March 2023 - Tornadoes of 2023
Hello, I'm Elijahandskip. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Tornadoes of 2023, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Elijahandskip (talk) 03:16, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Well there was one EF4 in Oklahoma on February 26 2023 so may I add that back maybe I did make a mistake I recently made this account so I didn’t know what to do so can you help me with the mistake I made? PIIERE (talk) 15:51, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Where did you see that? If you list a reference for it, then you can add it back. I check the Damage Assessment Toolkit and there isn’t an EF4 listed, so listing a source is important. If you are editing on a computer, there should be a little “Cite” dropdown option. In that, you can click “Templates” and that will allow you to cite a website, news article, book, or journal. Help:Referencing for beginners can also be a great resource to use to help with the citation that is required for Wikipedia. I hope that helps, but as long as you cite a source, are are more than welcome to add the EF4 tornado back! Elijahandskip (talk) 16:52, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I don’t know what to do because a tracked this tornado last month and i’m sure there was a F4 tornado. PIIERE (talk) 19:25, 12 March 2023 (UTC)

 * I got this text from my friend, PIIERE (talk) 21:00, 12 March 2023 (UTC)


 * (Extra comment) From what it sounds like, the information about an EF4 tornado would fall under Wikipedia’s policy of no original research. Everything on Wikipedia has to have a secondary, reliable source directly stating the material. In this case, the only way you could add that an EF4 tornado occurred on February 26, 2023 in Oklahoma would be if another reliable source (like a news article or National Weather Service statement) also said there was an EF4 tornado. I did some quick Google searches, and it appears the highest rated tornado on that day was an EF2. So, unless you can provide that news article or National Weather Service statement about an EF4 tornado occurring, then it cannot be added. Elijahandskip (talk) 19:37, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
