Map of Fumba Town

Fumba Town

Request

Hi all. I'm looking to create a map of the Fumba Town development, a free economic zone located on the southwestern end of Unguja, the largest island of Zanzibar. I can provide you with this map as a starter. Do note that this takes you to a Tanzanian government website, so tread lightly if you're from East Africa, I'm not entirely certain how their program works down there but I know it's not great. You can find the map on page 26. I can also point you towards this previous discussion that has way more info that I'm sure you'd find helpful if you chose to take up this request. It includes maps of the smallest administrative subdivisions of Tanzania and the Zanzibar islands. and might be helpful attempting to determine exact boundaries off of a grainy map.

I can promise a barnstar as thanks, and help with an article of your choosing if you'd like, but really not much more than that. You have my thanks in advance. CSGinger14 (talk) 22:15, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

@CSGinger14: IMHO, Barnstars are meant to be awarded after the fact. Attempting to "bribe" someone with one might be counterproductive. cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 14:45, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Plan of motor hillclimb needed

Goodwood Festival of Speed

Request

Could someone please produce a plan of the motor racing hillclimb course for Goodwood Festival of Speed (the existing one is overly simple) as I cannot find an adequate one on Commons or Geograph and I'm not sure my drawing skills are up to it. It could be a much-simplified verson of this, or this. I'm familiar with the course, so could advise on detail if necessary. I already asked this question at the reference desk and help desk before I discovered this page, so sorry for the duplication. Thank you! -- Tony Holkham (Talk) 14:14, 13 July 2026 (UTC)

@Tony Holkham: Would the course labelled with the text between the horizontal lines in http://cdn.ecommercedns.uk/files/0/266410/1/51140381/goodwood-hill-small.png do? cmɢʟee τaʟκ (please add {{ping|cmglee}} to your reply) 10:45, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

@Cmglee - Certainly, that would be great. If possible, the box between Park straight and Pheasantry on NW side of the track should be labelled "Goodwood House" which is its approximate position (though a little further back from the track). Many thanks, Tony. Tony Holkham (Talk) 11:10, 14 July 2026 (UTC)

This map in the Wikibox for the First Turkic Khaganate depicts the central Asian steppe circa 576 CE. On its left side it contains a link that is incorrectly named "Avar Khaganate" - a misspelling of Avar Khanate which was a specific Avar polity that postdates the map by ~700 years. The link correctly directs to the Pannonian Avars page, which covers the relevant timeframe of the map. The link should say "Pannonian Avars" and not "Avar Khaganate". Please make this minor change! Thank you!

Ming China

• The map (File:Jingnan Campaign (English).svg) is very confusing, to the point of being almost unusable. It contains so much detail that readers can hardly make out what is happening. In addition, its heavy reliance on color-coding raises accessibility concerns and may not comply with MOS:COLOR. I strongly suggest seeking assistance to create a clearer and more reader-friendly replacement.

• File:Yongle Mongol campaigns 1410-1424.jpg has the same issue. This is so difficult to read, it's essentially unusable.

These two maps are required for the Yongle Emperor article's Featured Article nomination, as a reviewer has specifically requested that they be included. Min968 (talk) 16:49, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

I am currently working on improving the Hongwu Emperor article for Featured Article standards and would appreciate assistance with several historical maps related to Zhu Yuanzhang's rise to power and the founding of the Ming dynasty.

A reviewer suggested that the article would benefit from maps that are closely integrated with the narrative and directly illustrate the major events discussed in the text.

Possible maps include:

• The expansion of Zhu Yuanzhang's power from his joining of the Red Turban movement in 1352 to his victory at Lake Poyang in 1363.
• The political and military situation in southern China during the conflicts between Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, and Zhang Shicheng.
• The Ming conquest of Yuan China (1367–1368), showing the routes of the Northern Expedition and major cities captured.
• Campaigns against remaining Yuan forces after 1368, if feasible.

Ideally, the maps would be suitable for use in a Featured Article and use historical place names where appropriate.

Thank you for any assistance. Min968 (talk) 14:01, 19 June 2026 (UTC)
