It's proper usage to start with the lower number.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.197.76 (talk) 02:04, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Source 

message: Somebody reverted my edit because -they- decided it wasn't significant enough.  The story has made many newspapers and has appeared on TV, this after some 50 years of the event.  That's significant.  Unless you can successfully argue otherwise, I'm going to revert it back soon.PhilOSophocle (talk) 23:28, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't care if you include it, but I have never heard of it when searching through the event's history (I am not actually including this in my revert reasoning though), you only cited two sources, and there is no way you can justify a level 2 header putting it on the same level as the actual event. If you have to have a unique header at all, please make it level 3 as a subsection of a level 2 section. In terms of actually including the information somewhere, that is not an issue I care to discuss. You would probably have to bring it up at WikiProject Severe weather Dustin (talk) 04:28, 5 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: This page, as well as two articles on the NWS website; https://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19470409-summary and https://www.weather.gov/oun/events-19470409 all have a different death toll for the event. For here it stands at greater than 181. On these two articles, it stands at 116 and 169. Why the inconsistency, and why does this article feature the highest death toll, when it's common practice to take a middle ground? AVeryWiseWolfy (talk) 06:43, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: To clarify: The 181(+) number is from various sources and articles, including articles and books used in the reference section (ie. Thomas P. Grazulis' website The Tornado Project and his research book Significant Tornadoes). Also, tornadoes and tornado outbreaks pre-1990 (especially before 1970 - and more so pre-1954) had a risk of being inaccurate the higher the death count (especially double and triple digit numbers). And as to your links: The first one is mostly displaying a retyping of a storm report released just days after the event, and the other one with the "116" death count - that the (minimum) count of the deaths in Oklahoma alone (the higher death counts are reporting deaths in both Oklahoma and Texas).--Halls4521 (talk) 23:07, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
