OTD staging area

I noticed that when you added an entry for 2015 Garland tornado to Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/December 26, you removed Governor's Body Guard of Light Horse without moving it to the staging area. Per WP:OTD, entries should be rotated out to the staging area rather than removed entirely (unless they're fundamentally unsuitable for the day). I've already fixed this; just letting you know for the future. Good work on that GA, by the way! jlwoodwa (talk) 15:23, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Ah, okay, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, I have about ~seven more over at GAN, with that number increasing practically daily! :) EF5 16:20, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Haha, I guess I noticed it way too late, I may have already sent that template to five others without realizing the glitch. :) EF5 19:19, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

How did you get into weather

Did you survive a tornado/derecho/hurricane/nor'easter or something like I did, or did you get into weather by hearing about those kinds of things? ApteryxRainWing🐉 | Roar with me!!! | My contributions 21:41, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've always been interested in weather, but got caught up in the Tornado outbreak of March 31 – April 1, 2023 (an EF3 torndo killed nine people some miles away from where I was that night) which really got me interested. What about you? EF5 21:43, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
@EF5 It started with Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers, but I really fell down the rabbit hole with the 2022 cold front. My obsession got even worse with the June 15, 2023 tornado outbreak (I was in Point Place, Ohio for the EF2, this was the same outbreak that caused the Perryton, TX tornado) and I had my first real storm chase last May, although it was a slight-risk and a total bust, unless you are one who likes supercell structure. I hope to see a fully-condensed tornado in the 2025 season, since the Point Place EF2 was one of those pathetic dust swirls that got lucky and knocked over a medical office.

Quick Questions

At the article request page for WikiProject Weather they wanted a list of tornadoes that hit Moore, Oklahoma. Since I have a lot of free time tomorrow, I'm going to make the article (the draft is already made, but I only wrote the first sentence) and I had a question. Should I make the article comprehensive, and talk about every single tornado that got close to the city, even the little EF0 dust whirls, or just stick with 1999, 2013, and a couple of the EF3s that clipped the city over the years? Also, should I include El Reno 2013? I'm like 80% sure Moore was in the TOR-E for El Reno 2013, so maybe it would count even though it dissipated by the time it made it to Moore Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 20:23, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Since Moore hasn't been hit by that many tornadoes, I'd recommend including everything. I wouldn't include El Reno, Moore isn't ever mentioned in it's tornado summary. :) EF5 20:25, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Well, I'm pretty sure most cities (aside from Chicago, if we count its western suburbs) don't take 16 hits in 130 years. Anyways, thank you. I'll get to work on the article tomorrow and I'll leave you a message here when it's time for AfC, I liked how you analyzed the article for the 2019 Dayton tornado. Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 20:33, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! AFC reviewing is really fun, you can see a whole variety of things before they're published. EF5 21:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
There is no need to publish an article just for "Moore" tornadoes, since List of tornadoes in Cleveland County, Oklahoma exists. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:05, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Gonna have to disagree, or at least move "Cleveland county" to Moore. Satisfies NLIST. EF5 21:06, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Cleveland County includes Norman, Oklahoma hits and a few others. Respectfully, Moore hasn't been hit enough to warrant a split out from the county article, which has a lead indicating Moore (a city in the county) gets hit the most out of anywhere on Earth. If a Moore-specific list does appear, I will probably call for a community decision to see if it does warrant a split out from the county-level article, which was made back in 2022. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
As for the Cleveland county article, look at the map included in the article. There's all this crazy shit happening over moore, and what else is there? a few EF1s and EF2s? I don't think those two EF4s outside of moore warrant a separate article. I propose two things
  1. Make the Moore article and merge Cleveland County into it
  2. Delete the Cleveland County article and add those two EF4s into the Tornadoes of Oklahoma article I plan to make soon
Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 21:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I will be opposed to anything that removes the Cleveland County list. Basically, a Moore-specific list is not needed on Wikipedia in my opinion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I don't know, Moore specifically has been walloped a few times, and two of the most legendary tornadoes in the world have happened there. I agree with @EF5, once I make the article and run it through AFC, I'll start a merge request or something Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 21:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
The National Weather Service doesn't keep a list of every tornado to hit Moore, but rather a list of every tornado to hit Cleveland County, which includes all four of the big Moore tornadoes. Creating a Moore specific list, in my opinion, would be a content-fork from county list article. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:21, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Why don't we make a List of tornadoes to strike Oklahoma and merge Cleveland county and whatever work is done on the Moore draft into it. We have articles listing the tornadoes to hit ohio, and it seems silly that there isn't an article listing the tornadoes that struck the tornado capital of the universe Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 21:24, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Due to how many tornadoes hit Oklahoma (i.e. 116 in 2024 alone), the article List of Oklahoma tornadoes would need to be split up into a couple of county-specific articles. Basically, the "List of Oklahoma tornadoes" should be made, but due to the number and impending article size, the Cleveland County article would still remain. This is like creating the 2021 Western Kentucky tornado article before creating the Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021 if that makes sense. Both articles are needed, just the child article got created before the parent article. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 21:27, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I moved my draft of Moore tornadoes to List of Oklahoma tornadoes and I'll start writing it tomorrow. I'll add the list of Cleveland County tornadoes in the See Also section, and I'll just talk about the 1999 and 2013 EF5s i guess Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 21:29, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's kind of too late, I already moved the draft and changed the links that led to it. Maybe we can come back to the Moore idea after we take care of the rest of Oklahoma first Apteryx!🐉 | Roar with me!!! 🗨🐲 21:59, 18 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

1925 Tri-State Tornado

Shouldn't the page be uppercased? See the n-grams at the ongoing RM. Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Randy Kryn (talk) 02:33, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Per generally accepted naming conventions, it shouldn't. See User:WeatherWriter#Stand-alone tornado articles and tell me how many have the uppercased "tornado". :) EF5 13:33, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
By n-grams it should be though, probably because of the proper name status of the most deadly tornado (or as suggested at the RM, 'Great Tornado of 1925' or something). In any "case" (see what I did there), the lowercase-crew attempting to tri-state Tri-State reaches a new low (well, maybe not, but is at least a competitor). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Oh, Tri-State should 100% be uppercased. EF5 13:44, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
Doesn't mean that they won't come to lowercase in force and fury (a bad pun but applicable). Randy Kryn (talk) 13:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

About Draft:List of Oklahoma tornadoes

I've been going back and forth on what to include in the draft for the list of Oklahoma tornadoes and I settled on including everything that made it into Category:Tornadoes in Oklahoma along with anything else interesting I can dig up. From the get-go, there was zero chance I was going to list all 4,200 tornadoes that have touched down since 1950, so I tried the ones that caused fatalities, but it was still too much so I wonder what you think about including everything in Category:Tornadoes in Oklahoma instead. Since every tornado and outbreak in that category has already passed WP:NOTABILITY, I can just lift the information and sources from all those articles and organize them chronologically, making my job easier and making the AFC reviewer's job easier as well.
