Tornadoes[edit]

Hey there Quxyz, we haven’t interacted much, but I thought I’d reach out. I’ve been trying to recruit editors to help with creating more tornado articles. I almost hate to ask, but do you have any interest in tornadoes? I know they’re common and can be devastating in your state, which is why it’s a shame that there is no List of Iowa tornadoes. Such a list wouldn’t need to include every known event - there would be too many to get them all. But getting a general climatology and notable outbreaks would be useful. I mention this because I worked on List of California tornadoes and recently got it to a featured list. One day I would love if every state had their own list for all sorts of weather events. I can help out if you’re interested.

Or if you’re more into tropical cyclones (I am personally!) I wondered what aspect you liked most, and was curious about working on. There are literally tens of thousands of weather articles out there, including a lot waiting to be written! Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 21:54, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am good regarding the list. If you have any specific outbreaks you want me to write about, from Iowa and neighboring states, I will be glad to help. ✶Quxyz 22:31, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nice! Well a hypothetical Draft:List of Iowa tornadoes should have stuff like when was the first recorded tornado in the state. This NWS source gives an average of 47 tornadoes per year in Iowa. Plus, it includes the record drought of tornadoes between 2012 and 2013, with 359 days without a tornado. The main things to include would be any F/EF5 tornadoes, the deadliest events (back in 1968 apparently). Whatcha think? Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 22:41, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, I am not currently interested in producing a list of Iowa tornadoes. I might look into a few specific tornadoes though. ✶Quxyz 23:30, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh lol I misunderstood what you meant by “I am good.” Hurricanehink mobile (talk) 00:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Its ok, I do it all the time. ✶Quxyz 03:30, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree[edit]

Regarding my recent edits to Hurricane Beryl (2024), I mean. They removed wordiness and subsections which needn't exist yet, while focusing on the damage, not mere reports. I won't bother you further about them; just know you were mistaken. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:05, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@InedibleHulk I reverted you edits because there were several grammar changes that muddled the clarity of the article (like replacing Beryl with pronouns) and changing the title of the subsection. ✶Quxyz 22:19, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Preparation is a collection of preparations, and to what else could "it" possibly refer? InedibleHulk (talk) 22:21, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As the article develops overtime, there may be more nouns used that the average person may not be familiar with and the more pronouns in use, the meaning may become less clear. I cannot identify any nouns that could be confused but I also could be far more informed on tropical storms than the average person. Also, preparations is the heading used on every other article. ✶Quxyz 22:29, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, whatever, I'll just hope you can appreciate how my latest two edits are good. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your most recent edit seem good. If I accidentally reverted something that I didn't touch on feel free to reinstate it. ✶Quxyz 22:34, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I took "it" to mean the "report" parts. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:48, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
