User:Departure–

Former alt of DontBanMeThanks, once GeorgeMemulous, and now Departure–. Sometimes I edit, and I try not to break the rules (if I do, feel free to tell me on my talk page). I'm a bit of a bold editor when I feel like it, and often help out at WP:ITNC and WP:Help desk, as well as miscellaneous anti-vandalism work.

My current signature (going to change soon, as of the listed date): Departure– (talk) 00:21, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

• Pages I've started:
  • Severe weather sequence of July 13–16, 2024, 2021 Naperville–Woodridge tornado my first good article!, Ring of fire (meteorology), List of United States tornadoes in November 2024 Mountain Fire (2024) I made my draft two hours earlier, so it goes here!

• Drafts I've started (feel free to contribute!):
  • Draft:List of airports struck by tornadoes, Draft:1976 Jordan tornado, Draft:Tornado outbreak sequence of June 11–14, 1976, Draft:2022 Chicago supercell, Draft:1967 Belvidere tornado, Draft:List of US tornado records by state, Draft:Warn-on-Forecast, Draft:Surf (condition), Draft:List of places hit multiple times by significant tornadoes

• Disambiguation and notable redirect pages I've created:
  • 7 October (disambiguation), Mo Murda, Decay of the proton, Bayraktar drone

• Miscellaneous pages I've created:
  • User:Departure–/Generic tornado outbreak, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peanut (squirrel) (yes, this absolute train-wreck of an AfD).

• Pages I've significantly contributed to:
  • List of tornadoes striking downtown areas of large cities, Hurricane Beryl tornado outbreak, Tornado records, List of disasters by cost

• Pages that don't exist yet but I want to make if possible:
  • 1972 North Chicago tornado, 2014 Mayflower–Vilonia tornado, 2019 Dayton tornado, 2019 Dallas tornado, 2002 Indianapolis tornado, Daytime heating, List of US weather radar sites, as well as Leaded gasoline and Downtown Chicago which are independent of Tetraethyl lead and the Loop respectively and have easily enough coverage to warrant an article, perhaps even an FA-level one

• More pages that probably are not notable enough but I might try to get made at some point:
  • Mr. Quija, Change the World (Bone Thugs-n-Harmony song), Tomica Wright, Matt Bunkers, List of tornadoes causing at least 1 fatality (2020–present), 2024 Custer City tornado (again, for if more coverage becomes available), Death and legacy of Eazy-E

Other: Nominated Hurricane Helene for ITN, as well as a few other things that ended up getting merged (2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, National Public Data breach, Water on Mars, etc.), made ITN hooks for Hurricane Milton and Valeriana (city), involved in the great Tornado records edit wars / revert festival of June 2024, often edit from an 800-way split anon-blocked IP, and over 2000 edits now.
