Call for portal maintainers
[edit]Are there any editors from this WikiProject willing to maintain Portal:Kenya? The Portals guideline requires that portals be maintained, and as a result numerous portals have been recently been deleted via MfD largely because of lack of maintenance. Let me know either way, and thanks, UnitedStatesian (talk) 05:53, 22 September 2019 (UTC)
This topic is one I've been watching for some time - it piqued my interest not long ago. More later. Bokoharamwatch (talk) 18:13, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
Kisii people is almost exclusively made up of original research and could do with attention from someone with knowledge of the subject. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 19:38, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Villages and settlements - stubs without reliable sources
[edit]Most of the articles in Eastern Province (Kenya)#Villages and settlements are stubs created in 2010 based on an unreliable source, which was removed leaving them without any references, and many have not been improved since; there are similar stubs in the subcategories of Category:Kenya geography stubs for this and other provinces. One article (Gariba) was deleted in 2019, another (Karuari) was recently proposed for deletion and a reference has been added but the source is based on GEOnet Names Server and is still not enough without additional sources. Similar articles were deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Airagwani. Is there anything reliable to verify the designation of places in the list (and subcategories) as populated places, and if any are "populated, legally recognized places" considered notable under WP:GEOLAND?

Maasai shúkà
[edit]Please see: Talk:Maasai people#Shúkà. The gist is that we have a section on clothing at that article, and a section on the same cloting/material at Tartan#Maasai shúkà, so we probably either need to do some merging or even have a separate article at Shúkà. I'm not sure exactly which is preferable. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 12:21, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
Could someone please look into improving Mau Mau rebellion?
[edit]It’s not just a high-importance Africa article, but a level-5 vital article overall, and it’s a measly B-class. The recent talk page isn’t full of discussions on article improvement but IPs complaining that it sucks. I’m not remotely familiar with the event, so could someone please look into this?

Starting this July, we will see a new contest on the scene - the Developing Countries WikiContest (WP:DCWC)! Think of it as a WikiCup but only for articles and media on developing countries.
Competitors may submit GAs, GTs, FAs, FTs, FLs, FPs, and DYK and ITN entries from/on developing countries to gain points and proceed to further rounds. Points are also awarded to those who review GAs, FAs and FLs.
Kenya is listed as a developing country for the purposes of this contest, so articles related to it are eligible to be submitted for points. I encourage everyone here to sign up and compete with editors from around the world to create high-quality content!
Append your name to the DCWC signup page today!

Would love to see more editors participating in this challenge and seeing more entries coming in from Kenya on a diversity of topics ♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:37, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Would people be interested in joining a wikiproject on improving and creating articles about oral tradition? Wikipedia's coverage on this appears to be very poor Kowal2701 (talk) 19:13, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
