  • 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)
  • Template:Ping 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)
