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 marks (") 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. – Pbrks ^(t • c) 05:21, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

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)

Yeah, it was done to better support mobile users, which make up 2/3rds of the readers on Wikipedia. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:59, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

I'm not really into it either, especially since the sortable EF# category has not been fixed yet, but that's what was voted in so...yeah. ChessEric 19:00, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Trashgoose,

Please do not blank pages, in this case, category pages. It can be useful to know what parent categories a category has been placed in. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:43, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi Liz,

Sorry about that! I will refrain from doing so in the future. Thanks for the heads up. Trashgoose (talk) 17:35, 11 December 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 (talk · contributions) 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)

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. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 20:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to List of the most popular names in the 2010s in the United States. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit for review" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 02:34, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

There is a new ongoing request for comment discussion, with the goal to solve the various disputes on weather-related articles (such as tornadoes or hurricanees) on how to best utilize damage estimates in the infobox. Your comments are highly-requested, as the result of this discussion will affect all weather-related articles. This notice is being sent to all editors who have recently edited weather event articles.

You can view and participate in the discussion here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#RFC - Weather Infobox Damages. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 17:29, 23 March 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Trashgoose.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:27, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

This discussion is regarding the following question: Should WikiProject Weather encourage the use of infobox collages for weather with standalone articles? The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:27, 14 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Tecumseh Junior – Senior High School, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A bare URL and missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 17:27, 6 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Trashgoose. This message concerns the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "List of the most popular names in the 2010s in the United States".

Drafts that go unedited for six months are eligible for deletion, in accordance with our draftspace policy, and this one has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission, and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you read this, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the draft so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! DreamRimmer bot II (talk) 16:24, 29 December 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to List of U.S. cities named after other states. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it has no sources and no indication that this meets WP:NLIST. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. • Quinn (talk) 15:35, 25 January 2026 (UTC)
