Talk:Maun, Botswana

Two unreferenced claims
I've seen two additions to this article pop up without references this week. Both are probably correct, but it would be helpful to reference them (see WP:CITE).

1) "although officially still a village"--officially according to who?

This is true - almost all settlements in Botswana are officially classified as villages (some are informally called 'major villages' - likely including places like Maun, Palapye, Mahalapye, Ghanzi, Kanye, Mochudi). To quote the Botswana wiki here are the exceptions (the bottom 4 are all, or have been, 'company towns' to some extent):

01 - Gaborone City 02 - Francistown City of, 03 - Lobatse Town 04 - Selebi-Phikwe Town 06 - Jwaneng Town 05 - Orapa Town 07 - Sowa Township

2) The history of flight in Maun -- interesting stuff that just needs a citation (and then some wikilinking)

In Popular Culture
As I'm sitting at my computer working, the CBS program "The Amazing Race" happens to be on. It is not a program about which I know much or follow, but it got my attention when lots of interesting footage of Maun was shown. Not knowing where Maun was, I arrived here. I suspect being a key locale for a "reality" show seen by millions (of US viewers, at least) every week may make it worthy of a mention. I don't have the time myself but perhaps someone watching this page may find it fit to add. --Dhugot (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:09, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and added an "In Popular Culture" section. "Be bold", they say! I hope someone watching this page will improve, correct and/or otherwise update appropriately. Thanks! --Dhugot (talk) 01:32, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Maun Senior Secondary School
This school should not be the subject of a standalone article unless it meets the WP:NCORP criteria. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 20:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
