Wikipedia and copyright
30px|link=|alt=Control copyright icon ↗ Hello Trashgoose! Your additions to :Delta Gamma ↗ have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain ↗ or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible ↗ copyright license. (''To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission ↗''.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright ↗ and plagiarism ↗ issues.
- You can only copy/translate a ''small'' amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation mark ↗s (") and cite the source using an inline citation ↗. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content ↗ in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners ↗, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information ''in your own words and structure'', in proper paraphrase ↗. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems ↗, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing ↗. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify ↗ the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research ↗.
- We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use ↗ images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria ↗ in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
- If ''you'' own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you ''may'' be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, ''to the world'', into either the public domain ↗ (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible ↗ copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials ↗.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia ↗. See also Help:Translation#License requirements ↗.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked ↗ from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. <!-- Template:uw-copyright-new --> – Pbrks <sup><span style="font-variant:small-caps">(t • c ↗)</span></sup> 05:21, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
New tornado chart layout
Hey Trashgoose! I don’t think you were aware of the new tornado chart layout, but recently WikiProject Weather came to a consensus on a new tornado chart ↗. You can view the new tornado chart layouts here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Tornado table layout ↗. The articles are slowly being converted to this new layout. Have a wonderful day! '''The Weather Event Writer''' (Talk Page) 17:51, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
:Hi WeatherWriter! I was not aware of that; thank you for pointing it out! I'll make a note of that. Kind of a shame; I liked the other format a lot more. The new one will take some getting used to. Have a great day, too! Trashgoose (talk) 17:56, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Please stop removing the word parish from the tornado tables. Not every state has counties, some such as Louisiana consider them parishes. wxtrackercody <small>(talk · contributions ↗)</small> 00:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
:Yes, I know that. However, only one state doesn't have counties -- Louisiana (barring Alaska which has boroughs but tornadoes there are extremely rare). I was only removing parish when there weren't any tornadoes recorded for LA since "county / parish" was making the formatting of the table look weird. I left parish in there whenever there was a tornado recorded for LA. Trashgoose (talk) 14:44, 14 June 2024 (UTC)
List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes ↗ Improvement Time!
Hello there! I am sending this alert to all members of the WikiProject Weather ↗ and editors who have recently edited in the realm of tornadoes.
There is a ''large'' and '''important''' discussion ongoing, with the goal to completely overhaul and improve the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes ↗. The previous improvement attempt back in 2022/2023 gained almost no participation. This alert is being sent out so these discussions hopefully gain a reasonably-sized participation, so the F5/EF5 tornado article, one of the most viewed weather-related articles on Wikipedia, can be improved for all readers!
If you wish to participate, please visit: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather/Possible F5/EF5/IF5 tornadoes ↗. '''The Weather Event Writer''' (Talk Page) 17:26, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of United States tornadoes in May 2011 ↗, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Manchester, Texas ↗. Such links are usually incorrect ↗, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the FAQ{{*}} Join us at the DPL WikiProject ↗.)</small>
