Here's the good article criteria for you Good Article editors: Kghusker 08:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
According to the above GA criteria, I have to fail this article, again, mainly for the broad in coverage. Keep researching for more sources and you may find more information to include. Good work so far, but keep expanding. Happy editing! -- Nehrams2020 07:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
Fabric measurements? I've seen quite a few WWI service flags and there's a lot of variation in size, as well as material- silk, cotton, felt. There were also large service flags flown by businesses and organizations- the Landers, Frary & Clark company (a manufacturer of army gear as well as household appliances) displayed a very large banner on the side of its main factory- in their case I believe it was for children of employees as well as the employees themselves. When the 27th Division AEF returned from WWI a gargantuan flag was carried in the NYC Welcome Home parade- one star for each man in the division. Service flag- themed jewelry was also made, pins and rings commonly turn up on Ebay. Saxophobia ( talk) 13:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
This article has been failed due to a complete lack of citations, which are generally required for GA status. Please do resubmit once some citations have been added. MLilburne 09:24, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the article is still not broad enough in coverage. As Nehrams has explained previously:
Sources like this should be of particular relevance when expanding the article.
Please consider re-submitting the article after improvements are made. -- Johnfos 07:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I created a video tribute to families of the Blue Star banner and posted it here:

Is there a way to post this video on the main page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.76.96.14 ( talk) 13:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Information in this older version of Gold Star Mothers (disambiguation) may be useful for the article Service flag. Cnilep ( talk) 04:48, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
It seems that, historically at least, not only families had flags? Or perhaps these quotes I found on Google Books refer to figurative rather than literal flags:
