- "Ugandan-born" get rid of born. According to the early life section, it looks like he IS Ugandan.
- Changed.
- Add NFL and AFL to lead.
- Added.
- Added cat
- Any later life?
- You forgot to add the PFA cite for his 5 AFL starts.
- I did? PFA is ref 1 and I read
He appeared in five games for the Avengers, all as a starter, totaling 37 tackles, four pass breakups, an interception and a forced fumble.[1][35]
- I did? PFA is ref 1 and I read
- He had 31 solo tackles and 6 assisted in the AFL. Body just says 31.
- Fixed.
- I changed the high school formatting in the infobox, not wrong though but that's the standard now so whatever.
I think that's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 19:51, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- @WikiOriginal-9: Responded. BeanieFan11 (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
- The AFL counted assists as half tackles, so I revised the infobox and body accordingly. Everything is good now. Nice work! ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 20:09, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

- ... that Wasswa Serwanga and his twin brother were the first two NFL players from Uganda?
- Source: PFR
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Society for Crypto-Judaic Studies
- Comment: Could expand his twin brother's article (Kato Serwanga) to add to the hook if needed. Might also work to have a hook on the aspect of his wealthy father narrowly surviving an attempted murder from Idi Amin and selling his possessions in exchange for a plane ticket to bring Wasswa to the U.S. (not sure how it'd be best worded though...). Also, the QPQ will be done within 24 hours.

Hi @BeanieFan11: This article, which was promoted to good article status on the 30 September, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, BLP-neutral, copyvio free, and presentable. I think the citation you've provided is a bit close to WP:OR for comfort. Could you replace it with this WaPo article or this ChimpReports article? Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 12:09, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Tenpop421: Added in the WaPo article. BeanieFan11 (talk) 22:19, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
QPQ done. Interesting hook. Good to go. Tenpop421 (talk) 22:36, 3 November 2024 (UTC)
