Formula 1 (board game)
[edit]- ... that the cardboard speedometers used in the early 1960s Waddingtons' board game Formula 1 are branded SMITHS in that company's typeface of the era?

Created by Arb (talk). Self nominated at 17:27, 10 January 2015 (UTC).
Article is new enough, long enough, neutral, and free of close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism. However, most of the article is not cited by inline sources and the source for the hook is the editor's interpretation of a photograph. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 16:45, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
- Fair points and good to get critical eyes on the article. Have added inline sources to the section on official play; the rest seems to be covered (one reference at the start of a list being sufficient, is it not).
Can't do much about the original hook; it's self evident but nonetheless...Have added an additional reference for the original hook but still somewhat tenuous. How about:
- ALT1:... that Formula 1 is a motor racing themed board game originally published by Waddingtons in 1962?
- ALT2:... that the cardboard speedometers used in the early 1960s Waddingtons' board game Formula 1 are branded SMITHS in the company's typeface?
- Chatboards and self-published websites are not reliable sources. --Hirolovesswords (talk) 00:04, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
