I'll take this as part of GARC Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:34, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable, as shown by a source spot-check. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Lead

Mention that its a part of the 2011 Super Outbreak it the lead.

I already have, although it's linked as a different name ("The tornado was part of the largest outbreak of tornadoes in recorded history"). E_F⁵ 15:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Meteorological synopsis

Seems fine

Tornado summary

Who is Anna Montgomery? Also unsourced

"After the tornado, a man would be arrested after he was found looting tornado-damaged homes in the neighborhood." seems inappropriately placed as the following line discusses events during the tornado. Maybe move to aftermath?

Aftermath

Add some prose around the economic losses.

 Done. E_F⁵ 16:18, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Cut the fatalities subheading as the section isn't long enough to justify a subsection.

 Done. E_F⁵ 16:18, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Notes and footnotes

Should the section be named references?

 Done. E_F⁵ 16:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Shouldn't footnotes be citations?

 Done. E_F⁵ 16:17, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Misc

Why is TornadoTalk reliable?

They cite all information within their summaries, eliminating OR. I'd even go as far as to call them subject experts in the tornado field, although that consensus hasn't been reached as a community. It's a relatively newer source, so we'll see. E_F⁵ 15:05, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

Earwig doesn't flag anything major

Change ref 33 to "The Chattanoogan" for consistency.

 Done. E_F⁵ 16:16, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

Images are from commons with the exception of the tornado which is a valid free use image.

Images need alttext
