The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
ALT1: ... that the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council was created to bring together the divided
Muslim community in Uganda? Source: "The Muslims who were the most divided came up with a suggestion for a united administrative body that had a unitary constitution. Most of the Muslim delegates agreed that Islamic unity in Uganda was long overdue. They gave suggestions of how their administration should be constituted. Kasozi 1985, pg 40
ALT2: ... that the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council became "the richest landlord" in Uganda after inheriting land left behind by the
Asian Muslims who were expelled by dictator
Idi Amin? Source: "When the Asians were forced to leave Uganda, the government decided that "properties belonging to religious missions of departing Asians will go to African religious missions of the same creed." As the majority of Asian properties were registered under their religious organizations and as the majority of them were Muslim, the Supreme Council by 1973 became the richest landlord in the country." Kasozi 1985, pg 42
Reviewed: [[]]
Comment: This would be my second DYK, so I don't have to do a QPQ. Additionally, the Kasozi source that I used is hard to access, so I can email it to the reviewer if so desired.
Thank you for the review! Like you said the qualifications that I have in the article are pretty much straight from one of my sources, but I thought it would've been okay since that doesn't seem like something that should be rewritten too heavily. Would it be acceptable to include the qualifications for that role word-for-word, if I put in a template like I have in
this article?
