[edit] Re: Moving & Merge

I agree with SEWilco that Flag of United States Marine Corps should be merged with this already existing article. — Linnwood 21:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Which flag image

There presently are two flag images, with different size ratios. Which is correct? Image:USMC flag.png or Image:Marine corps flag.gif. Also note List of U.S. military flags. (SEWilco 18:00, 21 August 2005 (UTC))

I've changed the page to show Image:Marine_corps_flag.gif as it is a better quality image of the flag. Also it is the flag imaged used on the page for the United States Marine Corps, so we will be consistent. — Linnwood 20:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

AFAIK, both flags are correct. The PNG appears to be an older version of the flag and the GIF is the newer version. I'm unsure when the change was made. - Thanks, Hoshie |
