Sorry about that reversion
Hey ChessEric! I wanted to apologize for this reversion. Yeah, I've been trying to hunt for weather-related Featured Pictures, since there is barely any, with less than a dozen tornado-related ones. The odd-thing with FPs is something called "Encyclopedic Value" or EV. The more EV an image has, the better than chance is to be promoted by the community. Right now, that tornado photograph is mid-nomination with 4 supports and 0 oppositions. However, it was listed for both the yearly article and outbreak article for EV. I really appreciate you changing images around and such, but when there is an FP chance, it is actually better to have it in multiple articles rather than just one. So yeah, really sorry about that reversion. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:18, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I realized that and don't mind at all. I appreciate you letting me know that it did have an FP nomination. I'm actually surprised at the current count since the previous nominations were quickly shot down. I hope this one passes. ChessEric 22:20, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- For real same. The fact that in two decades of time on Wikipedia, tornadoes only have 8 (if I counted correctly) awarded images is insane. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
I have a somewhat abandoned draft article you can help me with
I invite you and anyone else who wants to to edit Draft:list of particularly dangerous situation watches. It seems as if that article has sorta been forgotten about. We’ve only gotten down to 2020 (for completely listed and in some cases not even that far) and if I recall, the entries only go back to 2018. There’s still a lot more in IEM archives. Your help at expanding the list to mainspace ready format would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. (Ps I have sent this message or a variant thereof to a bunch of other people trying to get folk’s attention) West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 19:55, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
- @ChessEric, If you are going to reply, please do so on the article talk page. There is a similar discussion going on there. Do not reply here. Thank you. West Virginia WXeditor (talk) 21:44, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Question
Do you have a copy of Sig tornadoes 1680-1991 by Grazulis? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 15:07, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- No, I don't, but I found a version online. ChessEric 17:28, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
