Talk:Observed Trials

Naming criteria
I am trying to understand why this article is called "Observed Trails" (the American term) when almost all of the fact in the sport is dirived from the more popular European arena of the sport - and where the sport is called "Motorcycle Trials"? Secondly, calling it "Motorcycle Trials" at least says what it is - where as the term "Observed Trails" seems to refer more at present to Bicycle Trials? Suggest this whole article is moved to "Motorcycle Trials" with a redirect, awaiting the point where "Observed Trials" could either be used for the Bicycle version of the sport - or as a disambiguation page between the two versions.

 * IMHO, to me and everyone i know in the sport in the UK its just simply called "Trials", while the unmotorised version (a much smaller sport), is called "Bike Trials" or variations thereof. Obviously the term "Trials" causes confusion for theses outside the sport / motorcycling world as it tends to conjure up images of the legal system. I don't like the American term which this article is titled as i really don't think its the accurate title of my sport. I'm not convinced either (but not so opposed) to the term "motorcycle trials", but i may have to live with it as i doubt the wider community can accept just "trials" ... ???

 * I'd love to call the article "Trials" - but as an encyclopedic entry, even as an avid MCycle enthusiast, I can never envisage unfortunatly Wki calling it that! Rgds, - Trident13 18:31, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
