 * The article is neutral, will-written and adequately sourced. Hook is short enough, interesting and sourced in the article. A few issues I was unable to fix:
 * Sher Muhammad Khan redirects to a 20th century Pakistani writer. In this article Sher Muhammad Khan should be a red link to a future article of the 17th century Indian Fouzdar.
 * Sorry about the link. Now delinked.
 * Is there information who is colonel Ford mentioned in the section "Post Bobbili war"?
 * Yes, Forde was a representative of the British Raj who were operating from Bengal. I have added this inofrmation
 * Is there information who is Rayadappa, mentioned in the same section?
 * Yes, he was the son of Chinna Ranga Rao
 * "After this the image of the lord is kept at the Dola Yatra Mandapa..." - what does this mean? After what event is the image of the lord kept the Dola Yatra Mandapa and who is that lord?
 * Clarified.
 * Who is "former Queen of Bobbili" and when did she live?
 * I have deleted the part about the queen as there is no further information about when she lived.
