  1. Make sure all variables have been filled in properly
    1. Is there aleast a '1' in one of the following fields: military, dissident, rebel, palace, foreign, auto, resign, popular, counter, and other?

  2. Make sure coup_id is unique and there are no missing values.
  3. For year, month, and day, do we have any values that are equal to 0?  If so, we need to fix these cases
