| To support your request provide links to areas of OGF mapping which showcase your mapping skill. Mapping relevant to the requested theme & geography is especially useful | |
| The {{coord}} template can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - it results in a nice formatted link. Or you can paste in a URL. |
I currently own the territory "AR010 - Mayland" I would like to switch to UL11b for the following reasons:
- the territory I am working on is based on the UK. That does not fit well into the North and South Archanta region due to cultural and climate differences.
- UL11b is much more suited for the culture I am working on.
If this request is granted, AR010 should become available or absorbed into the territories surrounding it.
I have also used JOSM since 2018
