  • Mild oppose in current form I like the content, but comparing to Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Turgot map of Paris (2), the main image there is an assembled continuous image with the margins between sheets removed, which seems to me the best way to present this content to a general audience. Unless there's some reason the same couldn't be done with this map, I'd suggest that this is not an optimal version of this map to promote, and we should wait for/produce that version.

I don't think the edges line up tightly enough for the stitching to be feasible. Bammesk (talk) 04:33, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
