Why is this same as flag of the United Nations? File history shows it should be different. 195.197.190.231 (talk) 13:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Good question That's due to vandalism. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 18:41, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

According to FOTW the flag should be the other way around. Which would mean that the one mentioned here would be incorrect. Do they have a point or are they mistaken? --Hardscarf (talk) 23:04, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ugh I have personally e-mailed FOTW a number of times to tell them about this. Every resource I have ever seen has the flag the way that it appears here (e.g.) The back of the flag looks like it does on FotW. The only thing I can figure is that maybe due to Arabic being a right-to-left language, it is customary to hang flags on the opposite side?
