Hey Sainsf, thanks for taking on this review. I'm not actually the one who nominated this article, though the person who did, UserNumber, has very kindly agreed to let me take over their role here. I actually wrote this article and so am really familiar with the subject, so hopefully there shouldn't be any issues in that regard. I hope you don't mind this arrangement?

Awesome! Looks like these are mostly easy fixes which shouldn't be too bad to deal with, though that last one may take a bit longer. I'll hit you up when I'm done. Thanks again! Alivardi(talk)13:37, 10 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Just finished! Though it did take me longer than I thought it would. I've left a note beside a couple of your suggestions and I was hoping to get your thoughts? Thanks. Alivardi(talk)14:34, 18 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Duplinks - quite a few. Use this tool to find and remove them.

Sourcing - looks decent. Please add dois for journal articles, and locations and ISBNs for books wherever possible.
Done
Prose and coverage
May be link "medieval" to something like Medieval India?
Done
Say "AD" after century and years consistently throughout the article (also see infobox)
I'm worried the wording sounds a bit clunky if AD is used throughout the article, e.g. Muhammad Turani, who lived at the close of the 14th century AD. Turani, following a family dispute in his native Iran, migrated to the Indian subcontinent in 1384 AD. I was hoping that mentioning that the kingdom was medieval in the lead would be enough to remove the necessity of this. What do you think?
The lead should include more important details of the main text. Try to follow the style of this FA, Macedonia (ancient kingdom).

Not sure "tiger-infested forests" is a good term. Forests are the main habitat of tigers and they are not like vermin there.
Done
It has been suggested that the Pratapgarh Kingdom, established centuries later Centuries after 15th century? But wasn't it founded in 1489? I think the years should be mentioned clearly.
Done
received its name from Pratap Singh and the town he had founded Repeated detail
Done
Alternatively, the name may have come from the first ruler of the state, the Muslim Malik Pratap Looks better at the end of the first para
Done
Pratap Singh later founded a new town which he named Pratapgarh I think it should be clarified that the timeline of the kingdom does not include the rule of the early Hindu rulers, as I mistook it for that at the beginning.
Done
The historian's picture should be next to the section where he is first mentioned
I was actually intending that the focus of the image be the stone fragment, which is mentioned in the paragraph beside it. However, I can now see that this wasn't made obvious in the caption, so I've reworded it to make it more clear.
fearing the response of the Sultan of Bengal "wrath" sounds better than "response"
Done
Say "zamindar" or "Zamindar"
Done
Call the historian Chaudhury in all later mentions in the main text once you have taken his full name
Done
Say "professor" (without "P")
Done
Introduce B.C. Allen
Done
Is there no information we can include on other aspects of the kingdom such as culture, society and institutions (see the sections in the FA above for example)? What about the legacy?
Done
From the newly added portions:
Link Khasi (say Khasi people for clarity, like Kuki people) and Karimganj
Done
"tunkal" is most probably a foreign term and should be italicized
