	Territory application approved
	Approved, with concern. You seem to not understand that Beginner territories are small, intended as an opportunity to build up mapping experience. They are not for long-term mapping and are considered "non-canon" within the OGF world. You should use this territory to build up experience, and to showcase mapping which you then cite in an application for a proper territory. Beginner territories are withdrawn if there is no real progress, or indeed, lots of progress but an intention to stay put. Thanks/wangi (talk) 09:14, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
