What kind of cross?

Maltese cross
Unofficial W&F flag

Here's a link to a photo of the blue cross between the two towers of the cathedral: blue cross. (Zoom in to get a good look.)

I've also put an image of a Maltese cross in this section, for comparison, on the right.

And, on the left, an image of the unofficial flag of W&F (the official flag is the French tricolor).

Is the blue cross on the cathedral a Maltese cross? NO! Obviously not. A Maltese cross has very distinctive vee-shaped notches in the end of each "arm" of the cross.

Neither is the cross on the unofficial flag a Maltese cross.

The "reliable sources" used in the article are incorrect, and, as a result, so is the DYK. -- 108.45.72.196 ( talk) 02:36, 5 August 2013 (UTC) reply
