White Rock Airport in Dallas, Texas

Apparently there was a location referred to as "White Rock Airport" in East Dallas as recently as 1974. I found it while researching a tornado in Garland and, yes, it is officially referred to in a government (NCEI) source. Storm Events Database entry 10134059 over Dallas County, Texas. According to (what I believe to be) a user-generated type source, it closed in 1974 shortly after this. Not sure where this fits into Wikipedia, or if a better source than these two is needed, as I'm not a frequent editor in the field of aviation, but I thought I'd let you know because White Rock Airport is a red link and it's not at List of airports in Texas, and thought it was fitting given how you seem to have an aviation interest and made the article on the 2015 tornado in Garland.

Hey MemeGod

I would recommend changing your display signature to something a little bit less WP:billboard-y. It feels a bit over the top to me. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 02:21, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I already have. :) MemeGod _chat 13:04, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry man, but I was actually referring to the current signature. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:29, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

How is my current signature billboard-y? Genuine question. MemeGod _chat 18:40, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I’m no expert; but @Kingsmasher678 might be referring to the shadow under your signature. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

_{BTW Hurricane Clyde 🌀, I kind of stole your color for my own sig. Sorry! Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:43, 2 November 2024 (UTC)}

Don’t worry @Kingsmasher678; I stole the bold lettering and superscript from @Ponyo’s signature (but used a different color and username). Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 02:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

That's what I was going for. It makes it very hard for me to read your name, that's all. It's not that big of a deal, just thought I'd let you know. Kingsmasher678 (talk) 18:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah, I'll fix it then. Thanks for bringing it up! :) MemeGod _chat 18:46, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

I have to agree in that you probably should change it. It is very difficult for me to read it. I would recommend removing the shadow background. Just modifying your signature to what I am going to display below should be fine: (Example signature: MemeGod _chat)

Unofficial summary for the GAN nomination on Tornado outbreak and derecho of April 1–3, 2024

I am not assessing the GAN because I was heavily involved when I was an IP; but I will post an unofficial preliminary summary of what I see for your information; based on the GA criteria; that way you will know what might need to be improved.

• Criteria 1 (Well-written): Seems like it may pass; I don’t see any obvious issues; but I haven’t looked at it in enough detail to say that with certainty.

• Criteria 2 (Verifiability): I don’t see any issues with that category. Everything that I know of is cited.

• Criteria 3 (Broad scope): Would likely pass.

• Criteria 4 (Neutral): Would probably pass.

• Criteria 5 (Stability): Would almost certainly pass.

• Criteria 6 (Pictures): Would likely pass.

Looking at that; and again this is unofficial, and should only be looked at as a general summary. But I see at least 4 of the 6 points passing almost certainly. The only ones I’m a little iffy on are points 1 and 2. But they may be GA level too. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I have some personal issues right now, but I'll be sure to implement your feedback soon. :) MemeGod _chat 18:41, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Whoever does the official GA review will probably tell you what (if anything) needs to be improved. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 18:42, 2 November 2024 (UTC)

Artwork at the Pentagon

Hi there - While reviewing new pages, I came across the page you created on Artwork at the Pentagon. While an interesting article, right now it appears to be WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH; I'm not seeing any reliable, independent, secondary sources that discuss the Pentagon's art displays and/or collections as a group. I see only primary sources on individual artworks and a couple links to secondary sources on individual works (e.g. the 9/11 Memorial). Since you're a fellow New Page Reviewer, I wanted to give you a chance to add secondary sources discussing this topic before I nominate the article for deletion. Thanks and let me know if you have questions or thoughts. (Please ping in replying as I am not watching your talk page.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Eh, just go ahead. I'm not in the mood to have a rebuttal, and I'm not sure why I made the incomplete list with no set inclusion criteria. It clearly isn't notable, which is my fault. EF⁵ 21:42, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Artwork at the Pentagon

The article Artwork at the Pentagon has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG by being based on WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH. (The page creator agrees on lack of notability and declined to contest so I believe this will count as a non-controversial PROD.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Dclemens1971 (talk) 22:33, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

I'll just move it to draftspace and CSD, since that'll make it easier. :) EF⁵ 22:49, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Image

I would highly recommend changing the tornado picture on your user page to a different one; because there is a Commons deletion request on that particular image due to the copyright status. Hurricane Clyde 🌀^{my talk page!} 05:39, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Done, thanks for pointing that out. :) EF⁵ 14:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Rapid name changes.

Here there,

It would be quite helpful if you could pick a name and stick with it. It is very confusing, as I have known you under all of them and I always think it's a different person at first. While you are a very unique and valuable editor, one piece of advice that I would give would be to settle down into things a little bit more. Stuff like a username is very important to building and maintaining a reputation, and I would like to see you succeed. If you do, I truly believe you will be at least an admin one day.

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 06:15, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "settling things down". The sole reason I didn't change my username earlier is because the "MemeGod" moniker stuck. It's not that hard to just click on someone's signature and see who they are (and I do list my former names here for that reason). I do thank you for your kind words, though, I do try to do my best. :) EF⁵ 13:08, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Scratch that, I've made a promise to myself that I'll retain this username for at least a year. EF⁵ 22:46, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Jarrell Tornado Up Close.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jarrell Tornado Up Close.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rlandmann (talk) 05:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

We now have a free image of this tornado on the Commons as File:Jarrell tornado 1997.jpg --Rlandmann (talk) 05:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Nice! I'm glad we actually have a single free image, I know the entire deletion process must've been hell on Earth, so great job.  :) EF⁵ 13:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. More reflections on the process to come. It's been a bit of a surreal experience corresponding directly with a couple of eyewitnesses to this event, including someone who knew Scott Beckwith quite well at the time (although not Mr Beckwith himself at this point...) --Rlandmann (talk) 00:18, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh, I can imagine, I mean they saw what is possibly the most powerful weather event in recorded history. A bit off-topic, but I still use AfC for my tornado articles, just like you said I should several months ago. :) E_F5 13:10, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
