Talk:Slot car racing

I have taken the information relating to formal racing competition from the Slot Car entry and put it into its own article. At the moment that article must be titled Slotcar Racing, - Wikipedia would not let me use the title Slot Car Racing since that title already exists (but only as a redirect to Slot Car). I temporarily solved that by changing the article's name to Slotcar Racing, and changing Slot Car Racing to redirect to Slotcar Racing. That's awkward, since the terminology Slot Car (rather than Slotcar) is used throughout the article itself and the Slot Car article. I will get the article under the correct title, as soon as I discover a way around the "already existing article"b problem.

The large quantity of specific information on the various racing organizations, their rules, personnel and so forth was overwhelming the basic Slot Car article. For some time I have wanted to edit or remove quite a bit of that info as too detailed for the general article, but I hesitated to do so, since I am not a serious competitive racer myself. By moving the information to a specific Racing page, I'm leaving the racing info to the knowledgeable racing guys.

I would recommend that some of the organization-specific information be split off even further to new Wikipedia entries on HOPRA, UFHORA, etc., and that a list of current champions in each organization is not appropriate to Wikipedia at all, but at very least should be moved to entries on the particular organizations. Ditto with the speculation about rules changes that are being considered by the organization's leaders. This is all "newsletter" stuff, not really appropriate for an encyclopedia article.

I hope this won't make anybody too unhappy - but it was necessary. By creating the new page no work was lost; all existing information has been retained (and some of it duplicated).
