Hi,
As I was creating stubs to be targets for WTN I have noted that they are being marked for deletion!! But this can be fixed by creating them in the sandbox and then post them later to the article section when they are more mature articles i.e. they have links,references,citations e.t.c.
An update on our goals as of: Wednesday -- 68 Thursday 1321(UTC) --- 50 Thats 111 in total.
Keep up the good work!!
Cheers, Steve

Hey,
Oscar's suggestion to have the precise name of the building cannot go unnoticed since most offices for org's,instituions,companies e.t.c. in Nairobi have rented spaces and do not necessarily own the building.
On that note therefore,I suggest that from now on as we populate the targets for WTN we cite the location as we have been doing then the building name of our target rather than just the location.
Cheers, Steve

Hey Oscar,
Yah, your suggestion's part of the scope for this. Go ahead and place a link to the non-existing articles you have. After the scavenger hunt for pics, the second part of the competition will be writing creating the new articles: in Swahili and / or English.
You can find a link on our homepage to a brief of the whole thing.
Cheers, Alex.

Afterwhich you can post your trip report and findings at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Takes_Nairobi.
If you were keen to this thread there were target areas for the WTN posted by Alex.
As such you are expected to examine articles about Items, places, buildings companies,hospitals, universities,supermarkets,Monuments,hotels e.t.c. in Nairobi,then check them out if they contain a picture.If they do not have a picture on them then feel permitted to fill them in the right category at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals.
