Hi Stephen, the highest priority should have a clear description on the top of that page: 1) how people can participate (how to find the monuments, and how to upload) 2) what they can win (even if that prize is only a virtual one and a nomination for the international finale) 3) who will judge 4) what are the criteria I am surprised that this is still not clearly described on your page - and can now understand better why there are still no uploads for Kenya. Please let me know if we need to help in any way, or need to explain how to do something. However, the work will still lie with you. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/9 Stephen <wanjaustev(a)gmail.com>

Hey Lodewijk, I'll be following up om yhis later on today. We've also had some recent traffic on our Wikipedia Takes Nairobi Facebool page and I think we can chamnel that to wlm.

Alex, Like we had earlier agreed, we had quite a really short window of time to pull up the contest from getting Sponsors., to getting Judges, criteria etc all in less than 30days. But it seems the page redirects from wikipedia have helped us loop in volunteers and from the other Personal Volunteers i had pulled up who keep pestering me about the contest, we can synch up a quick Criteria and judging so that we get it up and running. We can synch up on a wiki or anywhere to pull this up by end of week?We can then pull in Lodewijik once we have something. Get back to me on this? Hoping you are still in Area Code 254? :-) I suggest Steve keeps the Volunteers on the Commons Page engaged through email and discussions on how/what they could help Way to go good people. Am happy a few good things have happened in WMKE after a seemingly lengthy spell of misfortunes. :-) On Tue, Sep 11, 2012 at 3:18 PM, Limoke Oscar <oslimoke(a)gmail.com> wrote: -- Regards, Limoke Oscar, Dream.Believe.Become....a world of endless oportunities

Hi All! help. clear help bottle Well the priority is to get a site with full instructions on how to enter the competition. Well, I have tried making a page in commons using the [[Template:tabbar}} approach but seems I am missing out something and it did not work out. So I am looking forward with some help with that. I expected the tabs to have the navigation links to: about WLM, How to participate, Where to find monuments, lists of the monuments etc. I think the discussion page at [1] is the best to discuss of having the site up. I will take charge to get things moving if no one else has taken this up. ./Stephen. 1. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in… and some from therefore http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Keny… https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake> -- ./Stephen _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake

Hello All! I have created the essential pages to guide participants to the Kenyan edition of WLM 2012. See [1] below. I hope it is now useful.

I think the redirect should remain in Commons. Since WLM is a Commons project.Would be great to put all the Content on our Commons page and let the redirect remain to it.

Well I understand that the WLM is a commons project and I would also wish that we have our competition page hosted there. I created the page on Wikipedia with this in mind and my option to put it up on Wikipedia was because am a bit more conversant with how stuff works there and majorly the {{start tab}}. Wikimedia projects usually complement each other and for this case we will be using Wikipedia to communicate that there is a competition but the uploads are being redirected to commons via the participate button at [1]. Norway have also set up their competition on the Norge Wikipedia, see [2] Creating a redirect to this page on Wikipedia when users click on the banners is also possible and a faster thing to do than importing templates that might only be used once in their lifetime on Wikicommons. It is still possible to migrate the page to commons if we get any of Commons Administrators, Importers or Transwiki importers to move the template. We can as well come up with another instructions page on commons but I think most of the work is already covered in the Wikipedia page. Seems am defending the template so much but by doing away with it our page will not look like [3]. If every one is ok with [3] I will migrate the code to the commons page. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Nairobi/Partcipate 2. http://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012 3. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in… //Stephen.

Hi, folks. Are those of you working on WLM actually on the WLM mailing list[1]? I think that's the best place to get technical help and advice about these issues.

Cool, I see the redirect has already been implemented, guess we can move on from here with this. The next steps I see: - *Settle on local judges and prizes* - *Advertise* (social media and other channels) We already have some traction on our Wikipedia Takes Nairobi Facebook page, we can build on some update status on Facebook and tweets directing guys to the Wikipedia page.
