@ Cyclonebiskit: Congratulations on the new article; I myself have been impacted by much of this event. In any case, is it part of some standard or something that you put Texas before Oklahoma in the title? I would've done it the other way around myself (alphabetically, you see), but if you think this is a better title for some reason, I'll respect your decision. Dustin聽 (talk) 04:20, 26 May 2015 (UTC)
A new issue has appeared. For a few reasons, I have to question the inclusion of "tornado outbreak" in the title; most tornado outbreaks have a date range in the title, but that doesn't appear to be a good choice in this situation. Earlier in May, there was also (less significant) flooding and a tornado outbreak. Could this be a cause for confusion? Dustin聽 (talk) 02:15, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

An updated map was uploaded to Wikipedia Commons showing the 70 Texas counties included in the state of disaster declaration as of May 29, 2015: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2015-05-29_Texas-Emergency_70-County_2400x2400.png. Profitic ( talk) 15:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
This page really outlines the floods in Oklahoma. That four sentence paragraph really touches upon the thousands of people who lost everything and the billions of dollars in damage that occurred all over the state of Oklahoma. No need for a map of Oklahoma showing the counties that were under a state of emergency when the Governor issues one for the entire state. No need to post any pictures of the floods in the state of Oklahoma... Or the multiple tornadoes that destroyed homes in Moore and leveled the entire town of Bridge Creek, No need to talk about the record setting rainfall that occurred in the state of Oklahoma. You really knocked it out of the park with this one. I think you should add a few more sections talking about how Texans are a resilient people and deserve to be honored for living in the most important state affected by the recent May floods. You did a great job not mentioning Oklahoma anywhere else in the article but making sure to add Missouri, Kansas and Louisiana in your graphs. We just feel honored that you mentioned us in the title and allowed our state name to appear alongside yours during this very unfortunate Texas tragedy. Nice Work.

Look. It's pretty clear you have an "everything is bigger in Texas" mentality. How about just doing an article on the Texas flooding and let someone else do one on Oklahoma. This article is an joke and a slap in the face to the thousands of Oklahomans that have been dealing with this weeks before it reached the great state of Texas. I would suggest changing the title to more accurately reflect the article you have written, because this page has nothing to do with Oklahoma. Kryan74 ( talk) 03:06, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
if you are going to title the article "Texas and Oklahoma Flooding," Then be prepared to write and article on Texas AND Oklahoma flooding. The responsibility falls on you to research that. 鈥斅燩receding unsigned comment added by Kryan74 ( talk 鈥 contribs) 03:12, 27 May 2015 (UTC)
Since this article includes both the tornado outbreak in Mexico and the U.S. as well as the flooding, and that it was all the result of one large storm system, it seems to make the most sense to change it to this title. I just don't see any other way to incorporate the tornado outbreak and flooding into the title in a way that includes both Mexico and the US. A title such as 2015 United States-Mexico flood and tornado outbreak or 2015 North American flood and tornado outbreak just seems too vague and complicated. Pages with a similar format include October 2010 North American storm complex and January 2008 North American storm complex. Thoughts? -- Undescribed ( talk) 03:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
