Both of you please discuss your edits here. You appear to both be in a slow edit war. Instead of reverting without explanation (or with unhelpful edit summaries such as just "no") please discuss here so we can reach a consensus. â Blaze Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:11, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
Is the following Accuweather article, 2 long-track tornadoes confirmed amongst rare December swarm by Allison Finch, a reliable source of information for this article as well as for the 2021 Western Kentucky tornado? (See this background section for further information)
Option 1: Deprecate (blacklist from this article)
Option 2: Allow Accuweather article to be referenced in the article, without the non-reference content from sockmaster.
Option 3: Allow Accuweather article to be referenced and information being added by the sockmaster be allowed in the article.

One editor named User:Andrew5, a well-known sockmaster, has been attempted to add a specific article from Accuweather to this Wikipedia article for months. The article in question is 2 long-track tornadoes confirmed amongst rare December swarm by Allison Finch. I will link the multiple attempts below. Based on this behavior from a sockmaster (ongoing for at least 6 months) & overall community consensus to exclude the Accuweather article from the Wikipedia article, a formal discussion is needed to help determine whether or not the article and material is viable for the article(s) or should be deprecated (blacklisted) from the articles.
Sockmaster attempts (going from recent to oldest, with all accounts in question blocked): [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] (and others you can see in the edit history).
@ MarioProtIV Was there a prior discussion and consensus reached before splitting the article? Did I miss a discussion within the weather project about splitting this article? A bold split like this requires editor to follow the procedure in WP:PROSPLIT rather than an unexpected content transfer. Dora the Axe-plorer ( explore) 05:51, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Per request by Dora from the brief conversation above, I am proposing if we should split out the table into its own page. I initially did so BOLDly on the initiative that this page is getting too long, especially with the non-tornado details (aftermath, etc) which have a lot more detail. I should note that with outbreaks usually on the scale and significance (in terms of intense/violent tornadoes with this much impact and the details of the aftermath) as this one with a lot of post-outbreak detail, we have tended to split them out if the outbreak total surpasses 75 to 100 tornadoes. Arbitrary? Yes, but it seems to be more of a âsilent consensusâ that we seem to just follow on instinct, and that hasnât had any pushbacks. Additionally, for mobile users, it would be helpful to split as well since it takes quite a bit of scrolling if one is going to read just the notable tornado sections or the aftermath and non-tornadic effects.
