Fictional tornadoes

Hi. I just saw your edit to your userpage where it appears that you intend to write about fictional tornadoes. I just want to nip this in the bud and say that Wikipedia is not the place for that sort of thing. I would suggest checking out the Hypothetical Tornadoes Wiki instead.

See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 22:32, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey KyleTastic. I am new to Wikipedia, I wanted to create a page for my fictional tornado from my EAS Scenario. I liked the page of Moore and I have always wanted one. Is there a reason this is against the rules? WXSharkius (talk) 22:38, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Please see WP:HOAX and WP:NOTWEBHOST. TornadoLGS (talk) 22:41, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:2025 Mankato tornado

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as Draft:2025 Mankato tornado, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please do not create, maintain or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia. If you are interested to know how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements already in Wikipedia – and, if possible, correct them. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Continued disruption will be met with sanctions, which could include a block from editing. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:24, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
