Hey Phares,
Really great push you are starting here, thumbs up! We currently have Wikiproject Kenya (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Kenya) and WikiAfrica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiAfrica) which are pushing for more articles in Kenya and Africa. I think using these to have a coordinated effort to increase the number of articles will be great.
The discussion page for iHub is also up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:IHub

In that regard, I've created the NaiLAB page, if anyone has more references & content please add... The page is up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaiLAB, perhaps we should have a checklist as part of this campaign, e.g. which companies we will feature and who will do the data gathering.

Hi Phares,
Great work indeed Congrats!! My advise is, create messages with the link to wikipedia around 4 or 5 are catchy and can be used for tweets so that we can have members tweet the same thats more effective.
One thing to note though if people we advertise to the general public and people start editing without providing references or any relevant support documentation for what they have input in the page there will be high chances of it being deleted, so I highly recomend people with wikipedia editing experience to do so.

Thanks guys! The page is taking shape...
Question though, we are low on Kenyan content... e.g. our tech firms (The Copy Cat Limited, Seven Seas Technologies, Virtual City, Craft Silicon, NaiLAB, M:Lab etc) are still unlisted. Perhaps we could start a drive to have people populate the pages? On Social Media and the other mailing lists...
