Updating Weather of 2021 Timeline

This outbreak will probably have a few entries placed on the Weather of 2021 timeline, so as information comes out, feel free to update the timeline as long as parts pass the weather by year timeline criteria. Elijahandskip (talk) 06:37, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Mayfield Consumer Products

The candle factory that was destroyed in Mayfield was known as Mayfield Consumer Products. With reliable references, this should be included in the article - and may be notable enough for its own article. Juneau Mike (talk) 13:48, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Indiana section

Is it possible to add a section regarding damages in Indiana? Some sources included are:[1] Severestorm28 (talk) 16:56, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I have added a RefIdeas template to the top of the talk page in case you or anyone else finds more sources that can be used. --Super Goku V (talk) 18:03, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Possible vandalism

There were 32 tornadoes, only 5 are on the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:248:681:25A0:0:0:0:490E (talk) 18:35, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

That's not vandalism. There are 32 preliminary reports, which is not the same as confirmed tornadoes. Since there were long-track tornadoes, some of them most certainly have multiple reports. We have to wait on detailed damage surveys to determine exactly how many tornadoes there were. TornadoLGS (talk) 19:08, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Sources

Can we find a source for the Bowling Green “EF3+” tornado? I haven’t seen any tornado related PNS reports or other confirmations from the NWS Mathguy Michael (talk) 16:37, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

I’m just going to let you people have your way with adding unreferenced information to keep my stress low. Mathguy Michael (talk) 16:54, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Maybe there is a misunderstanding or poor sourcing in the article, but it seems that it a EF3 tornado to my understanding. --Super Goku V (talk) 19:15, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021 → Quad-State tornado outbreak – This outbreak will not be commonly known in the future as the "Tornado Outbreak of December 10-11, 2021", but rather by the remarkable Quad-State tornado. The Tri-State tornado outbreak is not known as the "Tornado outbreak of March 18, 1925, but rather by the extremely notable Tri-State tornado. We might as well have this discussion now as it is bound to come up in the future if we don't. Clear case where a rename is inline with WP:COMMONNAME playing a part.

can you symbolize that the Illinois EF3 killed 2 people by adding the “2 deaths” at the front of it 67.82.182.94 (talk) 23:17, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

 Not done – Per recent reports, there were six fatalities in the Amazon warehouse. United States Man (talk) 23:36, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Not Unusual! Rare!

It is not unusual but rare. Be honest! It doesn't require much research and attention to know that storms like this occasionally happen before, during, and especially end months of Spring 75.106.228.203 (talk) 08:44, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Is there a specific line that you are requesting to be altered or changed? --Super Goku V (talk) 23:35, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Possible world record length but it's December is definitely unusual. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 01:37, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Midwestern snow impact

Before the tornado outbreak, I began a draft article, Draft:Mid-December 2021 North American winter storm, which is the snow storm that technically began prior to the tornado outbreak. Should we still include the snow information on the tornado outbreak page, or move it over to the draft and publish the draft? Elijahandskip (talk) 23:37, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

What is significant about the snow? Does that even need an article? United States Man (talk) 23:39, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
Unknown, hence why it is in the draft state. the weather channel named it on Dec 9, which is when the impacts started across ten states. The question is sort of complicated, because having the snow (aka the winter storm) in the article implies that the article really should be “Dec 9–11” but the titling of that would be weird since no tornadoes occurred on Dec 9. Elijahandskip (talk) 00:03, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
The snow can be mentioned but it's not gonna hijack the article. The weather channel names are irrelevant for notability. They'd name a snow flurry for ratings. United States Man (talk) 00:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
But then the title of the article is 100% wrong, which is a problem. Elijahandskip (talk) 00:11, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
May I ask why in the world we have a separate article for impacts that can fit in this one? "Technically correct titles" make for confusing the reader and getting away from the articles initial intention. What is going to remembered is that tornadoes killed around 100 people, not that snow caused snow emergencies in Minneapolis and St. Paul, which happens CONSTANTLY in the winter there. We don't need another article. Heck, if anything, those impacts should go into the winter impacts article and not here, but that may be a little much. Not every tornado outbreak article needs a long, drawn-out section of snow impacts that won't even be remembered a week from now. Just saying.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 01:31, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I will say this though. The Weather Channel has a certain criteria for naming winter storms and this is the VERY FIRST ONE THEY NAMED. They don't name snow flurries, so don't say it like you watch it and automatically know. Please look up their criteria before just spewing nonsense. I get tired of hearing this.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 01:33, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I don't think the winter storm having a different date span from the tornado outbreak is an issue, since that is of secondary importance. If you want to go by analogy, articles on tropical cyclones still discuss a system's precursor and remnants, even though they are before the official formation and after dissipation respectively. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Track distance 240 km or mi

In the lead paragraph, the tracking distance was 240 mi ("... the tornado family—identified by some media outlets ... may have cut a path of up to 250 miles (400 km) across the affected areas ..." whereas in the table, 240 km. Do these refer to separate entities; the supercell or just that single tornado funnel? Information seems to contradict the article itself and some references (possibly due to lack of clarity or my limited understanding on these storms). --Dora the Axe-plorer (explore the morgue) 02:16, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

The tornado family tracked 250 miles; one of the tornadoes FROM the tornado family tracked 240 km. It is confusing I will admit.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:22, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
@Dora the Axe-plorer: The lead refers to a tornado family i.e. multiple tornadoes spawned in succession by one storm cell. The table entry refers to a single tornado. Exactly where tornadoes formed and dissipated within this family has yet to be determined. It doesn't help that news media usually fail to make this kind of distinction. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:23, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing the confusion.--Dora the Axe-plorer (explore the morgue) 02:24, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Current death toll for Mayfield, KY tornado

What is the current (not estimated) death toll for the Mayfield, Kentucky tornado? I'm adding into the map on the main page and need an actual number.02:00, 12 December 2021 (UTC)ChessEric (talk · contribs)

Your guess is as good as mine. If we're going by the 35 we have on this page, it is currently 11 (Muhlenberg County). United States Man (talk) 02:04, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Okay. Thanks.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Wait; are all 35 by tornadoes?ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:11, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Also, I'm confused. Did the tornado that killed two in Arkansas kill three or four in Tennessee?ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:13, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
That I do not know. I assumed people were putting only tornadic fatalities in the table and infobox. United States Man (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I think there's only been three in Tennessee. United States Man (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
(edit conflict) I'm also getting some conflicting info on whether the Bowling Green tornado killed 11 or 12. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:18, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

@United States Man: I see of the problems. I don't think there has been a death in Shelby County...at least not a confirmed one based on the sources.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:20, 12 December 2021 (UTC) EDIT: Ummmmmmmmmmmm...never mind. I guess you found it. LOL!ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:23, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

(edit conflict) See here. United States Man (talk) 02:24, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Soooooooooo...does that make it 6 fatalities from that tornado?ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:26, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
A quick look at a map shows that Shelby County is Memphis and was not in the path of that tornado (but I already knew that without the map lol). United States Man (talk) 02:28, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Okay, sorry. LOL! XDChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:28, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
@TornadoLGS and United States Man: Can we put the death toll for the Mayfield, KY tornado as 11+ while putting that it is estimated to be 70 in the tornado description? That would make it less confusing.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:32, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Perhaps "11+ confirmed (70 est)". TornadoLGS (talk) 02:38, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
If you want something else confusing, Bowling Green has 7 deaths per NWS. United States Man (talk) 02:40, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Just like the chaotic good old days. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:45, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Ugh, my brain is fried. If I made a mistake on the tornado death map on the main page, blame it on mother nature, not me.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 02:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Mid-December 2021 North American winter storm into Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021

Merged, per consensus. Honestly, a second article for the same storm was never needed. If the winter storm impacts were notable enough, then a hybrid title could be used, similar to Tornado outbreak and blizzard of April 13–15, 2018 (Winter Storm Xanto). That isn't the case here, so the current title suffices. We should not have two separate articles for the same storm. Closing, per WP:SNOW. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 13:06, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The winter weather aspects of this storm are of questionable notability. Having them in a separate article from the tornado outbreak produced by the same system creates an unnecessary content fork. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

It was created before this one... Elijahandskip (talk) 01:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Page history says it was created at 00:27, 12 December 2021‎. A draft doesn't count. United States Man (talk) 02:02, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
In my mind, a draft that has been listed to other places (besides a user/talk page) does count. Either way, I am ok merging. But please stop the aggression. Elijahandskip (talk) 02:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
See my comment in the section above. I don't think that's an issue. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:53, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
The page will be merged and all content from Dec. 9 on will be included, regardless of the name of this page. United States Man (talk) 02:02, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Redirect

Do you think that “Quad-State Tornado” could be a redirect to the article? EmilyS1234 (talk) 14:37, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Isn't it kinda early for a redirect? On one hand it's good to mention it in the article, but on the one hand, its not been confirmed that its a single tornado.--Halls4521 (talk) 14:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
There apparently already is one: Quad State tornado. United States Man (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

How to classify Dawson Springs deaths by county?

In the table by county, it lists 11 deaths for Hopkins County, citing 11 deaths in Dawson Springs; however, the city is located in 2 counties (Hopkins and Caldwell), and to complicate the matter, this article states 4 deaths in Caldwell County and also mentions a Dawson Road. What do you guys think? Skarmory (talk • contribs) 17:21, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

I'd say 4 in Caldwell and 7 in Hopkins until additional information is provided. CrazyC83 (talk) 18:37, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Sections for notable tornadoes

Should some of the notable tornadoes (5+ deaths) have sections? 108.170.65.170 (talk) 21:56, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

When enough information is gathered to fill sections, they will be created with time. The short path length of the Edwardsville tornado is working against it; it can likely be effectively summarized in the table. United States Man (talk) 22:17, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Transclude tornado table to monthly list?

This thought has occurred to me with previous outbreaks, but would it be a good idea to transclude the tornado list in this article to List of United States tornadoes from October to December 2021? I know @United States Man: put a link in the list because, well, things are chaotic enough that keeping two tables updated consistently is a real headache. But I thought that we might, instead, transclude the tables from this article. It saves us the redundant task of making the same updates to two pages. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:58, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

That also prevents the lists from having different content. United States Man (talk) 03:00, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
(edit conflict) I have an even better idea. Why don't we do this for ALL articles (excluding outbreak sequences). I get tired of having to update two articles and fixing refs for the same stinkin' time period.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 03:01, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
That's the idea. United States Man (talk) 03:05, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I transcluded them but both tables come over for each section now? United States Man (talk) 03:12, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Lemme try something. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:12, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Looks like it worked. Only issue being the sections don't link back to this article. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:17, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Template:Excerpt is likely what you are looking for. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:56, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
I tried implementing this and it failed. Turns out there were some tags on this article causing trouble for me on the other page. (However, there is another issue noted below that requires a different solution anyways.) --Super Goku V (talk) 22:47, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
@Super Goku V and TornadoLGS: That works perfectly except that Template:Coord is blacklisted from being transcluded at Module:Excerpt/config, so now the coords won't show up. United States Man (talk) 14:49, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Well, that is a problem, but thankfully not a big one as Template:Transcluded section also exists. --Super Goku V (talk) 22:47, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Ah, looks like everything has already been resolved anyways. Thank you.  :) --Super Goku V (talk) 22:52, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

The mayfield tornado should be a ef4 instead of a ef3

Pease take a look at the videos for damage 174.250.18.6 (talk) 03:09, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

We cannot rate tornadoes based on our own assessment as that would violate the policy of no original research. We have to wait for an NWS rating. It's early yet, so everything is preliminary anyway. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:11, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...no.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 04:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Is there another way besides the NWS? Only thing I can think of is news sources, which might not be as accurate. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
The news gets their ratings to report from the NWS. United States Man (talk) 13:54, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Yup, 'cause the NWS is the ONLY one with "Official" authority to rate the strength of Tornadoes, based on the surveys done on the tornado damage (which right now are still Preliminary and not finalized yet), which now a days take into account how strong and stable the structures were built. Again. ratings are based on expert damage assessments and damage survey data, not how to looks on video.--Halls4521 (talk) 14:50, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
@Super Goku V: In some cases we may mention rating disputes if they are from a sufficiently reliable source (i.e. real experts and not armchair meteorologists on the internet), but even then, the rating we put on the table is the official NWS rating. It is a preliminary rating, and a special assessment is usually required for anything higher than EF3 (see page 6 of this NWS document). TornadoLGS (talk) 19:28, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
Gotcha. That sounds reasonable to me. --Super Goku V (talk) 22:53, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Need to change November to December.

"A tornado touched down near Bowling Green and approached downtown around 1:19 a.m. CST on November 11; the EF3 tornado developed on the back edge of a supercell spun off of a line of strong to severe thunderstorms over western Tennessee late in the evening of November 10. The overnight tornado's approach was noticed during long-form severe weather coverage on ABC/Fox affiliate WBKO; the station's tower camera, which was pointed toward the western sections of Bowling Green, captured a massive power failure in that part of the city as several transmission lines were knocked offline by the tornado, before the station's studio facility (located along US 68/KY 80 and the William H. Natcher Parkway) briefly lost electricity.[69]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.115.7.68 (talk) 23:29, 12 December 2021 (UTC)

Mt. Juliet Tornado

In the early hours of Dec. 11, there was a tornado in Mt. Juliet, TN that damaged several houses and took out the power for several hours into the day itself. https://www.wsmv.com/news/wilson_county/10-14-homes-damaged-by-storms-in-mount-juliet/article_68117c60-5a75-11ec-a760-7b4514fd5288.html here's a link to a news article about it.

Tornado outbreak of December 10–11, 2021 → December 2021 North American storm complex – Since we've merged the winter storm article into this one, we should change the name of the article to the standard naming convention for similar events (See December 2013 North American storm complex, December 2015 North American storm complex, and Late December 2012 North American storm complex). JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 02:30, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

  • Strong oppose – This article is almost entirely about the tornado outbreak. Changing the title to something else would be misleading and give undue weight to an insignificant snowstorm. United States Man (talk) 02:34, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Opposed (For right now): There's no notable info for the Storm Complex as a whole outside this. Currently, the only thing of real notability is the deadly Tornado Outbreak (thus this article), and nothing else.--Halls4521 (talk) 02:44, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose The winter storm is of secondary importance to the tornado oubtreak and was only merged because that article probably should not have been created in the first place. In that regard the Tornado outbreak of April 14–16, 2011 is probably more comparable. Non-tornadic effects are pretty standard in tornado outbreak articles. TornadoLGS (talk) 03:10, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: The tornado outbreak will be the most recognized part of the storm, and the most notable as well. No need to change the title just to be more inclusive of the background. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:14, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose - When people in the future look for this article, they will almost certainly be looking for the tornado outbreak. Changing the title will only lead people away from the content they are looking for. EdwardLeeLongisland (talk) 03:21, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
  • Strong Oppose - This article is about the outbreak first and foremost basically with a small section regarding other impacts. If enough information can be compiled, then such an article can be created separately under said name that links to this one. DarkSide830 (talk) 03:24, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

    • Note If you are going to Oppose, please do so in a more concise manner and give proper reasoning as per above instead of just "nope", also "EXTREMELY STRONG OPPOSE" is a bit unnecessary, a "strong oppose" at best world work. Thank you.JustAnotherWikiUser0816 (talk) 03:43, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Tornadic vs. non-tornadic deaths

While most of them were indeed tornadic, there are number of deaths that were actually non-tornadic so can we specify that in the opening? I specifically talking about where it says 88 people were killed by tornadoes, which is not true.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 21:54, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Yes, we should specify. Do we have any numbers on non-tornadic deaths? TornadoLGS (talk) 21:56, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
@United States Man: If I'm not mistaken, I know that the death in Shelby County was non-tornadic, right?ChessEric (talk · contribs) 22:00, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

There were two tornado warnings down there, but I've not seen Memphis say anything about surveying damage. United States Man (talk) 22:01, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Incorrect formatting-please refer to previous major outbreak articles!

What is with the huge sections of information listed by state below the tornado table?? Why can we never do this with any degree of consistency? That is NOT how it is done, and there is zero precedent for the sudden change. Please refer to the 2020 Easter tornado outbreak to see how it is supposed to be done. A "Confirmed Tornadoes" section needs to be made with a table, followed by individual writeups for the most significant tornadoes of the outbreak. The list of state by state impacts is already a disorganized mess. Consistency guys, please... TornadoInformation12 (talk) 07:05, 13 December 2021 (UTC)TornadoInformation12

Clean up Impact section

Kenton–Dresden, Tennessee – Pembroke, Kentucky section notability

I do not believe the EF3 tornado for that section is notable enough for a subsection. No fatalities and very few injuries. So, any chance we can discussion the notability of that subsection? Elijahandskip (talk) 22:31, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Over 100-mile path? Yes. United States Man (talk) 22:33, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Where do you see "100-mile path". The subsection says "with a path length of 22 miles (35 km)" Elijahandskip (talk) 22:35, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Let's see: (1) near EF4 damage (rating is still pending by the way, so it could be EF4), (2) tracked over 100 miles, (3) caused injuries, (4) crossed state lines, and (5) caused significant damage in SEVERAL towns. Seems notable enough to me.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 22:36, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
The chart says >100 miles! The part your talking about is a specific section of the path.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 22:37, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
To make sure this is clear, this tornado started in Newbern, Tennessee and ended in Pembroke, Kentucky. The distance between these two points is approximately 114 miles. The tornado had a rating of EF3 from Newbern to Kentucky Lake (71.6 miles in the article) and a rating of EF2 continuing from Kentucky Lake to Fort Campbell (22 miles in the article). Although unmentioned, the distance between Fort Campbell and Pembroke is 10.5 miles. That hopefully clears up some of the confusion. --Super Goku V (talk) 05:00, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
According to DAT, it is closer to 124 miles, but still... United States Man (talk) 05:04, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
That should be the correct number. I should have mentioned that the 114 miles and 10.5 miles were based off of information obtained through Google Maps, which is why those numbers lack the "in the article" part. Given that this was more about confusion over the distance and less about sourcing, I figured that an approximation from Google Maps would be sufficient, though I should have made that clearer. --Super Goku V (talk) 06:22, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Winter Storm Atticus is a redirect to this article. While unofficial, Weather Channel names are likely search terms, so we make sure people are directed to the article of the appropriate storm.

2nd Bowling Green tornado section notability

Do we really need a section for the second Bowling Green tornado? If we didn't do sections for the Defiance, Missouri or the Russellville-Bowling Green tornadoes, why does that one need a section? It didn't really do anything notable.ChessEric (talk · contribs) 21:59, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

On its own, it wouldn't be, but it's notable for Bowling Green getting hit by two significant tornadoes. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:37, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
I think having a section for it will help people distinguish between the two. As they may think a certain place got hit by one when in fact it was the other. United States Man (talk) 23:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
True. However, we didn't do that after Beauregard–Smiths Station, Alabama/Talbotton, Georgia EF4 tornado and the Tuskegee–Beauregard, Alabama EF2 tornado that had path .4 miles from it in 2019. I tried to make a section for that and that got removed. I guess the difference there was the size of the place hit though, right?ChessEric (talk · contribs) 00:37, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Could be inconsistent standards, but I do recall an old guideline, buried somewhere, that considered the population of a city/town when figuring out a tornado's notability. TornadoLGS (talk) 01:55, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

There were some issues with the Common's description. I attempted to fix them, but am unsure that it has been properly done.

User is breaking precedent and repeatedly using wrong formatting

So user United States Man is reverting my edits to correct his wrong section title formatting. Cities and towns are separated by dashes and states are separated by slashes. This is how it’s always been done, but he’s forgotten and is convinced he’s right, and won’t listen to what I am trying to explain. He is threatening to ban me, even though he is in the wrong. Look at the other articles with long trackers. The way he is doing it is wrong, precedent shows this, and I’m tired of arguing when I know I’m in the right. Please back me up in this! Thanks TornadoInformation12 (talk) 23:08, 30 December 2021 (UTC)TornadoInformation12

Accusing other editors of being wrong and plaining stating that "I know the correct way to do it" is WP:OWN behavior. There is no set rule anywhere that governs any of this, so a precedent argument is invalid. United States Man (talk) 23:11, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
That invalidates nothing. All other section titles have been done the way I am saying. You have zero precedent, while I have plenty. You’ll see when others weigh in on this.

TornadoInformation12 (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2021 (UTC)TornadoInformation12

And you know what? I could flip the same argument you are using back around on you. Why is your version of formatting more valid to the point where you are justified in reverting mine? Answer: it’s not, and you are changing procedure without due discussion of it. You argument holds less water than mine does, as you have no discussion to support your proposed change, and once again, no precedent. Logic is favoring my viewpoint here.

TornadoInformation12 (talk) 23:21, 30 December 2021 (UTC)TornadoInformation12

And you know what else? You called my formatting “wrong” in the edit summary. Then, in the about very section, you said there isn’t a right or wrong way. So which is it? It seems to me you are just grasping at straws and contradicting your own statements to do support your own agenda, whether it makes since or not. I will screencap that edit summary for proof to show others. Yo are being needlessly oppositional with ZERO basis to support your argument besides ban threats and clutching to WP: OWN.

TornadoInformation12 (talk) 23:33, 30 December 2021 (UTC)TornadoInformation12

It does appear that there is precedent for using slashes to separate states and dashes to separate towns within a state. It's not a written rule, but it seems to be the common format for other outbreak articles. So, I lean slightly in favor of using the format of other articles. I can see why someone would prefer the other format, though. Either way, having an edit war over this is very WP:LAME, and I think folks need to WP:COOL down. TornadoLGS (talk) 02:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Mayfield EF4

My weather team and I think that Tim Marshall may possibly rate Princeton EF5. Since some of the most significant damage is in Princeton, Kentucky from this tornado, and the damage photos are just horrendous. There does look to be EF5 candidates there. Also we measured the path at about 1.8 miles wide from one DI triangle to the other. This tornado may have been approaching 2 miles wide at some points and it’s life. 2601:247:C500:43E0:4DCB:E192:AD1D:9587 (talk) 12:49, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Until such information is published in a reliable source, it can't be included here. Also note that, per WP:NOTFORUM, this is not a page for general discussion of information about these tornadoes, unless it pertains to its inclusion in this article. TornadoLGS (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

It’s actually not that long. I think it’s fine as is. United States Man (talk) 21:44, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
There is no reason for it to be as large as it is. Tornado sections should not be a regurgitation of DAT. That is undue weight. We'll have a project discussion about it soon. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 23:40, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Quad-state tornado redirect

Right now "Quad-state tornado" is a redirect to this article. It was created when we were not sure if a single long-track tornado had caused damage in four states. Now we know that isn't the case and one member of that tornado family has its own article. Should it be something other than a redirect, since the track it refers to includes a tornado with an article and a tornado with a section in this article? Alternatively, perhaps the Monette/Samburg tornado and Mayfield/Bremen tornado sections could be grouped under a "Quad-state tornado family" heading. TornadoLGS (talk) 21:25, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

I think it should remain as is. People who type in “Quad state tornado” will be redirected here and hopefully understand that there wasn’t a quad-state tornado. Also, I see no reason to group the sections under one header, since we don’t ever do that for any other tornado families. United States Man (talk) 21:53, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Split proposal

I'd like to propose that Tornado_outbreak_of_December_10–11,_2021#Bowling_Green,_Kentucky gets split into a seperate article. The readable prose size is 96 kilobytes, and per WP:SIZERULE, it should be split. I would be open to splitting out the tornado outbreak into a seperate article, List of tornadoes in the Tornado outbreak of December 10-11, 2021 but I'd prefer if the Bowling Green tornado is split out because it appears to have outgrown it's section.

Between the two tornadoes, the readable prose of those sections alone is 15 kilobytes. Due to rewriting, and an MH and whatnot, an article titled 2021 Bowling Green tornadoes (we currently have a redirect for 2021 Bowling Green tornado, I'd be open to that as well) will have enough content to fill the article. The death toll of 16, as well as the 63 injuries, also certainly makes it notable enough for an article. However, it appears contentious. Rather then start a draft I'd like to ask - should we have an article on the Bowling Green tornadoes? 47.16.96.33 (talk) 19:35, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

I don’t have an opinion on this, but the above discussion was not closed. 69.118.235.133 (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
Fun. This discussion was once again started by the same SOCK that started the section above. I think this is a done-deal that it won’t happen with two separate discussions started by the same blocked editor. Elijahandskip (talk) 15:24, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
There has to be some solution, somehow. This article can’t stay the way it is or it violates wikipedia guidelines. Maybe splitting isn’t the best one, but something has to work.71.183.166.47 (talk) 18:41, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
Quit using different IP addresses to act like you are more than one person. No one takes you seriously about anything. United States Man (talk) 23:30, 30 October 2022 (UTC)

Slow edit war between IPs and United States Man

Both of you please discuss your edits here. You appear to both be in a slow edit war. Instead of reverting without explanation (or with unhelpful edit summaries such as just "no") please discuss here so we can reach a consensus. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:11, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

The Andrew5 sock keeps adding inaccurate information just to spite me. Nothing really to discuss. United States Man (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
How dare you call my information inaccurate or accuse me as an Andrew5 sock with only flimsy evidence. [personal attack removed] --170.24.150.113 (talk) 19:16, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
You say they're a sock? Mind linking me to the SPI in which the iP was confirmed as a sock? ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:16, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
Here. The admin admitted the fact but refused to block the IP addresses because the user hops around anyway. The user also shows the same defensive and aggressive behavior on every IP address that is used, so WP:DUCK applies. United States Man (talk) 19:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
Nevermind I found it via the IPs contribs. WP:DUCK from what I"m seeing ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:19, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
