Talk:Australian man threatens to shoot down chopper with tomato-bazooka

More material and sources are needed. For example, descriptions of the location and why the helicopter was hovering over the man's home should be added. An analysis as to whether a tomato filled bazooka could pose a serious threat the a helicopter is also needed. StuRat 18:03, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

ahh who cares it was probably some coper spying on some topless chicks at a pool.ill have a look again for more information 2night but the google news sources all had the same information. - unsigned comment from Whywhywhy'

Agreed, it's hardly worth the effort. The point of this story is the hilarious "tomato-bazooka". - Borofkin 23:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Swinging into action...
Please accept my appologies (and revert) if my edit of swang->swung counters the author's local dialect. My source for the edit was Merriam-Webster which indicates that 'swang' is considered dialectal and not in widespread formal use, nor does it appear in carefully edited prose. If it were quoted material, I would not change it, but since the scope of WikiNews readers is worldwide, I recommend more formal usage. Please don't shoot me with your tomato-bazooka!

At the moment, all articles produced appear on the front page, because the entire wiki only produces about five articles a day. When we start producing more, articles like this will be flagged such that they don't appear. - Borofkin 23:34, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
