List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak (April 25–26) edit

Nominator(s): United States Man (talk) 04:33, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This list is the confirmed tornadoes from the first two days of the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak, the largest in history. This outbreak was in fact so large that it started breaking templates on the original "list" page, so the list had to be split in two (the first time that has happened with a tornado outbreak). Anyway, I feel that this is up to standards with the only other FL tornado list (List of tornadoes in the 1999 Oklahoma tornado outbreak), and I think this should be able to reach FL as well. Thanks to everyone in advance for any comments you may have. United States Man (talk) 04:33, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment without even looking at the list, the title needs work. (Part 1) is meaningless to our readers. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:32, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any suggestions? I really don't like it either, but User:TropicalAnalystwx13 and myself could never come up with anything. We even held an RfC, but that also got nowhere. United States Man (talk) 02:00, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - as the two parts each refer to specific dates, couldn't you just have the dates in the titles......? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean like List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak (April 25–26)? United States Man (talk) 03:47, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:07, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. How about something like List of tornadoes in the USA on 25 and 26 April 2011? I do not see why you need to have the longer dates in the title. Dudley Miles (talk) 20:22, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is Standard WikiProject proceedure. Plus, British date styles should not be used for U.S.-only events. United States Man (talk) 14:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: (having stumbled here from my FLC discussion page). What about renaming it to simply List of tornadoes in the first two days of the April 25–28, 2011 tornado outbreak ? — Cirt (talk) 02:38, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To me, that seems more awkward that the current title. I think it is a good idea to keep it as short as possible. United States Man (talk) 04:17, 20 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What about List of tornadoes (outbreak of April 25-26, 2011)?-Godot13 (talk) 00:05, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The problem there is that April 25-26 is not the complete outbreak, so it is kind of misleading. I don't think there are many good alternatives to the current name that User:ChrisTheDude suggested above. United States Man (talk) 20:15, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Comments
Leads seems a bit short
In the table Confirmed tornadoes –
- Perhaps add “(April 25-26, 2011)” to the table title
- the total at the end of the line might be better visually if it were on par with the EF numbers (underneath the heading Tornadoes confirmed by rating). Right now it looks as if it should be the total for the entire line, not just the second half.
- The grey N/A cells in the damage column. Is this not applicable or not available (unknown)?
- Is it necessary to sort the coordinates column?

Finally, if you have a chance, I have a FLC too... - Godot13 (talk) 16:52, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of tornadoes in the April 25–28, 2011, tornado outbreak (April 25–26), I should think, as the year requires a comma in the MM-DD-YY construction. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That has been discussed heavily here, here, here, here, and here. I think that after a consensus could not be reached, people sort of just dropped it. If one page in the Project is changed, then all the other 75+ would need to be changed; and there was never consensus to do that. United States Man (talk) 01:09, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Somehow this list has drawn almost no attention, aside from the question of the title. I am archiving it now. Feel free to renominate after two weeks. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:05, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
