 * Symbol question.svg Article is new, long enough, no copyvio issues. The hook is well-cited and interesting although I would adjust the hook slightly to read like this :
 * ALT1: ... that Baloke, a small village in Punjab, India, is the birthplace of Satnam Singh Bhamara - the first Indian to be drafted into the National Basketball Association?

 * Writing "National Basketball Association" in full is better as not everyone knows what the NBA could be referring to. Jon Kolbert (talk) 14:56, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * yes I think ALT1 is better. Thank you.  FITINDIA   15:32, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Perfect. QPQ done, hook is good to go. Jon Kolbert (talk) 15:53, 18 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg please address the clarification tag that I added. I edited the page for English grammar; please also check that I didn't add/erase something by mistake. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 20:48, 25 October 2017 (UTC)
 * thank you for the edit, looks much better now. I have added the citation that was required. Thank you.  FITINDIA   03:51, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * thank you. While you quoted the source accurately, the sex ratios don't make sense. A ratio is a figure like 1:1 (one out of one), not a single number like 905. Unless this figure means 905 out of 1000? Perhaps you have a different source for the average sex ratio and child sex ratio? Yoninah (talk) 08:49, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * yes the figures are out of 1000. Thank you for pointing that out. I have added it to the article.  FITINDIA   08:59, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thanks. Wow, India has so many more males than females? Restoring tick per Jon Kolbert's review. Yoninah (talk) 09:06, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
