growing up i understood that the flag stood for something different from wht your explaintion. the blue triangle and star stands for the 3 sides of democracy, and the red and white stands for the blood and sweat of the people. i dont mean to correct you or any thing, but that was just the way i thought growing up.
yes the blood of Puerto Rico should always stand by there country and never turn there bck on it.....and thats that!!!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.59.231 (talk • contribs)

[edit] Where did they go?
I've noticed that several flag images, including all the ones on this page, have vanished...what happened? --hello,gadren 03:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Some of the images have come from sources that do not allow for commercial re-use of their images. So I have removed them, but in it's place, I found website links that hosted the images that WP used to host so yall can see them still, but in another location. Sorry.

[edit] It should be Noted
It should be noted that the majority of the content of this article came from the article "Flags of Puerto Rico" created by User:Marine 69-71 also known as "Tony the Marine" on March 15, 2006 and that said content is posted here as a result of a redirect. The history page of "Flags of Puerto Rico" which was not merged with the history page of this article can be found here History page of Flags of Puerto Rico in case of original authorship verification. Tony the Marine 04:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I apologize for not doing the history merging, I have no done it before and if you wish for the history to be merged, go right ahead. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
That's O.K. Zscout, you have good intentions. User:Nunh-huh offered to do the history page merge. Tony the Marine 05:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think Nunh-huh finished the task, since all that was needed to do is move the article, not the talk page since it only contained the template for the PR Wikiproject. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

- How is a history merge done? Is that an administrator-only thing? —Bkell (talk) 06:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- I believe so. I am an admin, but just never pulled it off, thats all. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, the Spanish did not design the Burgundian cross flag - it came with the territory when Spain inherited the Duchy of Burgundy with the accession of Charles to the throne. Prior to that, it was used as the flag of the forces of that Duchy.
[edit] Antonio Vélez Alvarado as designer of the flag
Gente, I have a reference that describes Antonio Vélez Alvarado as "designer" of the Puerto Rican flag, and Pachín Marín as the one who did the prototype shown at Chimney Hall. I have plenty of reasons to believe this was indeed the case. Vélez Alvarado experienced that strange phenomenon where people are shown the American flag in pink and electric green, are told to stare at a cross in the middle of the picture, and then told to stare immediately at a blank sheet of paper to "see" the flag with its regular colors (does anyone know exactly how that phenomenon is called?) The "Velez vs. Marín" controversy was a big issue around the flag's 100th. anniversary in 1993. Until I'm proven wrong I'll fix the paragraph crediting Marín and credit Vélez instead. This is probably best assessed by historians, but... Demf 03:26, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- BTW, this reference credits "José del Matta Terreforte" (sic), when in fact the name is Juan de Mata Terreforte, a photographer from Mayagüez who participated in the Grito de Lares, and actually took photographs of many of its participants back in 1867-68, including Ramón Emeterio Betances. "Juan de Mata" is the name of a saint, so in this case it is a given name ("de Mata" is NOT a last name). He was in New York City around the time the flag was adopted, but Vélez is credited with the design. Take note of the mistake. Demf 03:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
