Images

• File:Idi_Amin_cropped.jpg isn't there a better quality photo about Adi Amin at that time?
  • None that are indisputably public domain.

Sources

• Ref 51 hasn't an access-date.
  • Added.
• Ref 56, same as above.
  • Added
• Ref 71, no link to the website?
  • Ref 71 is a book citation.
• Some books have no location, why is that so?
  • Locations added.
• Try to standardise the hyphens in the ISBNs.
  • Hyphenated.
• Kamazima Google Books' title shouldn't have an URL to the book itself. Because Google Books doesn't give us a preview.
  • Removed.
• Kamazima other book's ISSN is dead on my screen.
  • Worldcat doesn't have it, but it's correct according to the publications' website.
• Hooper Google Books' title shouldn't have an URL to the book itself. Because Google Books doesn't give us a preview.
  • Removed.
• This is really strange. Roberts' link goes to the "Politics and Violence in Eastern Africa: The Struggles of Emerging States" book not Roberts' title?
  • That's because Roberts wrote the chapter "The Uganda–Tanzania War, the fall of Idi Amin, and the failure of African diplomacy, 1978–1979" that was published in that compilation book. I've changed the url parameter so it links the book, not the chapter.

Infobox

That's anything from me. I'll place it on hold. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 13:57, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
