[edit] Begin
OK, I've belatedly begun this article. Each individual game in the series is linkified, but each of those article redirects back to this article, so I will probably shortly remove those links.
Todo
- Get a logo for the series or one of the games for the info box.
- Check the game names, I only ever played F1 Challenge. They're either F1 1999 or Formula 1 1999, etc.

[edit] Grammar, Spelling, Style, Accuracy, Citations, Speculations etc.
This article could do with a severe tidy up. It doesn't read like an encyclopedia entry at all and some of the sentences don't make any sense at all due to poor grammar and/or spelling. I've made a start on it, but in some places it's difficult to see what the author was trying to say. M0thr4 14:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Citations?
There isn't a single citation in this article to support what's being said. There are whole paragraphs that either need to be deleted or supported with evidence. M0thr4 14:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Lots of cleanup needed
Actually, I very nearly suggested that this needed a full {{rewrite}}. I don't know enough about this particular game series to really overhaul the article myself (I've got F1CS-2000, but that's about it) but some problems include:
- Lack of citations as mentioned above.
- Unencyclopedic tone ("kind of small", "the latter perhaps with an extra edge" etc)
- Too much POV and editorialising.
- Far too many external links - Wikipedia is not a link repository, and we don't have to link to all (or anything like) the active sites.
- "Communities" should not be a separate section - they go under "External links", and if they don't justify a place there, they shouldn't be in at all.
- (One thing I have done is to remove a silly "NO LEECHED WORK ALLOWED" banner, which was absurdly unsuited to Wikipedia.)
- Outdatedness - "as of September 2005", for example.
- Too little coverage of games other than F1 Challenge '99-'02.
If nobody else does the work, I will try to have a go myself at some point, but it would be best if an editor more familiar with the games than me did so. Loganberry (Talk) 05:02, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
