This is a good choice of topic, Badsey is worth having an article about. It's a good start too, but you have to address the issue of WP:Sourcing.

First off, sourcing is "here's a book/article that proves/verifies this fact I just stated". Sourcing is not "hey, here's a neat link about the thing I just mentioned". So what we need is not links to AllCarIndex and whatnot, those can go in "External links" at the end. What we must have is, for example, if you say "John Smith invented the Foo Electric Car in 1958", you need a footnote to something like: "J. Johnson. History of the Electric Car. Acme Press, pg 78". That lets the reader know "if you want to verify Smith invented that in 1958, go to this book, this page, and you'll see it attested."

The good news is, Badsey got a lot of coverage in Popular Science, car mags, newspapers, etc. So it's very likely that even just looking online you can find WP:Reliable sources to cite for all the key facts. Try GoogleBooks, and also GoogleNews to check for old articles that give clear statements about Badsey that you can cite.

I've formatted a few footnotes for you as examples of how to "code" them. Give it a shot, and when ready hit "Resubmit" in the pink box when you're ready for the next review. MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
