Numbers

Kyle1278-2 & Suckerpunch. I've tried to clean up the numbers as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Numbers and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Time of day. Couple of things I noticed. If the number involves an Imperial measure then it should always be converted to metric. I also saw this sentence from the 1999 section, "gusts of nearly 100 km/hr, and over 2 inches of". Right now I used {{convert|2|in|abbr=on|order=flip}} to get the mm amount but the input should be metric as mixing the two unit types on one line is not a good idea.

Sentence errors. The first word after the date is not the beginning of a sentence so it should not be a capital. If you want a capital then change the dates to '''July 31'''. Also I saw several "a F" and more "an F". Changed to "an F". CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 11:58, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

I have just tried to clean up the page a bit. As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting#When not to use boldface I have removed all the bold dates. It draws in the eye unnecessarily. After the date I have added the province the tornado occurred in. Doing that allowed all links to communities to drop the ", province" as the usage was inconsistent. Also I tried to multiple links to an article down to one per section (year). I tried to make sure the capitalisation was correct. So Southern Ontario but southern Manitoba. Some numbers but not all were converted. With one major exception I have tried to provide conversions for all and where the numbers were in Imperial I have flipped the result to give metric first.

I noticed that the following references named <ref name=Year1980>, <ref name=Year1981>, <ref name=Year1982>, <ref name=Year1983>, <ref name="CNTD-VT">, <ref name=Year1989>, <ref name=Year2008>, <ref name="Year2009"> all lead to the same place. They should either be merged into one or indicate which of the links on the reference they are referring to.

The last thing is the tables. I was going to convert them to km/h but when I looked at Fujita scale and Enhanced Fujita scale I noticed a problem. All the tables prior to 2013 use the speed as given in the Enhanced Fujita scale page. However, they should use the values from the original Fujita scale. The 2016 table uses the speeds from the Enhanced Fujita scale page but the descriptor is taken from the Fujita scale page. However, I think all tables before 2013 should use the left hand table at the bottom of Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) and the 2016 should use the right hand table. These are the Environment Canada values and would be what the figures in the article refer to. So the 1980 table would look like this.

Title change?

Should the title be List of Canada tornadoes and tornado outbreaks instead of List of Canadian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks? The current title seems somewhat solecistic IMO. In addition, there are other articles out there such as

List of Canada hurricanes, which have a similar style of grammar. --Undescribed (talk) 00:06, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply

List of 21st-century Canadian tornadoes and tornado outbreaks
), but for some reason this article doesn't appear to have one. I'm also a bit puzzled on the naming here, since that article was named "21st-century". These are the suggestions I can propose:

  • Support option A, iff
    WP:TITLECON. Given that this article has to specify that we are talking about "2001 through 2100", I believe that the current title is ambiguous and needs clarification. HouseBlastertalk 18:54, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

As an major contributor to the page, I would support the change in the name in order to better align it with the 21st-century counterpart. I would support any of the suggested names, however, Option c best reflects the connection between the two pages. JustinWx (talk) 03:24, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
