Article would be improved with a map or schematic

This article would be much improved with a scale map of the Port of Jacksonville, showing major elements of the port infrastructure, waterways, connections to ground transportation (road and railway), etc. If no map or schematic can be found, or drawn up, a good aerial photo of the port would help improve the article as well.N2e (talk) 14:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Map needed

It is requested that a map or maps be included in this article to improve its quality.

Port of Jacksonville → JAXPORT – Official name of the port is JAXPORT. Rnl2294 (talk) 19:05, 16 October 2023 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Steel1943 (talk) 17:59, 20 October 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Polyamorph (talk) 20:23, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion thread was initiated on WP:RMTR.@Rnl2294, Dicklyon, Kj cheetham, and King of Hearts: Pinging current participants for awareness. Steel1943 (talk) 18:00, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You'd have to first sort out whether JAXPORT refers to the Port Authority, as they say it does, or the port; or both. This retargeting by move seems wrong. Dicklyon (talk) 03:49, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Rnl2294 ping for awareness. -Kj cheetham (talk) 16:22, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the issue here. A lot of port names usually become a reference to both the port authority and the port itself. (I think this is called polysemous.) The important part is when functions or operation of the port are mentioned, it should state the port authority. Also, this should be moved to Jaxport because of MOS:ALLCAPS. – The Grid (talk) 18:30, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No opinion on Dicklyon's concern above, but if it does get moved to some variant of JAXPORT, per MOS:TM it should spelled Jaxport or JaxPort. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:53, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment regarding moving to full discussion: The fact alone that the new title request/redirect JAXPORT does not target this article, means that a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC claim probably has to be made, regardless of other issues which may exist with this move request. Steel1943 (talk) 17:59, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is clear from Jacksonville Port Authority and their website that JAXPORT is the authority's brand name - and both JAXPORT and Jaxport already link there. This is a broader article about the port at Jacksonville, including particularly coverage pre-1963 when the authority was established, as well as non-authority activities in what seems to be a much larger harbour area than that controlled by the authority. This article already has appropriate "Main article" links to the authority and elsewhere. I don't see any case for the proposed change here. Davidships (talk) 16:22, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
