I had edited the saudi part for the Rabigh and Umluj Tornadoes, and well Im not that good at source editing so uh thanks again Sultangoat25 (talk) 16:33, 27 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hey there, so for both countries, I think it's better to go chronological, even with there being potentially thousands. The US gets about a thousand per year, so the US has tornado lists by months, in some cases. There might not be great sourcing for the thousands of events in each country, and starting from scratch will take a while to get them all, but better to get them started. And absolutely, yes include etymology. As well as climatology if you can find it. Good luck on the important projects! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 23:56, 30 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

First off, please never apologize for bothering anyone ever again on this website! :P This is a volunteer project, where everyone is free to either ignore things if they don't it, or, ideally, they engage in conversation productively. So let's go with option two ^_^ You bring up a good point about how we track events each year. The yearly approach by area is how it's done in South America and Europe, and it would also fit nicely under Tornadoes_of_2026#Events, where it lists these areas, Canada, and the US. I like this approach, it's a great idea.

If you need help setting it up, you should bring it up to either the Asia or severe weather projects. On the subject, right now, we have List of Asian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. I think that should ideally be split up into individual lists for every country. This would be a similar structure to other areas.

As for China and Japan, get them into drafts so you can publish them, so other people can start to help organize and finish them! Just saying, collaborating makes things a lot easier. Cheers and thanks for reaching out. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:59, 14 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Noted, thank you so much! Hopefully in the future, these articles are ready for mainspace. ^-^ Tarou-Rai (talk) 08:39, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Well, that's where you and I have different definitions of articles being ready. Articles can be published if they are incomplete, as long as everything in the article is sourced. You can even include a template in the article indicating what areas are incomplete. For example, the Draft:List of China tornadoes is already pretty long. You should make some kind of dummy edit to indicate you copied the information from the Asia tornado parent article, but I think it can be published basically as-is. People might be more likely to help edit the List of China tornadoes article, especially if linked from other China articles, than adding to the rather long List of Asian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:14, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Ohhh I see I see. I suppose adding dynamic list templates would do. After finishing up with climatology and etymology parts, I could use WP:RIA-COPY for the list of tornadoes itself. Considering that tornadic activity around these part of the year is at its peak in Asia, specifically June to September, those articles such as List of China tornadoes and List of Japan tornadoes are very-well needed. Thank you for the heads up! :D Tarou-Rai (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yea those are absolutely needed, both for being so populated, and with how often they occur. I agree the need for climatology and etymology sections as well. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 01:54, 16 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update - I decided to publish the list, after the recent tornado. I also added some climatology stuff. Thanks for working on the list! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 18:49, 10 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

The best part about Wikipedia is that there is no deadline. Also, that it's collaborative. Part of why this website works so well is knowing that other people might take what you do and help build on your work. I hope you're doing well with college. It's best to focus on studies, and not pet research projects that take a lot of time and formatting. Don't get me wrong, it can be fun to do a deep dive into a topic and enjoy seeing your work. But it's even better getting a proper education so you can learn about what will hopefully be your life's dreams.
You mentioned the Asia tornadoes in 2026. It's your call if you think that's needed, but it's often going to be in one of the same few countries, due to where the population is. So Philippines, China, India, Japan, etc. Most of them have tornado list articles already, except Japan, so if you happened to have free time, and it didn't interfere with your studies, then the Japan tornado list would be the most useful. The most bang-for-your-buck (as the American expression goes), or Sulit (as it's apparently known in Tagalog). ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Oh and my day is going well, and I hope yours is going well too! ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 19:48, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
