Talk:Western Australian emergency of March 1942

Article title, lead sentence
I notice that: So: Mitch Ames (talk) 12:29, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * The article does not have a lead sentence defining the topic ("The Western Australian emergency of March 1942 was ..."), as recommended by WP:LEADSENTENCE.
 * The fourth paragraph says that "The events ... are often referred to as the Japanese Scare of 1942" - not "... WA emergency...".
 * The reference for the term Japanese Scare of 1942 explicitly says that "the term is not specifically referred".
 * So should the article be titled "Western Australian emergency of March 1942" or should it be "Japanese Scare of 1942"?
 * Do we have a reference for the use of either or both of those terms?
 * How should we write the lead sentence to define the term used for the article title?

mitch, it would really help, rather than fill article talk pages with multiple questions that become rapidly redundant to specifically speak with the editor who created. Should, we are misnomers, and oxymoronic JarrahTree 13:42, 25 September 2016 (UTC). According to WP:TALK "The purpose of an article's talk page ... is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article..." so this would appear to be a reasonable place for my comments. Wikipedia is edited collaboratively, so the use of the plural is appropriate. If you're still actively building the article, please consider using Under construction so that editors know that they "will have to wait..." for you to finish such construction.

 * "Emergency" seems superior to me: "scare" implies that the concerns of the relevant governments, military commanders and populations were somehow incorrect. In reality, they had good reason to be concerned, as the Japanese Navy could have realistically raided the Perth area, and an outright invasion was a real possibility.
