The Malay Archipelago[edit]
- ... that in The Malay Archipelago, Wallace is greeted by 50 exuberant Papuan Ké Islanders (pictured), naked but for shells and Cassowary plumes?
- Reviewed: Vito Alessio Robles
- Comment: (Expanded 12x). Wallace died 100 years ago (7 November 1913 but there are events all this year) so this could be treated as a Centenary piece. (Hook is in Chapter 29)
5x expanded by Chiswick Chap (talk). Self nominated at 15:21, 21 March 2013 (UTC).
This substantial article is an approximately ten-fold expansion started on 21st March. This means it is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain and the hook is referenced to an offline book source which is accepted in good faith. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:58, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
