Hi guys,
I've already started compiling a list of Nairobi related articles that need images which we are to use as our targets for Wikipedia Takes Nairobi. You can find this on the Goals article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_takes_Nairobi/Goals
It would be great if you guys could help in completing the Goals by adding other relevant target articles to it. Now I've divided types of targets into 5 ie
* Building * Infrastructure * Monument * Historical Sites * Parks and Public AreasYou can search for relevant articles using Categories in the English Wikipedia and Jamii in the Swahili one. Here are some sample pages to get you started off:
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Nairobi * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_requested_photographs_in_Ken... * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Organisations_based_in_Nairobi * http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamii:Nairobi * http://sw.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamii:Mitaa_ya_NairobiYou%27ll probably keep discovering more categories/jamii as you go on. Once you've opened an article under a certain category and you determine that it requires photos, add it to the goals list as a target.
I hope we can have most of this done during this coming week then from there I'll have them up on the Scavenger hunt site - http://toolserver.org/~contests/index.php - so if you have any questions or suggestion feel free to get in touch.
ps: you can get the logo for this here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WTN1_logo.png
In-case you feel some moderation should be made to it, do let me know within this coming week
cheers, Alex!

Great work,just Wiki it on meta...:-)
Hi Guys,
I would like you to check out on the progress in the wikipedia takes Nairobi project at http://alturl.com/oxgt9. You will note that there are some categories still vacant that need to be filled by us ASAP.
A meta page has also been set up at http://alturl.com/tx24h for you to post your views and comments.
BTW, I am hoping that we will have our 2nd Wikisaturday at the end of this week in JKUAT (Juja campus), that is the 25th June, 2011 and I would suggest we have wikipedia takes Nairobi on our Agenda.All are welcome!
Regards, Steve
