Review section[edit]

I am nominating this featured article for review because of several serious problems with the article. Specifically, the article does not discuss Tornado Emergency, tornadoes in pop culture, and the impact overall to the United States and globally (annual/total damage and deaths) including economic impact. Many sections are outdated in their coverage such as the ongoing research and climate change. Some sections likely need additional content added, for example, academic discussions about tornadoes in Europe. Quite a few references are very old, from the 1990s and early 2000s, and need to be replaced by newer ones. Large swaths of text are unsourced. There is a lot of inconsistent reference formatting and duplicate linking. Alt-text is needed for images. That being said, I never checked the article for Grammar/prose structure given how severe the issues are above. NoahTalk 13:40, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SandyGeorgia: Would you be able to do a CCI check on this one? No rush since it's close to Christmas. I just got to feeling well enough again to really resume editing since I had been sick for the past several days. NoahTalk 13:54, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry you have been sick; yes, I will do the CCI work after Christmas. I am hoping that I have a better methodology by now, and can do it faster, and with less questions, but to time how long it takes, I want to have a clear calendar to do it in one sitting. This is a highly summarized article with many sub-articles, so the copying within checks are going to take a very long time. I hope that the talk page here will document the methodology needed, so other editors can help in the future. One very big problem is that we can't just check the current version, as copyvio or copying within are often obscured by the intense editing that happens during a content review at GAN or FAC.

Hurricane Noah I am wondering why you did not notify User:Runningonbrains? SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:28, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also .. User:Evolauxia, User:Thegreatdr, and User:Jason Rees (as these are names I am frequently encountering as I dig back in to the article’s history to do the CCI check, and they are all top contributors). SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:31, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this article now meets WIAFA 1f, compliance with copyright policy; see my summary on talk. This work took 10 hours; it is my hope that this check provides a roadmap for the work needed throughout, and that should be added to FAC, FAR and GAN on all weather-related topics.
