Hi
I see you used WCW to remove a wikilink from Barker College here [1]. The replaced link is not exactly the same, because of a difference in case. So the link now goes through a disambiguation page. My understanding is that it shouldn't go through the disambiguation page. Can you please clarify what should be happening here?

Hi, I'm wondering if you know or can find out about a hijacking which seems to have been wiped from history. I know that it happened as my parents and sister were all on the flight. I believe they were flying back to Zambia from the far east and Australia on a B.O.A.C. DC10 flight 1970-1975 ish. They stopped in Entebbe and were held by Idi Amin for several days. Part of the time they here kept in a hotel with the rest of the passengers until the hotel staff quietly got them out. I don't think anyone was seriously hurt. My father thinks that it has been hushed up due to some sort of government embarrassment. Any ideas? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellieshelp (talk • contribs) 13:58, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
I'm sorry I never saw an article. I do have a little more information to add however, although I'm not sure how much help it would be. The plane was a VC10 not a DC10. My Dad told me yesterday that Idi Amin wanted something from the plane and that when their British Caledonian flight finally took off for Zambia it was very heavy despite only a few people being on the plane. Also he found out some years later that in the hold on the original plane there were thousands of chicks - which obviously didn't survive - belonging to a white farmer in the entebbe area. Amin wasn't interested in the hostages once they were off the plane and searched - hence the hotel. He wanted whatever was on it. Also several years later my parents saw Amin in Jeddah. My Mum tried to kick him but my Dad dragged her away lol. Funny bit of info there, Mum was often in trouble with the locals in Africa and Saudi Arabia. Quite a temper and lucky she's still with us x — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ellieshelp (talk • contribs) 12:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
