I'm going to be reviewing this. Right off the bat I'm seeing some major issues. Details to follow.

I'm going to have to fail this. There are large unreferenced sections (note the "Overview", the second paragraph of "Mark I Daleks", and the last paragraph of "Mark II Daleks", for starters), huge reliance on in-universe fiction (episodes, books, etc.) for sourcing, not to mention the Dalek Autopsy and Dalek6388 websites, which are fansites and thus are not considered a reliable source. Reference formatting is erratic, too: date formatting is both of the "10 March 1973" and "1973-04-07" variety. More real-world information about the creation and propagation of these character variants is required. The article needs to be completely overhauled to adhere to Wikipedia's guidelines regarding writing about fiction, as well as dispense with all the sourcing to fansites, before it can pass GAN.
