Idi Amin

Please, back "facts" with references. And, Idi Amin did not die "on the run"; he had lived comfortably in Saudi Arabia for decades before he died. --Ezeu (talk) 15:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

wrong, his home country did not want him., he was wanted man there & around the world

Thanks for your efforts in providing a reference for your edits; however, what's really needed here is a specific reference to a reliable source for each edit, rather than a general link to a website's "search for articles". I recommend Wikipedia's guide to referencing for beginners, which should give you a good starting point. After that, you should check out the material on citing sources, which is more in-depth and should give you a better sense of how citations work and what rules editors should follow.

Once you've got a specific reference from a reliable source for each of the facts you'd like to add to this page, take a look at the way that references are used in the rest of the article; you'll see that they use the standard Wikipedia footnote format, along with the citation template. The link for the citation should be part of the text, rather than part of the edit summary, and using these templates will allow you to do that. Format your citations using these guidelines, and your edits won't be removed for lack of sources.

sources were given but u removed it saying its already there!

You need to supply citations to reliable sources that back up each of your claims. The single source which you supplied in your most recent edit doesn't mention any of the following claims you've added :

1. That human rights groups have not claimed less than 200,000 people killed as a result of Amin's regime.
2. That President Mobutu forbade Amin to return to Zaire.
3. That Amin was removed from life-support, causing his death (though the source does point out that he was -on- life-support, it's a completely different matter if his death was caused by being removed from life-support).
4. That his grave is unmarked.
5. That he was buried "without ceremony."

You need to provide at least one citation to a reliable source that specifically applies to each of those claims. Please take a look at how other claims in the article have been referenced with citations. Your citation should follow that format (ie, relevant links should use the <ref/> syntax and should be "in-line," directly following the text that they are backing up.

well if he was for such a long time, of course he was removed. also if you read any article you will find simple grave, buried fast, ceremony, quietly, it already says in the article, so that means without fanfare, start using basic logic!

you can find reference on burial by search article: idi amin died like chicken, meets his maker

The bottom line is, known in logic for ages... If P is P then P must be that same P.

Same premise, same conclusion, no matter if its inductive or deductive reasoning u need2learn2use!

GA reassessment of Idi Amin

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found some concerns with the article which you can see at Talk:Idi Amin/GA1. I have placed the article on hold whilst these are fixed. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 17:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
