusion, there were multiple signs of a second tornado in Ardmore when I was watching it live, others voiced my same concern, and as of right now it has not been proven or disproven)
- MemeGod ._. (talk) 14:11, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok one more thing and I'll wrap this up. You can't post things that your friends send you. You either have to take the tornado pic yourself, or it has to be from a government source (FEMA, NWS, NOAA, ect). There's a reason why we can't just post photos internet friends send us, and that's because it's a real life case of "source: trust me bro". There's a rule against it because we want to avoid situations where false info gets published for everyone to see. I once submitted a photo of a foundation partially pulled out of the ground by an EF5 in Smithville, MS back in 2011. It was crazy, incredible, and I know exactly where it was taken and can verify it was real. Problem is, it was taken by a friend of a friend, and it got taken down. I wanted published with every fiber of my being, but eventually had accept I couldn't because I didn't take it. Just the way it is, and over time I've come to understand why.

Publishing of Inaccurate/Unverified Info edit
Hey I swear I'm not trying to nit-pick everything you do, but you just published a bunch of inaccurate info in the Sulphur writeup.
1.) While there was debarking in Sulphur, you didn't add a source for it (I will try to find one for you though, because this claim is true).
2.) The claim about branches embedded in concrete is also unsourced, and untrue, and it happened in a different town (Norman, OK) from a weak tornado. The sticks were embedded in stucco, not concrete (https://twitter.com/LiveStormChaser/status/1784425063690727822). Stucco is a styrofoam like substance that is sprayed with a hard layer of fiberglass to make it look like concrete. I can say that as someone who has extensive knowledge of building materials, and have seen this phenomenon in many other tornadoes over the past decade. In the video, you can see the exposed styrofoam on the corner when the camera moves to the other side.
3.) NWS Norman has only confirmed only one CONFIRMED tornado in Sulphur. There is nothing to indicate that there was a second one besides some false reports on social media the night of the event. You can not add or mention a tornado unless it is confirmed by the NWS, period. If they add a second path through Sulphur, then you can go ahead, but I'm telling you right now that they won't.
I know you're trying and still new at this, but you can't be publishing so much stuff that isn't true or properly verified. I'm also concerned that you're just looking at a bunch of photos and social media posts, and writing things based on that. Those are not considered to be reliable sources, and can be only be used as a last resort supplement to officials sources, which are the NWS and the Damage Assessment Toolkit. News media articles can also be used as a secondary source, but not a primary one. You'll get the hang of it, but don't be offended if a lot of your stuff gets changed. I will be fair and try to alter as little as possible, and keep and or find a source for anything that is true and verifiable. TornadoInformation12 (talk) 13:56, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, you're all good. I will admit that tensions in the tornado community were extremely high on the night of April 27th, and I may have been wrong about a second tornado in Sulphur, which is a claim that has been heavily tossed around. I am looking at the ArcGIS damage toolkit, which is where I got the "East Broadway Avenue" info from. Social media-wise, I don't really get my info from there, it's more videos and articles that have been passed around. I'll try to do better about sourced and verified info. Thanks! (Also I know what stucco is) MemeGod ._. (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Cool thanks for understanding. Another important thing is you can't guess the point of highest-rated damage or the basis for the rating of a tornado. You have to wait until the DAT or the NWS officially announces it. Idk if it was you, but I found a claim that the EF4 rating in Marietta, OK was based on a Dollar Tree warehouse. It wasn't, and I have some "insider" info that hasn't been publicly released yet (been doing this a while so I have some connections) that the EF4 rating is going to be based on a destroyed Homeland grocery store that was extremely well-built, confirmed by engineer Tim Marshall. Now even though I know it to be 100% true because of mu sources, I can't publish it right now, because it hasn't been released to the public yet. So I gotta keep it vague per the rules. One the NWS adds the grocery store to the DAT or mentions it in a more detailed survey, we can add that piece of info.
TornadoInformation12 (talk) 15:26, 30 April 2024 (UTC)TornadoInformation12
- That makes perfect sense. Thanks for understanding my side as well. For the Sulphur one, I never mention "EF4" damage because I have quite literally no experience in and no idea what this absolute demon could be rated. I'll try to avoid premature ratings and unconfirmed speculations. Thanks! (Also a tornado outside of Sulphur was confirmed, apparently it hit north of Sulphur, but really didn't hit anything) MemeGod ._. (talk) 15:48, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok correction some stuff got lost in translation. It's based on a combination of the warehouse AND the grocery store (this stuff gets complicated). See even I sometimes get bad info when stuff is this recent. That's why I always try to be cautious and keep it vague until more info is released.

What's this about? Before I cleaned it up just now, it was full of completely unsourced sensationalism. Joke pages are not taken upon kindly here. Please do not create any further such drafts; base any and all information on cited sources please. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:09, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Mk. It's a draft, which is meant to be a prep space for an article. Feel free to delete it, but yeah. Also, it isn't a joke page or "unsourced sensiationalism" the strongest tornado statement was released by the NWS but later retracted, and somehow it was only rated an EF1. Feel free to delete. Thanks :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 23:11, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- You didn't WP:CITE anything and have no proof the NWS said that. If an actual tornado hadn't occurred this would've been speedily deleted as a WP:HOAX.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:13, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- Okay. Again, remove it if you'd like, I am most likely not going to do anything with the article as it was rated extremely low as compared to its radar structure MemeGod ._. (talk) 23:14, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm more concerned that you don't do something like this again. Please take your responsibility to not create WP:HOAX-like content again.--Jasper Deng (talk) 23:18, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Will Talk With Whom I Want edit
You can keep stalking my posts on other talk pages, but I will not stop engaging with other editors to deal with the issues you have created. If you want me to stop, then work on your editing and sourcing skills, take a step back to observe and learn, and do better work. Let me be very clear, I WILL talk about ongoing problems that need fixed with other users, and most of them just so happen to currently involve you. This is nothing new, there's no rule against it, and you are not owed protection from being the topic of conversations you don't like. Until you improve, you are going to have to deal with me conversing with other editors to clean up messes that are left behind. TornadoInformation12 (talk) 18:27, 2 May 2024 (UTC)TornadoInformation12
- Hello. I will do that, but you NEED to stop lecturing me every time I say literally anything. Your "talks" are seen as extremely derogatory and straight-up harassment by me. And per your rationale, I will edit what I want. Whaddya gonna do to stop it? I am currently getting a block set up between the two of us because I just can't talk to you anymore without keeping the conversation extremely toxic. You talk about encyclopedia content, well none of our conversations are productive. For an experienced editor, you really just can't put any blame for anything on you, can you? At least I, the rookie, and taking it up on myself to own up to my actions and get both of us interaction blocked for the sake of the wiki. Thanks for your help, or whatever. I can't even believe I have these kinds of conversations with an editor who has 14,000+ edits. Wow. MemeGod ._. (talk) 18:33, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- There's no basis for interaction bans yet at this stage, and as unpleasant as this was, I actually still have hope for resolution and don't want to bicker with you. Believe it or not, I actually want us to be able to collaborate and be productive together, as I can tell you have the passion and drive to be a very productive tornado article editor at some point. I DO see your potential, and you actually remind me of myself when I joined this site as a kid, which makes me want to help you get to the point where I can "hand over the torch" so to speak, and see you do this 100% on your own. I will own up to when I am going about things the wrong way and being to harsh, and will start by saying I am guilty of that today. On my end, I promise I will not remove your stuff as long as it is largely NWS/DAT sourced, relevant, and encyclopedic in tone. On your end, all I ask is you either hang back on having such an active role in tornado draft/article creation for while, or if you refuse to do that, at least be ok with me reverting or re-writing a lot of your stuff while you are still learning (half of my contributions were removed or changed during my first year or two of editing tornado articles, so I know how it feels). Can we shake on that agreement, and at least try to wipe the slate clean one more time? We actually seemed to be doing ok until you published the Sulphur article. What really set me off is that I explained in detail what sources to use and avoid, and how to summarize damage/EF scale intensity information using those sources. You said "Ok will do", but after reading the Sulphur article, I saw you did all the things I specifically asked you not to do, so I lost it. I felt like I wasn't taken seriously or listened to, so things went off the rails again and I'm sorry, but I do want to give us another shot at working together in a civil manner. I actually want to have a more detailed conversation this weekend about making sure this never happens again. What do you say?

Some advice edit
Hello MemeGod27, thank you for contributing to weather articles here on Wikipedia and helping out, I wanted to give you some pointers to guide you in the right direction:
Please do not create drafts or articles for a tornado outbreaks before they've been proven to be significant events with widespread coverage, proving notability. For example, the draft for Tornado outbreak sequence of April_25–28, 2024 was created during the Nebraska/Iowa portion of the tornado outbreak following the Blair tornado because it was already receiving large-scale coverage from many sources, and it was clearly a major tornado event unfolding. Meanwhile, drafts such as Draft:2024 Hollister tornado and Draft:Tornado outbreak of April 30, 2024 were inappropriate because they did not receive widespread coverage from reliable sources, and didn't sufficiently prove notability for a significant tornado outbreak, or a standalone tornado that warrants an article.
Also, please do not insert data that isn't reliably sourced into the articles. For example, you inserted specific damage ratings for specific buildings on 2024 Sulphur tornado which were not sourced from an official source, such as the Damage Assessment Toolkit or NWS Norman. There is a policy on Wikipedia against personal research and estimates being included in articles, so please do not include them in the articles you write.
It may take multiple days for the full scope of tornado outbreaks to be realized, and if it becomes clear a few days later that a tornado outbreak was a significant, large-scale one that deserves an article, then it can be done then. It does not need to be done before or during based on forecasts, unless its immediately clear that it's significantly notable, as mentioned above. Additionally, it may take multiple months for a tornado's lasting notability to be realized, e.g., through rebuilding efforts, and an article can be created then when it has been proven, and when more info from official sources (NWS and Damage Assessment Toolkit) has come out.
I understand that you may have other worries you need to tend to right now, or that you just want to steer clear of this topic right now, and that's fine. This advice is here whenever you're ready to return to it, or have a bit more time to work on weather articles on Wikipedia. I'm here to help you out, so if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ping me and ask me. Thanks, and hope my advice can help!

- I see that you have retired, so I wanted to say that it's sad to see you go, and I hope you decide to return at some point. I truly believe you were becoming a productive, competent editor that just needed a few pointers in the right direction, for weather articles anyway. Wishing you the best for your future endeavors, ChrisWx 🌀 (talk - contribs) 22:40, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's fine, I just can't do it anymore with the constant harassment .

- Also, I may be back, but if I come back later in the year and the events that went down today happen again, I'm leaving for good. It's insane how a literal encyclopedia can drain someone's morale. Thanks :/ MemeGod ._. (talk) 22:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm glad I could at least help out some, and I understand that. I try to be a bit more understanding with relatively new editors to highlight areas they could improve so they can actually help fix those issues and become competent, constructive editors in the future. I fully understand that statement as well. I'm hoping you do return later in the year as you were clearly passionate about the topic, and I do truly think you can come back and be a very good, productive contributor. I'm sorry this made your morale drain so much, I still believe that you can be a great editor, and were clearly a good-faith, passionate one. ChrisWx 🌀 (talk - contribs) 22:55, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I won't name names because I'm not that kind of person, but I'm hope the community as a whole takes this as a valuable lesson to not murder the newcomers.

I've also directly addressed some of the editors who caused most of this to go down, and I hope they can take away something from this situation. Seeing as I'm still being harassed as we speak, it's gonna be a long while before I'm back. Thanks so, so, sooo much for being an amazing person overall, and probably the friendliest editor I've ever met on here! :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 23:39, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- I have not been super active in the last few days because of jobs and overall just stuff. However, I did take a moment to look over what happened today and I am sorry for all the debate today. In about two weeks (after May 9-10th timeframe), I would be more than willing to sort of mentor you through creating an article if you are up for it. I’ve creating a ton of articles, including four which have reached the status of “Good Article”, with one of those currently in nomination to become a “Featured Article”.
- Taking a Wikibreak is always a good thing. I have actually taken several in the past (some just a few days and one actually a month long).
- Also, if you decide to give Wikipedia another try, there are several tornado-related articles that you can improve without really any interactions with others. An example is List of F4 and EF4 tornadoes, an article which I started back in 2022, is still far from being complete. You could also pick a random Tornadoes of (Year) article. Most if not all of those articles can always be improved. While typing this, I pulled up Tornadoes of 1986, which is actually very bare of information.
- Again, I am willing to help mentor you through an article creation or even just overall editing if you want me to in the future. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 23:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks so much for that. It'll really depend on if I even think I should come back here or not. Seeing the events of today and the way some editors have acted towards me in the past few days, I am most likely not coming back (sadly). If I do? I would love to learn from an actually experienced editor like you! I want to learn, no matter how much it seems like I don't in today's debacle. Sending all the WikiLove right back at you! :D MemeGod ._. (talk) 00:12, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- If it helps any, you can think of Wikipedia oddly enough like a social media platform…Like Twitter (I refuse to say X, even though it is X…lol). Cool and interesting stuff is posted, people debate like it is life and death, everyone forgets about it and moves on with life. One of the best pieces of advice I got from my own mentor (Jason Rees) was back on July 4, 2023, right after I got into a super heated debate with others. To not lose the full affect of it, I will just quote the whole thing as I personally think it also applies to you, just the same as it applied to me last year: “
Hey, I have read through some of the stuff above and would agree with them, that it would be wise for you to take a step back from Wikipedia for a few days and let real life unfold. WHen you are ready I would be willing to informally mentor you as i think you are a productive and passionate editor, who just needs pushing in the right direction.
” (bolding/emphasis my doing) - After that message, I took a break from editing (forget how long exact, but a couple of days at least). After my Wikibreak, I came back to editing and by August 16, just a little over a month later, an article which I wrote reached the status of “Good Article” for the first time.
- Just like I was told, I will tell you the exact same thing: Take a break and if/when you are ready to give it another try, I will be here to guide you through editing. Hopefully this helps cheer you up! Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 00:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I guess that did cheer me up a bit. :) MemeGod ._. (talk) 00:34, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- I do not know if you will decide to come back to Wikipedia ever, but if I was to say one final thing, you can choose to WP:IAD…otherwise known as “ignoring all dramas”. Who cares if someone things you are not a good editor? So what? Back in 2021, I had an editor say straight to my face that I was not competent enough to edit Wikipedia. Did that hurt? Yes (as it was an editor who currently has over 240,000 edits!) and I had a long Wikibreak after it. However, I was determined to prove them wrong. If you feel like others are harassing you, take a break, let the drama die down, and then prove them wrong. Well, if this truly is the last thing you see as a Wikipedia editor, hopefully you can say you at least made a friend while it lasted. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 01:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I've been told that multiple times, including Floquenbean himself. I'm gonna take a break, and if I come back I'll WP:IAD (every day I learn about new policies and essays lol). Thanks! See you on the flip side. MemeGod ._. (talk) 01:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
