I've been thinking a bit on moving this page to a different title, but I am considering two possible titles; either 2011 Smithville tornado, to maintain consistency with other tornado article titles, or 2011 Smithville–Shottsville tornado. I know that Cyclonebiskit previously moved this page away from a title that mentioned Shottsville. Smithville was indeed the main story of this tornado but, nonetheless, nearly a third of the fatalities were in Shottsville, which is significant. TornadoLGS ( talk) 20:46, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Communication with NWS for reasons not about this tornado indicated that something(s) in this “are unconfirmed or outright internet lore”. I went ahead and added a factual accuracy template to the article and I’ll start trying to figure out what is the inaccuracy. I know one source is dead and has a broken archived URL, so maybe its something related with that. Elijahandskip ( talk) 15:56, 27 December 2022 (UTC)
Was alerted off-Wikipedia (by multiple people) that the sentence A few homes were swept from their foundations with such force that the anchor bolts were ripped out of the slab, leaving pockets of missing concrete along the foundation perimeter
is unsourced and (from what I was told) untrue. I am going to do some digging into it to either find a source or remove the information.

Pictures indeed exist of this EF5 tornado, and I would like to forward this photo of the tornado at its peak strength. The picture of EF5 damage can be kept, but perhaps should be moved into the summary.

This article currently carries a picture of the New Wren EF3, which was a direct predecessor to the Smithville EF5. It is my suggestion that a different picture must be approved, as while this is a tornado from the same storm, it is not the Smithville EF5. Aquario ( talk) 20:29, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
Hey United States Man, you probably missed it, but that is the Smithville tornado. The previous image which was validly removed was renamed. JoleBruh uploaded the new image to the exact name of the original image, which was renamed. Do you have another reason for it to be removed, because the original reason was already resolved prior to your removal. The Weather Event Writer ( Talk Page) 06:32, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
