...New enough, no copyvio issues, interesting, hook in article and followed by inline citation with hook fact. It appears slightly short of 1500 characters and need QPQ. @Nizil Shah: Shame to let this go. Ping me when expanded a little more. FYI...I came across this recently ... interesting.

- @Whispyhistory: Thanks for the review. Expanded with some additional info from new source. Now 1600+. May require some copyediting. QPQ done. -Nizil (talk) 05:35, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks...QPQ done, expanded. Please check through text...eg article says "About 1869, Wallacepur was founded"...but...reference says Wallacepur is believed to have been established ... around 1840.[1] Whispyhistory (talk) 15:15, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
- @Whispyhistory: News sources mention that it was founded in 1840 by Rev. Wallace but it is not true. The more reliable information is noted in Indian Missionary Directory (pp. 183-185) source. So I have changed it to about 1869, ... by William Beatty ... named after James Wallace. The christian mission in Ghogha itself was founded in 1844 so it is unlikely that the village was founded in 1840. News sources also says that nothing is known about Wallace but Indian Missionary Directory has the short information about his life and career. I think news reporter has not bothered much to research about the village history. Regards,-Nizil (talk) 14:33, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Give me some time to look through. @Philafrenzy: promised to help this article out too. Whispyhistory (talk) 21:26, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
Checked through. Hook in article and followed by inline citation which has hook fact. Long enough. Good detective work... Whispyhistory (talk) 07:17, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
