Incorrectly researched/ranked/etc? Need rank column deleted? Please do not delete!

TLDR: please don’t delete or deface this article until I’ve had time to address these problems.

It has been brought to my attention that changes were made to the weather-article policies and procedures as to where accurate damage totals can be found. At one point, NOAA was the be-all/end-all, even when it didn’t make sense. I disagreed entirely and tried to find other, more exact sources, then made the changes only to have my edits reverted back to what was clearly incorrect information. And I complained about this to no avail: every attempt was ignored. Now, we have apparently moved on to something else where ranking by damage total cannot be used?

I don’t have time (right now) to fix this article so it meets all the new criteria, but I spent *weeks* pulling this together from many different sources - including Wikipedia articles! - so I’m politely requesting that it’s not deleted. Thank you! Dym75 (talk) 20:36, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

On the wiki it says it causes <1.604 Billion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_outbreak_of_January_12,_2023#Selma,_Alabama for he selma tornado yet it's not on the list, also Little Rock and Western kentucky may never have a total cost but perhaps both are over a billion Colin777724 (talk) 06:11, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
