Micheal Kaluba I added a hook but it is not great - if you would like a different hook please fill in ALT1 above Chidgk1 (talk) 07:01, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
ArsenalGhanaPartey I am not reviewing but I can suggest more hooks if needed as I think this is Micheal Kaluba's first submission for DYK - was not sure if you are reviewing as you wrote below comment line - would you like to continue review? Chidgk1 (talk) 07:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
New enough and long enough. First-time nominee, QPQ exempt. The hook is fine (I wouldn't have associated glaciers with Uganda myself). Unfortunately, there is a real need for copyediting. I have requested a copyedit at GOCE and will not approve this page until that is done. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 01:50, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie:, copyedit complete. I have added a free-use image to the nom and main page. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:43, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the ping and added image, Maury Markowitz. Some of the tables were messy from the source and I had to fix them. I see an issue I will leave for Micheal Kaluba to fix before approval: Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:56, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
- The paragraphs ending in "All these landslides are due to unusually prolonged rains." and "are the key players instituted by the government to managing and building climate resilience." do not end in inline citations, as DYK requires. The latter's citations are just links to the agencies—we'd need a citation that talks about them in the context of climate.

@Sammi Brie: All addressed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 13:52, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
Very, very nice work. Thanks to Maury Markowitz for shepherding this one through at the end. Glad to be able to approve such a broad-concept Africa article for DYK. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:20, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
