Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty
Sheet music of "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty"
- ... that "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty" (sheet music pictured) is one of the shortest national anthems at only eight bars long? Sources: BBC News Magazine; The Independent; The Guardian
- ALT1:... that the composer of "Oh Uganda, Land of Beauty" (sheet music pictured) sued the government, alleging that it gave him UGX2,000 (less than GBP1 in 2008) as a "token of thanks" for writing the anthem? Sources: The Guardian; ENSafrica
- Reviewed: Natalie Chou
- Comment: Also open to using the music file instead of the sheet music
5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:07, 16 July 2020 (UTC).
Both hooks are cited inline and verified, and a QPQ has been done. As the less negative sounding proposal I prefer ALT0. QPQ has been done. However, according to DYKcheck the article has not actually received a 5x expansion at this time, so additional content may need to be added to meet the requirement.

- @Narutolovehinata5: Here's the version right before I expanded (373 characters long). 5× expansion means at least 1,865 characters. The article is currently at 2,209 characters. —Bloom6132 (talk) 03:14, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- Fair enough, I did a check using Wordcounter.net and it also suggests a 5x expansion. One last question before I approve this: why was the "it was translated into the 25 languages of Uganda" phrase removed? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:00, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
- @Narutolovehinata5: I didn't consider the source to be reliable. And none of those translations are official (only the English one is, per ref 8 from the Ugandan government). Can you please give the green tick now? —Bloom6132 (talk) 11:22, 17 July 2020 (UTC)
That is noted. Approving ALT0. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:40, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

- @Bloom6132 and Narutolovehinata5: Any objections to using the audio clip as the image instead of the sheet music? It's public domain and we've run several recordings recently, so the only issue would be if you had objections. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 23:21, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- No objections. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:27, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- @The Squirrel Conspiracy: No objections either. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:34, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
