For you userpage stalkers, feel free to read my year in review, which I am hoping to finish tomorrow. :)
"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
Hi, I'm EF5 (formerly MemeGod27 and Sir MemeGod). I usually write about galaxies, tornadoes (I mean, obviously) and a bunch of other random things. I've been here since February 2024, and in that time have gotten a teensy bit done (see below). Have a great day!
Although I'm assuming most people think that the ":)" at the end of every message I send is automated, it isn't. I manually add it every time. :)
I have AutoWikiBrowser rights. (I usually just add categories).
I am IPBE (IP Block Exempt), which I had to request 4 separate times due to UTRS issues (at least from what I've been told).
My signature is E F 5 18:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC).
My user page somehow gets an average of 2,000 weekly pageviews, which is absolutely absurd.
Yes, I may have been the indirect cause of the purge of over 1,000 weather-related images on Wikimedia Commons, a massacre that continues to this day. :)
I was an extremely cringy editor from March to April of 2024. My signature was horrible, I would always say "lmao" and "lol" in professional discussions, among other stuff. For those of you who I haven't seen in months, yes I've changed, presumably for the better.
I am an AfC reviewer. It's gone pretty good so far, but we'll see how long it takes for me to get an angry talk page message.
I maintain a list of my ten personally "scariest" tornadoes, see here.
In the early morning hours of February 28, 2024, my high school was nearly hit by an EF2 tornado! Luckily, it didn't kill or inure anyone, but you can see the path on the ArcGIS Damage Viewer.[1]
Articles I've created (416 at last count)
Note: Scroll all the way down to see what the icons mean
Note 1 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that I am particularly fond of how it turned out. They are also my best works! :)
Note 2 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that I created the article and nominated it for Did You Know. If you want to see the hook, then click on the article and go to its' talk page.
Note 3 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the page has over 5,000 monthly pageviews (meaning that it is among my most-viewed works).
Note 4 = If you see an "" next to an article name, it means that it was published through Articles For Creation, which simply means that it was proofread and accepted to Wikipedia by others.
Note 4 = If you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the article my best-ever created page. It will be tossed around periodically, but whatever article name this icon is next to, is special to me as it is my most notable work. There can only be one on the list as well.
Note 5 = if you see an "" next to an article name, that means that the content is graphic in nature. I've added this because I don't want clueless people stumbling across an extremely graphic article.
This template was kindlystolen borrowed and inspired from Johnson524's userpage, thank you Johnson! :D

The Special Barnstar
Thank you so much for creating the article on the Austin J. Tobin Plaza that was formerly on the site of the old WTC. I have seen you around here and there, and it is always great interacting with people editing in the NYC/9-11/World Trade Center article-space. Cheers! — ThatCopticGuyping me!

I really, really appreciate your genuine commitment to learning the "tools of the trade". Your energy and enthusiasm are great assets and your understanding of how to use sources is rapidly getting there. Thank you for your patience and resilience.

Thanks for making those articles for "Weather of YYYY"! I worked on a bunch of them, but just ran out of steam keeping that up, so I appreciate you continuing those efforts. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 04:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Welcome back Sir MemeGod. I see you've added a "Sir" to your name, so in the spirit of being fancy, here's a cup of tea to welcome you back into the editing spirit. ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 20:14, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
Afd to ANI in 2 hours, that's a little impressive. Well, considering the title of the article, what can you do. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:40, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I don't remember if we've interacted directly here on on Discord, but I was sad to see that you're feeling discouraged. I've been impressed with your efforts on those lists of artworks. I think it's natural for interest in Wikipedia to ebb and flow, as it would with any hobby; I mean, I kind of took a wikibreak for over a decade! (And another one for around a year.) I do hope you'll be feeling enthusiastic again soon!
Thank you for participating in the October 2024 GA backlog drive. Your contribution (4 points total) helped reduce the backlog considerably! Here's a token of our appreciation. —Ganesha811 (talk) 00:05, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
