Plans for rewriting the Cresta Run page.

[edit]

This article is poorly written and unstructured. The lack of quality diminishes and undermines the Cresta Run's notability in its role in the creation of Bob and Skeleton, as well as the evolution of winter tourism. The article lacks sources and possesses inaccuracies regarding content.

The lead section is muddled and contains a miscommunication of information surrounding the nature of the run; specifically relating towards the differences between Modern Day Skeleton and Cresta Riding - the distinction has to be made clearly for the whole article to be read in context. The lead contains far too much information which is not relevant to the lead and should be included in other sections. The Lead shall be shorter, more precise and explain why it is notable.

Structure is muddled at the moment. There are aspects of the text which are included in one section which would be better suited in another. e.g. text in “The Run” section which would be better suited in the historical aspect. Differentiating between the sporting & engineering aspect of the run & the club which is intrinsically linked to it. It would be better to make clear what the relationship between the two actually is so the article is clearer.

Clarity is key for a subject which has much of its own terminology and possesses strange traditions. This article is not very clear. The Notability of the article will not be made adequately clear unless the article or content itself is clearly expressed for all to see why the subject in question is notable. The content should be reorganised in its structure and additional necessary detail should be added. The article requires re-citing from a wider range of sources. Whether it be news articles or books which recount the history of the run itself.

Better images should be used.
