Hello, Quincy Gordon, I'm Halls4521. Like you, I was putting together a draft version for a article for the 1896 Sherman Tornado as well. Since it looks like your further along than I am, here's my draft here, just in case you want to use some additional sentences and references for yours. Thanks.

- I am absolutely impressed with the work you have, I will surely use what you have and when I can I will credit you for your contributions, thank you! Quincy Gordon (talk) 16:14, 15 November 2025 (UTC) Reply
If possible, can you add sources in the descriptions to show what resource these maps are made from? I'm mostly afraid that these maps would constitute WP:OR if they are made from satellite/videos of the funnel or WP:SYNTH if they're just mashed together from newspaper reports, which aren't always reliable.

Any chance you could find more public domain image of the 2011 Hackleburg tornado? I know we have one (Dustin Morgan) but it would not hurt to have some more IMO. I searched around and haven’t had any luck so far. MarioProtIV (talk /contribs ) 21:15, 7 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
- I can potentially see what I can do
- Though I am just happy I was able to get in contact with Dustin Morgan in the first place to get his sequence of 5 images. Quincy Gordon (talk) 21:21, 7 May 2026 (UTC) Reply
Hey, I just wanted to show some appreciation for your efforts in finding free-to-use tornado images, pictures that are very high-quality no less. The pictures are the first impression anyone gets of an article, so you have pretty much single–handedly improved a ton of tornado articles. You do this for so many articles and I don't see you getting a ton of appreciation for that, so thank you. Tetradisulfate (talk) 03:02, 28 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

- As a resident of New Richmond, WI, the new image surprised me. Pretty cool, man. Where is that newspaper based from? I’d love to have a look if there’s an archive of it somewhere. ILoveTheRepublic (talk) 14:16, 19 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
- The Newspaper it was published in should be in the source of it Quincy Gordon (talk) 00:00, 20 July 2026 (UTC) Reply
