I was browsing various topics on Wikipedia and happened to find this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_piecing
Someone with more expertise than I have on this, please get in there and clarify the difference between paper foundation piecing and English paper piecing, such as is used to make Grandmother's Flower Garden designs. I know the difference, but I'm not sure I could write it up with authority for Wikipedia. There is also mention of using "heavy weight paper" for foundation piecing, and that probably needs to be corrected or clarified, too. The article as of this time is not up to the usual standards on Wikipedia.
Please note, if you come across my words here at some later date, the article may have been improved by then. In any case, this is not meant as a criticism of anyone, but just a request to have accurate and more detailed information put out there for the benefit of the general reader.
