This article is really starting to look great everyone... well done! With that being said, I am nominating this article for GA status. Triberocker ( talk) 16:14, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
I have went ahead and renominated, as you can see above. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 03:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
[1] Is this the most recent tornado track map. If so there have been at least 2 other tornadoes (both EF0) in Shelby County while an EF0 occured just south of the state line (I believe this one is on the list). That may explain why those power flashes seen from that WREG tower cam were far apart, there may have been satellite tornadoes accompanying the main tornado. If someone can confirm that it is the most recent, I can add the 2 additionnal Shelby county tornadoes on the list and that would make 80 confirmed tornadoes with still most of the Arkansas section of the NWS Memphis area left. -- JForget 00:06, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I could not find a new reference for the death, even after a fairly exhaustive search. It should be removed, after all, the initial report was according to a Daviess County school official. It would probably be best for someone else to remove it, after the mess I caused with references when I added it. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 20:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
I've put the article on hold for minor improvements to be made. Thank you for you hard work in improving the article thus far, and good luck in improving it to GA status. Juliancolton (St. Patrick's day) 16:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
It might sound strange, but could I cite a radar loop in the Meterological Sypnosis section? Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 13:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
We still need references in sypnosis section, I have tagged the sentences that need references. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 17:49, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Probably the hardest thing to find references for is the sypnosis. I have suggested using the OHX radar loop as a reference for the convective mode. I put this at the original research noticeboard, but no noe responded. I am hoping to get a few more opinions on this.

The NWS Nashville could be a source for the radar loop of the Memphis-Jackson, Hardin County-Nashville and the first fatal Kentucky tornado supercells. It stops before the Alabama storms are developing. For the Alabama storms, maybe the ABC 33-40 blog would help. Yeah I know blogs are not the best, but ABC 33-40 is known for having one of the best tornado coverages in the States with complete wall-to-wall live coverages on TV and on the web when a tornado is issued as well as frequent updates on blogs, not only alabamawx.com but also James Spann's own blog. They list all warnings and details info on storms moving through the area even when it is not severe. So alabamawx.com might be a very reliable source anyways. For the tracks and tornado touchdowns and times, the NWS survey pages should been enough. -- JForget 16:16, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I think I would consider those blogs somewhat reliable sources. I still think some people might consider the radar loop OR, it would be nice if there was some response on the noticeboard. Also, thanks for the help with dates, I have fixed that. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 16:34, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you removed some {{ fact}} tags from the lead. I have never read WP:CITE, but I personally think things should be cited in the lead and their own section. I just thought I better bring it up here before I did anything. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 23:04, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
We now have no {{ fact}} templates in the entire article. In other words, no more references are needed! This really could be a FA, Storm Data or not. Thank you and great job to all, but especially to JForget. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 01:36, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that Juliancolton put a {{ fact}} template on the end of a sentence saying there were no voting issues. In my opinion, the lack of a reference is the reference. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 22:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
An encylopedic article is no place for a "human-interest" story of a baby being thrown 100 yards and its mother being killed. Those stories are for Storm Stories, and the news, although it should be on neither, because they have them just to get higher ratings. Southern Illinois SKYWARN ( talk) 18:27, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
Seeing that the issues with the references have been addressed, I am happy to say that the article passes GA. Good work, and I look foreward to seeing this being shipped off to FAC. Juliancolton The storm still blows... 17:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
They updated the NCDC data up to February 28 so some of the tornadoes now are listed (including some that may be newly discovered). However, some are still missing so the numbers are not final yet. I know NWS Memphis hasn't put out anything yet, and that represents a large proportion of the property damage. CrazyC83 ( talk) 23:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
NWS Memphis [has its storm data out on its site (but not on NCDC yet), and the damage seems to add up to well over $600M. CrazyC83 ( talk) 23:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
So the article failed its first FAC. I believe this could be Featured Article material at some point, but I also believe it was nominated too soon after the event: official Storm Data for the event is just now coming out. I'll be going through and making improvements where I see them, and I think this article should be ready for another Featured Article nomination in a few months.
PS I apologize for not helping the original FAC, I've just finished a school-induced wikibreak. - Running On Brains 04:17, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I have started a Peer Review on this article. I am making a goal of having this as a FA by February 5, 2009. CrazyC83 ( talk) 21:18, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
The NWS released their service assessment (large PDF file) today, which should help a lot with references, especially in regards to warnings, watches, etc. The report also contains extensive information on fatalities. While I am not editing on here very much anymore, I would help out with a section on the impact this has had on the NWS, they are proposing some rather large new programs. It also brought up how fatalities occur more commonly in the south than other parts of the country, and went into rather deep detail as to why. I think this should help the article quite a bit.
