From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The four large stars in the Southern Cross are described as: "Outer diameter 3/14 length of flag". Shouldn't that be 1/14, not 3/14? Note that 1/14 is consistent with the body of the article, which says these stars have an outer diameter equal to 1/7 of the flag's width (same as 1/14 of the length). Also, 3/14 of the length would be almost 1/4 of the length, or almost half the width, which would obviously be way too big. Richwales 04:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Delta Crucis Position
The description of the position for delta crucis is identical to that of alpha crucis. I am not sure what the correct figures are.
- I have fixed this using data from the earlier version of the file, which matches the measurements of the flag and the description at http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/flags/flag-specs.jpg. - Jpo 19:28, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flag spec
Compare with http://www.diggerhistory.info/images/flags/flag-specs.jpg which seems to be more sensible. (From http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-flags/australian_flag.htm. -- SGBailey 13:48, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Star sizes
The text that describes the sizes of the stars is incorrect. Alpha, Beta, Delta and Gamma Crucis should be labelled with an outer diameter of 1/14 of the flag's length (not 3/14).

[edit] Spelling error
Beta Crucis is spelt 'Belta Crucis' in the SVG. --Infradig (andrew) 09:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
