message: Someone tagged this section as needing references; however, references are generally provided only if the information is not generally accepted. One does not need a reference to state that a given president of the US is an American citizen, for example. Most of the information in this section is generally accepted (check any history of Ethiopia), & there are a number of sources cited in the section as it stands. Lastly, there is no indication which statements are problematic, so adding sources might not answer the objections the tagger had. (This is one reason why adding templates to articles do not always lead to making them better articles.) Hence I removed that tag. -- llywrch (talk)
"references are generally provided only if the information is not generally accepted" - that's not actually true. References are needed for everything that is not general knowledge.

Talk:Bulahdelah tornado

message: We might as well start this discussion and solve it once and for all.
For the present time, I went ahead and removed the rating information (about being an F5) and I have removed it from the List of F5 and EF5 tornadoes as it is from a self-published source (non BoM meteorologist). Speaking of the F5/EF5 tornado list article, the Discussion about the list had a comment from myself and  about this tornado and per ChessEric’s comment, .
So now for the nitty gritty part of the discussion. The source that was being used for the F5 rating () is by  T. Eric Brown, a degreed meteorologist (major) and degreed historian (minor). The source is self-published, however, we do have self-published material from meteorologists (Like Dr. Grazulis) as sources for information. So the question is more about what to do in this situation. From what I can tell, T. Eric Brown is not an expert (unlike Dr. Grazulis) in the field, however, since they are a degreed meteorologists and historian, they do get some extra “weight” to have a self-published source be allowed. Any ideas on what to do? , , . Elijahandskip (talk) 04:20, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm reminded of the now-disappeared ExtremePlanet blog that was discussed a few years ago on the F5/EF5 list. It was self-published, but they guy seemed to know what he was talking about. It was decided that it was not sufficiently reliable. That being said WP:SELFPUB allows for material from established experts, which would certainly qualify Grazulis and Fujita. But there is still a big difference between simply having a college degree and being a well-renowned expert. The page does mention "experts" as believing this tornado to be an F5. So it may be worthwhile to contact Brown to ask for the sources on that. I'm not optimistic on that front, though, because the website hasn't been updated since 2015.

The employees may have taken cover, but the tornado was never all that close to the weather office. See the refs we cite for the tornado's path. The office was at 50th St and about 98 Ave. The tornado crossed Baseline Rd (101 Ave) in Refinery Row between the two railway overpasses just west of 17th St. That's about 2.5 km east of the weather office.
