Talk:Foo fighter

General issue

First I want to say that it's great to have an article on the Foo Fighter topic in tinWiki, and it's great that contributors are improving the article. :-)

I frankly haven't read this article, yet, and so my comment just relates to a very tiny little issue, so this is not a comment on the whole article, but is a comment on something that applies generally to many articles. I always get caught up in this style of phrasing, so I'll just express what I think about this article's first sentence as it is right now. What I'm thinking is, this isn't an article about the name "Foo Fighter", this is an article about Foo Fighters. Not the name, but the phenomenon.

If there is any mention of the name as such, it should be a kind of "oh, and by the way". For example, the first sentence right now reads "Foo Fighter is the name given to the unknown fireball-like phenomena that was reported by Allied pilots over Germany towards the end of WWII." From my point of view, the sentence should instead read something like "Foo Fighters, named after such-and-such, are the unknown fireball-like phenomena that was reported by Allied pilots over Germany towards the end of WWII."

Just want to say I didn't quite realize this page was empty, and that these recent contributions actually created all that is here now. Good work. Optimist 12:30, 22 June 2008 (CDT)
