Talk:Kite (Styrofoam-only)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For keeping this article: 1. Many citations will be given to verify the article's points. 2. A few sites simply mention that there exists Styrofoam-only kites. That is far insufficient for an encyclopedia. What will be developed here will not be redundant, as where the type of kite is mentioned, those other article have not proper room or focus to give the visitors an encyclopedic presentation that the article deserves. 3. Since hobbyists, teachers, students involve in Styrofoam-only kite making and flying, the article is appropriate. The users will use and contribute to the progress of the article.

The topic is notable as Styrofoam-only kites have been real products of commerce, use a unique material as the density is low and the structure is relatively rigid. There is commercial and recreational interest in Styrofoam-only kites.

The special-material kite is not only a challenge for makers, but the result has some unique qualities of lightness, low-costness, and repairability.

This article will be advanced with verifiable citations for are contentious points.

[edit] Correction of focus and terms needed

http://www.dow.com/styrofoam/what.htm There is a serious need to work a distinction of a common generic error of terms. White expanded polystyrene cups and plates are NOT Styrofoam. There are at least two materials that are the article's intent, then. 1. Protected tradenamed blue Styrofoam 2. EPS

There is an error in the article in the introduction. There are errors that do not face the above distinctions adequately. Some solution to a public error and this article's error needs to be worked. Joefaust (talk) 23:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
