Following my analysis of the feedback presented in the comments on that post, I offered this list of additional prospective locations that could also have a temple announced in October. After further analysis of the comments on that list, I added most of those locations to the original list, and published the brand new list of combined prospects in this post, which I shared almost two weeks ago.
This leads me to the question I wanted to ask, and why I would like feedback on it. As we know, more mentions have been recently made lately about how President Nelson's temple-building legacy will outpace and overshadow that which we saw previously during President Hinckley's temple-building revelation that culminated in the rapid increase in the number of operating temples during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
While we don't know the extent of those plans, it may be safe to assume that we are entering another unprecedented era of temple developments. With that in mind, on the one hand, I don't want to go too far overboard in terms of the most imminently likely prospective locations that may have a temple announced in October. But on the other hand, I have been asking myself how many temple locations are too many.
For that reason, in addition to the three resources I have provided above, I wanted to also provide here a list of refined locations I have ready in case I do need to slim down the list to its' bare minimum. Here is that list:

Monrovia Liberia; Maputo Mozambique; Budapest Hungary; Kumasi Ghana/Lagos

United States:

Moines Iowa; Montpelier Vermont; Las Cruces New Mexico; Jacksonville Florida;

Having provided this additional list, I wanted to get some feedback. Which of those four lists seems to be the best version? How extensive should this list be? And regarding whichever of the lists any of you favor, is there anything I need to change in terms of eliminating or adding any prospects? It is now your turn to "sound off" in the comments below. Your feedback is always welcome and appreciated whenever and on whatever subject it is offered.
