Tornadoes of 2026 ↗ moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Tornadoes of 2026 ↗. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because '''it has no sources''' and '''no tornado events have happened so far, so it is pointless to make a blank article'''.
I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page ↗.
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. '''Hurricane''''''Zeta'''C ↗ 15:20, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

:My bad, I thought they were made into an article on January 1st regardless of events. Lightbulb Noob (talk) 15:37, 1 January 2026 (UTC)
::Yeah it's alright, it's confusing but we generally make the article when a notable event happens so the article has at least one entry (otherwise it's just a skeleton). '''Hurricane''''''Zeta'''C ↗ 15:41, 1 January 2026 (UTC)

File source problem with File:2020 Hampton County tornado memorial.png

64px|left|alt=|link= ↗
Thank you for uploading ''':File:2020 Hampton County tornado memorial.png ↗'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright ↗ status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page ↗.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion ↗ and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the '''image use policy ↗''' to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads ↗. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page ↗. Thank you. — Ирука13 ↗ 15:56, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
