I'm sorry, there is an error in the name of the request, it is the AR022 territory without the "b". My apologies in advance. Fer Jiménez (talk) 23:13, 25 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I have the following major concerns:

Lack of recent mapping activity & engagement - no edits at all for well over a year. You also made a previous request for the same territory, which was closed due to a lack of a follow up response.
Past urban mapping is excessive grids with little else.
Past rural mapping is minimal, with concerns on hydrology too.
Your past territory is in an area which would likely work for the characteristics defined in this application. You could apply for it and tidy up your previous mapping, rather than leaving that as problem for someone else to deal with?

I think you should resume mapping, and would recommend the blue Tierra Nueva^∈^⊾^ƨ for this. You can build up a showcase to support either another application for this territory, or a reapplication for TA110^∈^⊾^ƨ. Regardless, I would encourage you to contact the TA admin to discuss how you can help with maintenance of your past mapping. Thanks/wangi (talk) 11:36, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Im sorry. My mapping has been inconsistent; I stopped this year because I lost territory TA110 due to inactivity, but it's an activity I enjoy. With my new laptop, I promise to be consistent.

If this request is closed, I understand. Regards. Fer Jiménez (talk) 17:27, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Ok, I'll close it out. The main thing to do is resume mapping. Thanks/wangi (talk) 10:52, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
