[edit] Link to Serbia?!

For some reason this template links to Serbia for the national tennis teams. This is unacceptable. Both the Davis Cup team and Fed Cup team have their own articles, which are the ones which should be linked to. --Thewanderer (talk) 19:57, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] kingdom flag

The flag of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia is not commons:Image:Flag of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (civil).svg but instead commons:Image:Flag of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.svg.

Somebody, as I see commons:User:R-41 have brought this distincion of (civil) / (state) in the commons which is not true. There was only one flag of the Kingdom according to the Constitution. It was a blue-white-red banner without any symbols appearing on it.

Lots of info can be found http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/Flags/yu_shs.html


And what someone like R-41 would like everybody to belive that the false "state" flag exist's.

That flag is not the state flag but the naval ensign [1].

For the sake of correctness this change should be quick because R-41 changed the colours to look like on Flag of Serbia from the period of the Kingdom of Serbia.

[edit] Addition of alias

{{editprotected}} From 1918 to 1929, the country's name was Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. This template doesn't reflect that. Please make the necessary addition. It had the same flag as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.--Thewanderer (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, the Kingdom of Yugoslavia article already explains this. The consitution from this period is also available on Serbian Wikisource. According to Article 1 of the constitution, "Službeni je naziv države: Kraljevina Srba, Hrvata i Slovenaca" which means "The official name of the state is: Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes". The term Yugoslavia is not found on this document at all (Serbian: Jugoslavija). This consitution was in effect until January of 1929 when the King pronounced it void and renamed the state soon after.
Also, as you can see here that upon renaming of the state, the same flag law was kept, so the two kingdoms had the same flag.--Thewanderer (talk) 23:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
Looks uncontroversial. But what change, exactly, needs to be made? "Replace X code with Y code" is by far the easiest way to get modifications to protected templates to go through quickly :D Happymelon 14:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
