After further research, I think that this list is correct, and not the one we'd come up with before. I'll go ahead and make the changes, and I'm also going to include 2 Wisconsin tornadoes in here as well.

message: There is mention that there was one fatality in St. Peter.  Are these articles supposed to name the victims?  Gopher backer 22:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Naming victims is not necessary for these articles RyguyMN 05:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

text: That makes sense.  I updated this article (and moved the ref), feel free to adjust the Gustavus one as well.  Gopher backer 03:16, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice article. One question about the twenty people who reached safety in a church in Comfrey. Did the people escape injury when the church was destroyed? —SusanLesch (talk) 18:13, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not exactly sure about just injuries, but they did escape significant injury.  I've updated the wording to better reflect this.  thanks,  WxGopher (talk) 05:43, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Fatalities

message: NOAA acknowledges persons other than NOAA employees for providing the images of destroyed houses, cars, etc. I do not believe that they are, in fact, products of NOAA. I don't know what their copyright situation is, but it is preventing me from giving this article a proper GA review. What are your thoughts? Plasticup T/C 18:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the images should be okay....  There is a disclaimer on the NOAA sites that says anything on their page is considered in the public domain, unless stated otherwise.  This is also explained a little more on  this page. I've also run this by a couple admins in the past, I can try to dig those discussions up if you'd like as well.  WxGopher (talk) 19:31, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, that's good to know. You'll need to update the licenses (because the current one states taken or made during the course of an employee's official duties), but if they are in the public domain you shouldn't have any trouble. Plasticup T/C 19:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dead link 

message: The section on Historical Perspective seems to have a confusing mention of how this tornado was the longest continuously-on-the-ground tornado in Minnesota history, but suggests that other tornadoes had longer paths but were not on the ground continuously.  By definition, a tornado must be in contact with the ground, so this needs some clarification to be consistent with the pages on other tornadoes and on tornadoes in general.
I have sent an email to the Twin Cities NWS in attempt to clarify their information used as a major source to this article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Slincoln (talk • contribs) 23:22, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
