I've listed this article for peer review because I have asked for advice at Wikipedia:WikiProject Severe weather and WP:METEO. Those who gave me feedback have said that I have done just about as much as I can. I really want to try to improve this article more, but I just do not know how.

If there is more information, it should be added to the article, as it seems a little short. Other than that, the writing seems good. Juliancolton ^{(St. Patrick's day)} 17:46, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know its short, there is just not that much information out there that is encylopedic. Thanks, Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 18:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ruhrfisch comments: A map showing the counties affected would help (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky). This seems to me to be the kind of article that would really be helped by going somewhere (usually a library) with archives of the local newspapers for the communities affected - there are already two newspaper articles cited, but they seem to be 25th anniversary pieces. Also try to include more on the aftermath - was the National Guard called in? Was it a state or national disaster area? Hope this helps, Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:23, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would make a map of counties effected, but I have no image editing program, and I don't know where I should ask for this. Also, I'm afraid that I do not have access to Marion's library, I do have access to another Southern Illinois library, but they probably have less information than I already have.

I will see what I can do about a quick map. As horrific as it sounds, I would imagine even TIME, Newsweek and national papers like the NY Times would have coverage from 1982 at your local library. Ruhrfisch _><>°^° 00:53, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The tornado or the library? :) Southern Illinois SKYWARN (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
