Hi, I'm EF5 (formerly MemeGod27 and Sir MemeGod). I usually write about galaxies, tornadoes (I mean, obviously) and a bunch of other random things. I've been here since February 2024, and in that time have gotten a teensy bit done (see below). Have a great day!

About me

On Wikipedia

[edit]
  • I have made over 380 articles. (a lot, I know)
  • A bit less impressive, but I also have 11,000+ edits as of November 2024.
  • I have had five of my articles appear on the Main Page: Austin J. Tobin Plaza, Kiso 5639, COSMOS Field, G299.2-2.9 and Actinote zikani.
  • I have promoted four articles to "Good Article" status: Actinote zikani, Austin J. Tobin Plaza, 2015 Garland tornado and Italian Campaign of 1796-1797.
  • Although I'm assuming most people think that the ":)" at the end of every message I send is automated, it isn't. I manually add it every time. :)
  • I have AutoWikiBrowser rights. (I usually just add categories).
  • I am IPBE (IP Block Exempt), which I had to request 4 separate times due to UTRS issues (at least from what I've been told).
  • My signature is E F 5 18:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC).
  • My user page somehow gets an average of 2,000 weekly pageviews, which is absolutely absurd.
  • Yes, I may have been the indirect cause of the purge of over 1,000 weather-related images on Wikimedia Commons, a massacre that continues to this day. :)
  • I was an extremely cringy editor from March to April of 2024. My signature was horrible, I would always say "lmao" and "lol" in professional discussions, among other stuff. For those of you who I haven't seen in months, yes I've changed, presumably for the better.
  • I am an AfC reviewer. It's gone pretty good so far, but we'll see how long it takes for me to get an angry talk page message.

Off Wikipedia

[edit]
  • I can operate a non-automated telescope pretty well.
  • I am a Cadet Airman First Class in the United States Civil Air Patrol. I specifically operate on the same airport that the 121st Air Refueling Wing operates on, and we share a unit number (121).
  • I do not yet own a Wikipedia hoodie, but will own one by September 30.
  • Yes, I live in Ohio (specifically east Columbus). No, it is not funny. (The meme never made sense anyway)
  • I’m planning on going to the University of Oklahoma in the near future for meteorology, and living in Moore, Oklahoma, a known tornado hotspot.
  • I lived in Iceland for a year. The wind is worse than the snow, if I must be honest.
  • I am the owner of a 6-inch by 6.5-inch solid concrete cube. Don't ask why.
  • My all-time favorite song is Juicy by The Notorious B.I.G.. If you haven't listened to it, give it a look. It is profane, that's all I'll say.
  • I am Community Emergency Response Team-certified, meaning the U.S. Government can deploy me to disaster sites at any given point.

Notes

[edit]
  • Note 1 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that I am particularly fond of how it turned out. They are also my best works! :)
  • Note 2 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that I created the article and nominated it for Did You Know. If you want to see the hook, then click on the article and go to its' talk page.
  • Note 3 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the page has over 5,000 monthly pageviews (meaning that it is among my most-viewed works).
  • Note 4 = If you see an "" next to an article name, it means that it was published through Articles For Creation, which simply means that it was proofread and accepted to Wikipedia by others.
  • Note 4 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the article my best-ever created page. It will be tossed around periodically, but whatever article name this icon is next to, is special to me as it is my most notable work. There can only be one on the list as well.
  • Note 5 = if you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the content is graphic in nature. I've added this because I don't want clueless people stumbling across an extremely graphic article.

This template was kindly stolen borrowed and inspired from Johnson524's userpage, thank you Johnson! :D

For your rapid-fire creations of tornado articles that would have otherwise been forgotten or have been needed for some time (but darn it, I wanted to do Winterset!), and for bringing them to well above start quality each time. Cheers!
