F5 as maximum possible rating

I request your input on wording tornado events as F5 as rated maximum possible, specifically Tri-State Tornado with discussion at Talk:Tri-State Tornado. If you don't wish to do so, that's fine, I'm just looking for relatively knowledgeable and interested people to render their input. Evolauxia 02:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms

I just wanted to let you know that the very brief article you started Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms, was replaced (by another user) with copyrighted text from another website. As a result, it has been tagged for deletion, and might be deleted by the time you read this. If you would like to rewrite the article with brilliant prose, feel free to. Thanks!--Esprit15d 21:05, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Tri Monitor

And here I thought I was the only one with that many monitors. ;p I'm thinking about getting another one, so it might be time to make a new template. --Disavian 13:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

University of Oklahoma article

Thanks for the changes you've made to the OU article. I've been trying to rewrite the bulk of the article over the last 2 weeks in preparation for peer review with the eventual goal of getting it featured. If you have any suggestions, please go here and leave them under the section where I have the request for review by the WikiProject team. Thanks again for your help.--Nmajdan 18:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. Pictures from atop Sarkey's would be great. Any pictures you can take of OU and Norman would be appreciated. Here are a lot of my pictures. Hopefully, we can get some more uploaded here.--Nmajdan 20:50, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:National Weather Center Logo.gif

The file File:National Weather Center Logo.gif has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused logo with no article used.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
