==Tornado Emergency Article==
Thank you for that link to assist me in verifying bulletins and adding citations for the Tornado Emergency article. I finished the table using the information already listed on the page plus two new entires. Next (later tonight and tomorrow), I intend to go back and check the locations, warned counties, # of bulletins issued, and citation links for most of the entries and make sure everything is as correct as I can make it, adding missing information when I can find it. I probably will not search for missing entries, since this would be way too time consuming, but if you know of any Tornado Emergencies missing, feel free to add them. Only bulletins issued by the NWS that include the "Tornado Emergency" text are official and should be added.


Let me know if you have any additional suggestions or links. Thank you!

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not ] to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
==Enigma Outbreak==
Thanks for the message. I've been doing a lot of research locally - I have Grazulis' book, and several university libraries in my area. I've found copies of wire articles published that describe many of the storms in widely varying levels of detail. I still need to do some cleanup and sourcing with the article.


When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious ] or ], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see ]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found ].
The foundation article ran in the NY Times, two days later, and it did a state-by-state accounting, though telegraph communications in some areas were disrupted, so the articles were very detailed in their coverage of some states (AL, GA, SC and the floods along the OH River), and very limited in others. Midwestern papers (perhaps due to greater familiarity with tornado outbreaks) had good coverage as well. Most of the detail in NC came from two small-town papers, in Wadesboro and Statesville, NC. An individual living near Wadesboro undertook a very detailed survey of the three large storms which passed through that area - travelling the path of the strongest storm (and recording damage details and some survivor stories), and drafting a house-to-house inventory of effects along the path of the others. This gentleman also summarized effects elsewhere in NC.


If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> ] (]) 18:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
Grazulis' book and a road atlas provided F? ratings, when available and/or applicable, and were of help in pinpointing counties, towns and distances. Grazulis was also the source for some details, though I would not like for this to be the lone source, and am still working to develop as many other sources as possible. The basic article, and specific storm details were first pulled from the aforementioned newspaper sources. Chart entries with multiple referenced sources are the ones I consider complete; the others I am still working to beef up.
Some, but not all, of those sources are available online, and I'll get those links up as soon as I can. The emergency management offices in VA and AL have a complete inventory of significant tornadoes in those states, and the AL listing includes path maps. The journal of the American Meteorological Society also was a source - primarily of value in pinpointing locations and times (their severe weather reports usually did not offer descriptions of effects, but did list times and locations).


==Invitation to join WikiProject United States==
Thanks for reading through, and any suggestions or pointers would be welcome. I've been working - within the 'tornado projects' - to try to research older outbreaks, and significant outbreaks striking unusual parts of the country (SE, Mid-Atlantic and NE, specifically). I've done a good bit of reading and digging around for info that covers the Midwest, Plains and Miss. Valley as well, so let me know if I can help in any projects you might be undertaking.

==WikiProject Weather: Map Dot & Template/Infobox Colors==
== re:helpdesk ==
Dear project member,
This message is being sent out to encourage new ideas and feedback on those proposed in regard to the colors debate for WikiProject Weather. For those who are unaware of what's been happening over the last year, I will give a brief summary. We have been discussing proposed changes to the colors of the dots on tropical cyclone maps and templates and infoboxes across the entire weather project in order to solve issues related to the limited contrast between colors for both normal vision as well as the various types of color blindness (]). We had partially implemented a proposal earlier this year, however, it was objected to by a number of people and additional issues were presented that made it evident this wasn't the optimal solution. We tried to come up with other solutions to address the issues related to color contrast, however, none of them gained traction and no consensus was generated.


We need your help and I encourage you to propose your own scale and give feedback on those already listed. Keep in mind that we are '''NOT''' making a decision on any individual proposal at this time. We are simply allowing people to make proposals and cultivate them given feedback from other project members. Please visit our ] for additional details. The proposal phase will close no later than December 31st at 23:59 UTC. ]<sup>]</sup> 04:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
It wasn't accusatory, I don't expect you to look through an '''entire''' page of questions before you asked yours, its not like you were asking a reference question on the help desk, despite the fact that there is a notice in big red letters telling people not to :P. Anyways sorry I couldn't be of more assistance, and thanks for commenting on my userpage.--]] Have a nice day :) 03:04, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I have now more or less left Misplaced Pages, again, but you never know, I might suddenly decide to just randomly start editing again.
This user has probably left for real this time. Southern Illinois SKYWARN has not edited Misplaced Pages since October 2011. As a result, any requests made here may not receive a response. If you are seeking assistance, you may need to approach someone else.
