New enough, long enough. Hook short enough and sourced, but written very poorly - read on. No neutrality problems found, no copyright problems found. QPQ unnecessary and image properly licensed. I'd like to see a copyedit carried out before I approve this, as both it and the hook are written very poorly indeed. If you ask the copyeditor, (s)he may submit a hook for you.--Launchballer 00:21, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Launchballer: Thanks for your kind review. I have done some copy-edit in the article. I hope that is enough. I will provide alternative hooks.
- ALT1:...that, India became independent on 15 August 1947, but Marathwada region became part of India when it was liberated on 17 September 1948?

@User:Launchballer I have edited the article a little bit, perhaps you can take a look when you are free. The hook can be corrected to ALT3: ... that Marathwada did not become a part of India until it was annexed on 17 September 1948? FreeatlastChitchat (talk) 07:01, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
- I think in accordance with the name of the article better hook can be.
- ALT4: ...that Marathwada did not become part of India until it was liberated on 17 September 1948?
- ALT5: Marathwada became part of India 13 months after independence of India? --Human3015TALK 07:13, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
