New map added

[edit]

A new map has been added to this article - [File:Foreign trips of Paul VI.svg].

The previous map had four errors per a 19 January 2011 note left on the previous map's Discussion page

* The first two are rather confusing. You may want to read the Wikipedia article on Bangladesh for further clarification. In 1970, Pope Paul VI visited the city of Dacca, Pakistan. However Dacca is now Dhaka and is the capital city of Bangladesh. When the Pope visited Dacca, it was located in the part of Pakistan that was then known as East Pakistan. After the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971, East Pakistan broke away from Pakistan and became the seperate nation of Bangladesh. Therefore, Pakistan should NOT be colored yellow on this map and Bangladesh SHOULD be colored yellow.
* Jordan was visited by Pope Paul VI in 1964. It SHOULD be colored yellow.
* France was NOT visited by Pope Paul VI during his papacy. It should NOT be colored yellow."

The new map [File:Foreign trips of Paul VI.svg] corrects the above errors. A special "thank you" to User:Golden for creating the new map. Mtminchi08 (talk) 00:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
