[edit] Flags of Europe#Disputed and unrecognised states
Is it really necessary to include the flags of Sealand and Seborga? They are micronations, in other words joke states that no one takes seriously (it's also odd that not all other micronations in Europe are included). I also think that the flag of the Republika Srpska is unnecessary as it is a federal unit of Bosnia and Herzegovina. If we include that, then we should include all sixteen States of Germany. Finally, I'm not too sure about the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria; they have no control over Chechnya, so you can hardly call it an unrecognized state.--Rudjek 21:36, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
I support the removal of Republika Srpska as it is a recognized (and we all hope it stays recognized) Serbian state within Bosnia and Herzegovina, and is not in the same position as the other ones. Seborga is just a joke IMO, and Sealand should stay, it is truly an unrecognized state.Velimir85 01:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Criterion for sorting flags
Is there any good explanation to why flags are sorted according to EU membership? All other continent's flag pages are sorted by geographic regions, which in my opinion is far more intuitive than affiliation with an international political organization. I'm inclined to change this unless anyone objects (with a good reason to keep things the way they are now). --Denvesletigeren 15:40, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
