I chose this article because I play Ultimate Frisbee. It was interesting to read and I felt that I was interested enough in the topic to learn more and make meaningful contributions.
The introduction to the article (lead-in I think it's called?) includes a section about the physics of a flying disc, which I think is interesting and appropriate, but could be moved to its own section.
I also found an article written by a Physics Department member from Mount Allison University in Canada that mentions upside-down pie tins being used as Frisbees as far back as 1871.
In 1871, Yale students found entertainment in tossing the upside-down empty pie tins from a nearby bakery named The Frisbie Pie Company.
Early versions of the Frisbee date back to 1871, when Yale students tossed around empty pie tins from a nearby bakery named The Frisbie Pie Company. [1]
I also intend to add some pictures to the Disc Sports section of the corresponding sport.
