Dax Rush[edit]

Can I please get help with reviewing this article - as it is my first... How can I upload a picture? Thanks!

I'll take a look at the article and leave some notes. You can upload a picture through WP:UPLOAD. Let me know if you need help with any of it. Ocaasi c 14:40, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That was a quick reply! Much appreciated! TM

No problem. You did a very nice job laying out the basic structure of the article. It's mainly missing supporting secondary sources which discuss the car's significance, review its performance, compare it to other models, and explain who are the kinds of people who use it and like it. I'd look for newspapers, magazines, trade journals, industry publications, and expert blogs to round out the coverage. Otherwise, I don't see any glaring problems and it's much better than typical first drafts, to be honest. You might try looking for some other niche car brand articles and comparing them to get ideas about content and format. You'll probably want to use an infobox, which lets you lay out quick facts in the top right of the page. WP:INFOBOX has some details. Find the one for either Infobox car or Infobox car brand and you'll be good. Let me know if you have more questions. Also, sign your posts with ~~~~. that's standard and leaves your name as well as the timestamp. Cheers, Ocaasi c 15:32, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up the formatting and layout. It looks standardized now, which is good. It needs to have the reviews integrated into the article, and those reviews should be from journalists or industry experts rather than car afficianados. You can also move in-text references to after the punctuation, like ...sentence.[1]

I'd like to see you taker a similar niche car article and just flesh out any gaps here you notice in the content and formatting. Usually picking a more popular or mainstream article is wise, but not one so popular it will have entirely different sections to deal with. Also, please read WP:PLAIN and WP:SIMPLE while you're getting your bearings around here. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, Ocaasi c 14:24, 25 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. It is hard to find any more reviews on this car. I will keep on looking and add along the way. Your advice and quick replies are highly appreciated.Wiki Thomas 14:36, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
