A fact from Wasswa Serwanga appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 November2024(check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Wasswa Serwanga and his twin brother were the first two NFL players from Uganda?

"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?
No articles that I could find. There's two California "Wasswa Serwanga"s on LinkedIn – one here and one here (the second one is definitely him, the first I can't tell as it doesn't let me view the whole thing). Should I add something from there?
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]
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.

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.
