Well said!Liz Read! Talk!
While Wikipedia's written
policies and guidelines should be taken seriously, they can be misused.
Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies.
If the rules truly prevent you from improving the encyclopedia,
ignore them.
Disagreements are resolved through
consensus-based discussion, not by tightly sticking to rules and procedures.
Furthermore, policies and guidelines themselves
may be changed to reflect
evolving consensus. (

Staying cool when the editing gets hot!
If you came here just to insult me, I will delete your comments without a reply.
And if I wasn't involved, personal attacks clearly warrant a block.
A strong tornado is classified as EF2 or EF3. Referring to a tornado that has either not been rated or is not EF2 or EF3 is factually incorrect. SalmonSalmonSalmon ( talk) 19:00, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Please don't act like I'm clueless or something. I know what a strong tornado is classified as and there are reports, videos, and pictures indicating that these were strong tornadoes. If I put violent, I'd understand, but there is nothing wrong with saying a tornado was strong when there is clear evidence of it being one. Please stop changing the summaries; it's annoying.

- If there is evidence of it being EF2 or EF3 then it should be provided. Both violent and strong are both examples of words that specifically refer to a certain intensity with violent being EF4+ and strong being EF2 or EF3.

- Again, reports indicate that these were strong tornadoes. I see no problem with adding that in the summaries.

- Nowhere in the reports do they indicate that they are strong. We have to wait for the surveys to come in before we can make a judgement rather then speculating on the rating ourselves.

- I thought you might say that, but I'm not at all speculating. News reports, spotter reports, and law enforcement reports all indicate that these tornadoes were strong. I don't just put in random stuff; I always use sources.

- The sources provided do not explicitly state that they are EF2 or EF3. We don't rely on indications based on reports but rather official surveys. Wikipedia has a policy against original research.

- I'm sorry, but OR is not something I use. However, I'm not going to argue anymore. This is not because I'm being salty, but instead because I'm trying to avoid these types of things, since I can easily get riled up. If you believe that the summary should not include the term "strong," you can change it, although I would bring it up on the talk page first.
