I've finally gotten around to rewriting this page, see User:Duozmo/Time_attack. I know that my new content is shorter, but I think that's for the best, and I'm happy to hash things out with anyone that's interested. I will put this new content up no sooner than Nov 27, even if I don't hear from anyone. For some background on why I wanted to rewrite this article, see the merge proposal at Talk:Speedrun#Merge_proposal_for_Time_attack. --Duozmo 14:34, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
- There are a couple of things I would change in that proposed text. For example, is time attacking really less popular than speedrunning? I doubt it, since anyone can use a game's built in time attack mode, whereas speedrunning usually requires additional emulation/recording equipment or software. Personally I'm fairly happy with the wording of the article as it is, but there are a few things I do prefer about your proposal, which I'll incorporate. It is past the 27th, after all. :) --Nick R 15:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Done it now. Let me know what you think, but there are still some problems - I think the article needs a better structure, with some section headings; it's not very good having the contents menu halfway down the page! --Nick R 16:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry I haven't responded for so long. I set a reminder to myself but forgot to have it trigger an alarm, and the date just sailed by without me noticing. I think what you've done here is better than what I have. I'll take a second look when I have a little more energy, but at the very least it's a major improvement over what used to be.

- I do not believe that NASA Time Trials should be mentioned on this page for Time Attack, at least not in the main body of discussion. Time Trials are not Time Attacks. There are very distinct differences between the two forms of Motorsport competition. Users looking to find information on Time Attack will be confused and misled if they attend a NASA Time Trial event looking for a Time Attack event. NASA does not organize Time Attack events, which is what this Wikipedia page is supposed to be discussing.--Chezterr (talk) 22:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedrun external links template
I've started a discussion at Template talk:Speedrun articles external links regarding whether the game-specific section should be included in the template, or whether the links there should only appear on the individual games' articles. Please post your thoughts on that talk page. --Nick R 10:10, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
