This is currently regarding flags of Latvia and Bulgaria. Both of these countries have defined flags to be used in ditigal spaces, prints or other places other than flying the flag on a pole in real life, being different from the real life flags in shades of their coloring. Should the main flag on the articles Flag of Latvia and Flag of Bulgaria be the real flag or the digital flag? This discussion is also regarding the default flag in templates Template:Country data Latvia and Template:Country data Bulgaria — IмSтevan talk 13:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

It appears that several flags on this wiki have been the brainchild of Oleg Tarnovsky, an individual who has made up multiple flags back in the 90s/2000s and his work has been erroneously been propogated as factual by multiple vexiollogical sites.
Some examples are listed below;

In lieu of this, I propose the project makes a conceded effort to remove these flags from articles and to mark them correctly as being fictional/erroneous. Thanks.

I'm wondering whether anyone from WP:HERALDRY would mind taking a shot at creating some free quivalents for the following non-free COA: File:Coat of Arms of Norberto do Amaral.png, File:Coat of arms of Harry Goodhew.jpg, File:Coat of arms of Kay Goldsworthy.gif, File:Coat of arms of OM XII Fajutagana.png, File:Coat of arms of OM XIV Porlares.png, File:Coat of Arms of Felipe Pulido(San Diego).jpg, File:Coat of Arms of Jeffrey Marc Monforton(Detroit).jpg and File:Coat of arms of archbishop Thomas Chung An-zu.png. All these were almost certainly uploaded in good faith, but there seem to be issues with them per WP:FREER and WP:NFC#CS that might mean they can't per WP:NFCC given that it's only the emblazon, not the blazon, that is generally considered eligible for copyright protection when it comes to COA; so, freely licensed emblazons of equivalent quality could replace these non-free ones. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 02:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
On left is the flag of the American city of St. Louis. I don't know heraldry at all, but looking it up I came up with
(In heraldic terms this is a white-fimbriated dark blue pall on a red field with a bezant.)
I think that is right, except probably the bezant part. It is not a coin, and it has a fleur-de-lis on it. I'm not sure what to do and request advice? Should I

There is a discussion taking place at WikiProject UK geography about the use of flags in articles about UK sub-national geographic areas (e.g. counties). Anyone is welcome to participate; some knowledge of the UK's administrative structure would be beneficial. Thanks, A.D.Hope ( talk) 07:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
