[edit] Orientation of stripes

The other stub articles are based on the flag. That would mean the striped should be horizontal. But as pointed out by User:cnoguera the horizontal image linked to by the Telefonica Nationalist Vandal is incomplete, and has too few stripes. Also, it's badly named. A new image with the correct amount of horizontal stripes should be uploaded under a good name. --Regebro (talk) 13:49, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Two wrongs doesn't make it right so I made a new one to find here: [[1]] but since it was my first upload I need someone to maybe change the name and to replace it on all the pages that are using the old file. Once done that should solve that problem for good. Thanks --Floridianed (talk) 18:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

The picture Floridianed has uploaded would certainly do the job as well (though I prefer the old one aesthetically and because of its similarity with the coat of arms), but I don't quite understand why are you insisting on the horizontality of the stripes. I have checked there is no uniform criterion on analogous templates (see e.g. Template:Portugal-geo-stub, Template:Belgium-geo-stub, Template:Spain-geo-stub, Template:Germany-geo-stub, Template:France-geo-stub, Template:Italy-geo-stub). So, what's the point? --Carles Noguera (talk) 10:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

All of those templates are based on the flag. I don't see any reason Catalonias should be otherwise. --Regebro (talk) 10:58, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

As I said, I agree with you. --Carles Noguera (talk) 11:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I think I have understood your point and the criterion under the examples I have shown: the pictures in geo-stubs must resemble the official national flag, not the coat of arms. So, please forget my previous comments and proceed with the change (I am sorry I cannot help you in renaming the picture). Cheers. --Carles Noguera (talk) 10:47, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
