I will sending the page to some of the Journalist students from USIU (they usually have a photography Exam that demands they take photos) and some other University students that I interact.
Photograph a monument in Kenya and Nairobi and stand a chance to win a trip to Hong Kong #wlm-ke http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Kenya
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. Posting on mailing lists we are subscribed to woulod also be great.
Anything else to add?

Hello All!
I posted a message seeking assistance to move our page from Wikipedia to commons at the WLM mailing list and the general opinion was to have it stay at Wikipedia then create redirects from the banners to point there. Moving the page would create too much unnecessary work.
Thanks,
Stephen

Please let me know if you were expecting something else. Great things are moving again! Lodewijk 2012/9/11 Stephen <wanjaustev@gmail.com>Hi All!several people (see link [2] of Stephen) have indicated they want tohelp.Currently there are still zero uploads from Kenya, because it is notclearto people how to upload. Who is in charge for Wiki Loves Monuments Kenya (or who wants to take responsibility and get things moving)? How can Ihelpyou to get the priorities straight and get things done? What is thebottleneck?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_KenyaBest, Lodewijk 2012/9/9 Lodewijk <lodewijk@effeietsanders.org>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 -andcan 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 explainhowto do something. However, the work will still lie with you. Best, Lodewijk 2012/9/9 Stephen <wanjaustev@gmail.com>Hi all! The plans to participate in the aforementioned subject had already started with the preparation of a planning page [1]. There have beensomevolunteers who have shown interest by signing up as willing to help or participate in WLM 2012 [2]. I have responded to some private E-mailsfromwilling participants and I expect the enquiries to increase. Ithereforewelcome more Wikimedians to assist me with that by probably adding the email me in their commons usernames like I have done on mine. ./Stephen. 1. http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_** Monuments_2012_in_Kenya<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya2. http://commons.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_** Monuments_2012_in_Kenya#Get_**involved.21<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya#Get_involved.21______________________________**_________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.**org <WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/**mailman/listinfo/wikimediake<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake>_______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake-- ./Stephen _______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake_______________________________________________ WikimediaKE mailing list WikimediaKE@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediake
