GA review

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

An interesting article which is worthy of expansion, but which suffers from a lack of published information.

Is it reasonably well written?
A. Prose quality:

B. MoS compliance:
Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
A. References to sources:
The problem is lack of sources.

B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
The problem is lack of sources.

C. No original research:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. Major aspects:
As this is a fort article there should be some consideration of the layout of the fort and how it was used to defend its location. This information is unpublished, even in primary sources.

B. Focused:
Is it neutral?
Fair representation without bias:
Is it stable?
No edit wars, etc:
Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
it would be nice if this article could be expanded sufficiently to make GA. Unfortunately this is unlikely in the near future as there is no published information that could be used to expand this article. What appears in this article considerable exceeds the single paragraph in Scholberg (1995) Fortress Portugal in India: A Photographic History of the Portuguese Forts of India.
