[edit] Contradiction?
This article claims that Leefe Robinson shot down a Zeppelin, whilst Leefe Robinson explicitly makes the claim that the airship in question was not in fact a Zeppelin. -- g026r 15:47, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- The trouble is that Zeppelin is often used to refer to any rigid airship. I'm more inclined to trust the Leefe Robinson page, as that has rather more references and gives more details than simply saying the shot-down airship was "a Zeppelin". One could perfectly well substitute "airship" or "dirigible" for "Zeppelin" in this article, as that would still convey the same information (nobody's disputing that it was a rigid-framed airship!) while avoiding possibly inaccurate assumptions. If I had any of the references listed for Leefe Robinson I'd check them and make a proper determination, but sadly I don't. 86.11.124.189 12:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm just going to change it to airship (if it hasn't been already); it's a sufficient umbrella term.--The4sword 18:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

- More serious perhaps is that the date is different! The B.E.2 article is poor - for instance there is no differentiation between the B.E.2a, the B.E.2c and the B.E.2e (the main variants) and there are several errors of fact. This needs rewriting.(Soundofmusicals 20:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC))
