Hello there!
Hope am not spamming the list:)
Draft press release is up at [1] and needs some fine tuning before we send it to our blogger friends to have something about WLM Kenya on their respective sites.
Thanks, Stephen

I have a suggestion of putting up some contacts on the competition page. Some interested participants might be interested in finding more info and yet they do not know how to edit Wiki nor where to find the info.
Volunteers are welcome to put up their Emails under that page...In the meantime some social media posts are on the way.

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

Hi all,
Oscar: Not sure where you got that message.https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:UploadWizard&cam... seems to work fine for me. Please let me know if you were expecting something else.
Great things are moving again!

Hi All!
several people (see link [2] of Stephen) have indicated they want to
help.
Currently there are still zero uploads from Kenya, because it is not
clear
to 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 I
help
you to get the priorities straight and get things done? What is the
bottle
neck?
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.

Hi Stephen,
the highest priority should have a clear description on the top of that page:
- 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

Hi all!
The plans to participate in the aforementioned subject had already started with the preparation of a planning page [1]. There have been
some
volunteers who have shown interest by signing up as willing to help or participate in WLM 2012 [2]. I have responded to some private E-mails
from
willing participants and I expect the enquiries to increase. I
therefore
welcome more Wikimedians to assist me with that by probably adding the email me in their commons usernames like I have done on mine.
