Talk:Fireball

A burning question: Is a "Fire Ball" exactly the same as an "Energy Ball"?

Is a Fire Ball exactly the same as an Energy Ball?

Website in the United States of America (www.isitel.com/ufoenergyball.htm[2]) capturing a fire or energy ball

No. No, it's not. See, a fireball is, well, a gigantic ball of fire, whereas an energyball is apparently a blurry photograph. SnowFire 18:06, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have still not defined the deference between a fire ball and an energy ball. A blurry photograph is not an energy ball. This is not a blurry photograph it is a perfectly clean photograph and an energy ball is showing up. See the photo.

All right, seriously then. I see the problem is the link from energy ball and kinetite. I recommend you check out the old kinetite page for what you seem to be talking about; http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Kinetite&oldid=24716457 should be a good start. Note that it got the Nonsense tag, and ended up being redirected here. Now, I happen to think that it is nonsense, but if you want to make an article on it, you should make it at energy ball [[1]], not fireball. The fact that it redirects here is just bad, and I think that redirect should be removed. See, fireball is one of those simple English compound words like "doghouse" (a house of dogs) where it literally means the combination of those words: a ball of fire. You are describing balls of energy, not fire, unless your bed caught on fire after you took the photo. Hence the article should go there, not here. (Once it's in the proper place, then we can discuss whether such things are actually encylopedia-worthy. I recommend calling your local university if you ever get any actual hard evidence that these balls do anything; see the million dollar challenge run by the James_Randi_Educational_Foundation )

One other thing. Be sure to sign your posts with the four tildes (~ ~ ~ ~, except with no spaces), and you might want to consider getting a Wikipedia login as well. SnowFire 00:45, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Create article "Fireball (Videogames) or (projectile attack)"

Instead of linking to Hadouken, from Street Fighter, can some of that info be used to create an article on projectile attacks in video games, which are commonly called fireballs. Were there fireballs before Dragonball, and Street Fighter? What is the origin/history of these style moves? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.9.146 (talk) 10:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly! Why isn`t there an article on this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.14.161 (talk) 15:14, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's because you haven't written one yet. If you can find sufficient WP:Reliable sources that discuss this fascinating topic in adequate detail to meet the Wikipedia general guidelines for notability, such an article could be welcome on Wikipedia. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:45, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
