This new content is indeed copy/pasted from the FOTW site. Their copyright statement would seem to allow it. — OwenBlacker 11:46, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
- Nonsense. Their copyright statement prohibits modification of the text, or commercial use. I've removed it. Someone should add the same information, but written in their own words. dbenbenn | talk 18:35, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright?
It does'nt matter what FOTW says. They don't own the flag. It is the property of the faroese people and can be freely used to represent that people everywhere and in encyclopædias. --JJ-Hammer 17:25, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Vexillological symbols
I corrected the symbol for the use of the flag from 
to 
. Ofcourse Faroese Government ships (3 Coast Guard ships, 10 ferries, and 2 marine research ships) use the flag too. Only the Military is Danish. Look at this Coast Guard ship "Tjaldrið" as an evidence: http://www.skipalistin.fo/images/skipsmyndir/TJALDRID.jpg -- Arne List 08:44, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Potential Copyright Issue
Hi. I visited this article today -- Flag Day -- learned a bit about a flag (and a country) that I didn't know anything about beforehand. Thanks! My only concern is that the "History" section is nearly identical to the "History" section of the Flags on the World website listed in your "External Links". It should probably be rewritten to avoid any appearance of copyright infringement! MeegsC 00:08, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. The History and Symbolism sections are too similar and they were introduced by User:Inge here. John Vandenberg 01:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
