25px|alt=|link= ↗ Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in <span class="plainlinks">this edit ↗</span> to :John Ngiraked ↗, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary ↗. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page ↗. Thank you. <!-- Template:Huggle/warn-delete-1 --><!-- Template:uw-delete1 -->Materialscientist (talk) 10:37, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Useful Links and a Warm Welcome



Hey Markalexander47! I noticed you are a new editor, so I wanted to welcome you to Wikipedia! I noticed you have been editing some regarding tornado ↗es. I have a few helpful links you can read and check out below!

And of course, my own user talk page is a great place to ask any questions, especially any weather-related question. I've been editing Wikipedia for over 5 years, and I've created or helped created hundreds of articles on here. Seriously, if you ever have any questions, you are more than welcome to ask me!

In case you have any interest in learning more about tornadoes, you are more than welcome to assist me on my current project: Completely rewriting and redoing the history of tornado research ↗ article over at User:WeatherWriter/Tornadic research.

Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia! Have a wonderful day! '''The Weather Event Writer''' (Talk Page) 05:22, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

I liked the way you described the possible edit for the page. Where you talked about adding it to the lead and having both. I believe the moratorium is over on discussions about the name change. would you be able to restart discussions on the name change. I'm not sure how. &#126;2025-34850-32 ↗ (talk) 14:13, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
