Wise words given to a blocked editor: This absolute adherence to the idea that your interpretation of the rules is paramount
and everyone else's input is merely an obstacle to overcome is an accurate summary of how you ended up in this position.

While Wikipedia's written policies and guidelines should be taken seriously, they can be misused.
Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies.
If the rules truly prevent you from improving the encyclopedia, ignore them.
Disagreements are resolved through consensus-based discussion, not by tightly sticking to rules and procedures.
Furthermore, policies and guidelines themselves may be changed to reflect evolving consensus. (WP:NOT)

If you came here just to insult me, I will delete your comments without a reply.
And if I wasn't involved, personal attacks clearly warrant a block.

Cookeville image

Hi ChessEric (long time, no see)! That image of the supercell is surprisingly actually of the tornado in Cookeville. The tornado was so heavily rain wrapped that it was impossible to see, hence the high death toll. Author can confirm here. Have a great Thanksgiving! :) E_F⁵ 15:27, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Then why does caption say Nashville? Say it’s in Cookeville! LOL!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too BTW! ChessEric 15:29, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
