[edit] Incorrect details
Some of the facts given in the flags of the world article are woefully wrong. I deleted the entire article and am now rebuilding it. Please be patient--snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 23:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Flag myths
There is a new article at Lion myth of Sri Lanka that a copy of this article plus some new information about "myths" (I didn't really read it). If that information is valid, it should be moved into this article. howcheng {chat} 19:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Hi Howcheng, the new article appears to be a blatant POV fork. All the additional material, which is not cited, POV and entirely OR used to be in this article, before I deleted it in January in this edit and later reverted its re addition, both times by Veri (talk ยท contribs).
- The basic backgroud behind the issue is the Lion is almost universally accepted as the symbol used by ancient Sri Lankan rulers, and hence the same symbol has been brought forward with the current national flag. Whoever is adding this stuff (it looks to me to be the same editor using multiple accounts) is trying to portray it as otherwise and say that the claim that ancient Sri Lankan kings used a lion flag is a myth. Hence the "Lion myth of Sri Lanka".
- Since non of his claims are backed up by any reliable sources, I'll be inclined to put it up at AFD. Any suggestions on that? --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 03:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I always think this flag from Sri Lanka is beautiful, but some guy from a New Zealand unversity: http://www.otago.ac.nz/philosophy/Staff/JoshParsons/flags/alpha.html thinks that flag is one the worsts in the actual world. --201.19.229.152 (talk) 22:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
