Any Questions? I think german version would be the best solution, because it has clear lines.

Look at these SVGs: commons:Category:Nautical Signal Flags. The German article already uses them.

Sorry, but I've already trumped that series with my own expanded set of signal flag SVG's, at commons:Category:International Code of Signals. --  Denelson83  02:38, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

I find it very odd that you have removed the old flags and replaced them with your own, simply to "trump" them (and increase your own wiki coverage?). If you had examined the link that was in the article, you would have found SVG graphics that are released under the Creative Commons license. This would have saved you time in creating your own flags (except the ones I have not made, half of which would simply have required a bucket fill on my existing templates!) and would probably have given you time to add value to another article.

I am not too fussed about the link to my site (thanks to whoever added it before, it was appreciated) or even that you've made your own, but duplicated effort seems pointless when somebody else has already taken their own time and given permission for them to be used freely.

If you'd like to contact me via email, you can find the address on my website, which was linked in previous versions.

[edit] Request for definitions

Can someone explain what all the flags at the bottom mean?

[edit] Prompt Flag

Does anyone have a reference for the "Prompt" flag? I've never seen it, and I've checked two references and not found it.
