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.

However, I wish to elucidate that the trip shall be electronic,private and remote in style and nature. All members subscribed to this mailing list are requested to have a computer with internet access, then visit the page, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals which shows the target areas for WTN so far gathered and bear in mind that we need to have more than 400!
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.
In case you have any misunderstanding mess or obstacle in doing this .. You know what to do! I am sorry if you were offended.kindly contact any member of wikimedia KE.
