Orphaned references in 1979–80 Shia uprising in Iraq

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of 1979–80 Shia uprising in Iraq's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CSM":

From Human rights in ISIL-controlled territory: Arraf, Jane (8 November 2014). "Islamic State seeking to 'delete' entire cultures, UNESCO chief warns in Iraq". The Christian Science Monitor. Archived from the original on 23 September 2019. Retrieved 13 September 2019.
From 1999 Shia uprising in Iraq: Dan Murphy (27 April 2004). "Sadr the agitator: like father, like son". The Christian Science Monitor. Retrieved 1 February 2013.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 13:12, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

@Greyshark09: How would you feel about renaming these articles as the first and second Sadr Uprising? Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 03:29, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Actually i wasn't sure about this one being the "First Sadr Uprising". The 1999 event is certainly named the second, but we need to find a source naming 1979-80 events as "First Sadr Uprising". The thing is that in "first" kind of events those are never called as first, because we do not yet know that there would be second...GreyShark (dibra) 13:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

Categorised as Start; I think it needs greater depth in terms of background for general readers (eg role of Iraqi Shia in a Sunni state), Infobox, pictures. Plus, shouldn't the Aftermath at least mention the Iran-Iraq War? Robinvp11 (talk) 14:52, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
