This page is essentially useless. The gallery view is the only one I need. It can be browsed very quickly, and I can click on the individual one I need. I use it for learning the flags for pub quizzes, and it has been excellent. I can click on specific ones and learn individual history lessons for interest as well, but mostly I need the browsing. 134: 116: 1223: 405: 320: 1877:
practice – this just adds confusion. The article already identifies in the title that all of these are national flags, so it's redundant to list that nearly all of them are national flags, but then confusing to suggest that some aren't national flags but are state flags instead. This general list should avoid this jargon that doesn't have in-line context of flag versions and usages and that takes up table space.
144: 310: 220: 292: 199: 85: 21: 444: 1859:, etc.), I was working with the assumption that these are well-known terms. Indeed, they each have their articles which go into more depth. It should be noted that mentions of "national flag" in this column specifically follow the vexillological definition (this definition is provided in the background section) and not "national flag" as is used in general English. ― 1673: 2000: 860:
sources recognize that no modification of design is included in the law. If a government establishes a flag prior to independence and does not establish any alterations to the design following independence, then we include the date of independence with a footnote explaining that it was retained from a previous government.

these are merely guidelines, and initial ones at that. Do not think that exceptions cannot be made for specific instances or that these guidelines cannot be altered through discussion and consensus. These guidelines are merely supposed to provide a foundation upon which we can build this list and further collaboration.
1886:
Your argument does make sense, now that I think about it. I originally included the official usage column since such information was provided in the infobox of Znamierowski's encyclopedia and the flag infobox template, but it appears that confusion inevitably will arise considering that two different
859:
From this point on, the column is to be renamed "Date of latest design" and only a single date is to be included, not multiple. Here we shall refer to the most recent dates of proclamations or legislation relating to the design of a national flag. We shall exclude laws of standardization if reliable
852:
How many revisions and modifications can a flag go through before it can be considered the "same flag"? Many flags throughout the world trace their roots to some ancestral flag, however there is no definitive way to know if it is indeed the same flag. It's a classic Ship of Theseus problem, but this
1904:
Thanks, I think if there are any usage notes that are important, they can go in the description section. For symbolism, important symbolism can selectively be incuded in the description as well, but it's not universal or significant enough to have its own column. A lot of flags' colors are based on

Correction 2: If sources differ on the flag displayed for a country, then we show flags used in all sources. For example, the civil flag of Austria is displayed in DK's Complete Flags of the World and the CIA World Factbook, whereas the state flag of Austria is displayed Znamierowski's encyclopedia

I know that this list will inevitably draw others to edit it, however disharmony may also arise due to conflicting definitions for inclusion within the various columns. Therefore, I am going to provide a brief description of what exactly ought to be included in each column of the list. Of course,
1876:
While I am familiar with vexillogy, that is a bad assumption. Whether a flag is used on ships is not a detail that needs to be included. Without specification of what the differences between civil and state flags are for particular countries – and to what extent those differences are observed in

accurate but I have had many changes in opinion regarding the style of the list. I have decided to just let people ask me about the changes instead of preparing a style guide which will require constant updating. If you have a question regarding the format of the list, please ask in the section
846:
The criteria for inclusion of the dates are vague. Should we include the dates of adoption of a flag by regional governments? political parties? national movements? general usage? It is impossible to tell who ought to be counted here, and none of the previous are even governments of sovereign
1815:
Regarding the "description" column, I just thought it made sense to explain how the flags ought to look. The CIA World Factbook is where I copied the descriptions from, with adjustments when necessary. I did not take the overall width of the list into account since my PC displayed the content
1108:
Instead of writing a whole style guide, I believe it would be far more useful if people were merely able to read some answers to questions they may have. I'm going to try and provide an explanation to the massive reforms I have undertaken. You are free to reply with further questions.
1461:
It's important to be concise, and it's perfectly standard and appropriate not to have all the inclusion criteria in the title. It would still be fine to then say in the body that the list is for sovereign states, regardless of who uses the term "national".
1981:
In the designer section for the current United States flag, it says it was designed by "Robert Heft", upon clicking the wikilink, it brings me to a section talking about how this is just a common myth that has been debunked. Can this be removed then?

historical usage and don't have true symbolism, or they're something generic like blue is for water and sky. Plus it can be redundant for the description to say it has a certain element then restate that there's that element with a meaning.
1561:, not organizations. As far as I am aware, the foremost expert on the flag is Rev. William M. Becker, who wrote a book on the flags of the Vatican and the papal states. He calls the flag the "flag of Vatican City State" and quotes the 1955:
I think that would be way too much clutter since there are a lot of them. And there's already a whole article with galleries of all the family members. They could be wikilinked in the descriptions where natural to mention though.

3. In general English usage, "national flag" refers to the flag of a country, which we consider synonymous with "sovereign state" in the article. Therefore it should be clear that flags of stateless nations are not included.
