This entry is one of only seventeen that have won the March 2005 West Dakota Prize for successfully employing the expression "legend states" in a complete sentence. --Wetman 08:18, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) .
This entry, one of an unprecedented 52, has won the September 2005 West Dakota Prize, awarded for successfully employing the expression "legend states" in a complete sentence.
- Am I the only one who thinks that a "prize" like this violates the Wikipedia spirit, which emphasizes goodwill and cooperation over snideness? HistoryBA 6 July 2005 01:19 (UTC)
- Where is the "legend states" phrase anyway? -- CueZ 6 Jun 06 2:07PM GMT

[edit] White flag GIF
Should the article contain a GIF of a white flag ? It does look a bit silly. -- Ze miguel 08:41, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
- No, it's stupid. -Willmcw 09:03, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

- Especially as you can't see the exquisite detail as in my high-resolution JPEG. Jeremy Nimmo 12:18, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
- wtf? an image of whiteness? Talk about overkill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.148.209.254 (talk • contribs) 10:32, 11 August 2007

- Well now it is an svg, and what fantastic detail! No loss of quality whatever size you have it. Its so cool how can you get rid of it? Should be in an infobox maybe! But are the proportions correct?
- You need this kind of visual representation though, you say white but to see white you might realise how white. For example if you are having a war in Antarctica, after seeing this it might occur to you how you would need to put a border around your white flag for it to be effective. - J Logan t: 21:23, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ... Would it be silly....
... To add the three white flags from Gallery_of_flags_by_design#Solid... I'd put a border and a note on them of course, but... --Aknorals 01:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Publicity Help
This page would get alot of help if it were out where everyone can see it, like on the Did You Know on the Main Page. Xlegiofalco 03:15, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalisim
Seems to me that there's a bit of vandalisim in the first few lines of this article. That probably should be addressed, but I'm not quite sure how to do that.
[edit] Imagine
Is there anywhere we can add the Nutopian national flag on here?
[edit] Geneva Convention
The introduction says "The use of the flag to surrender is included in the Geneva Conventions." Which Geneva convention? It is mentioned in Protocol I mentions a flag of truce under the section Perfidy, but is it mentioned anywhere else?
A flag of truce is mentioned in "CHAPTER III: Flags of Truce" Hage IV of the Hague Conventions (1907) but there does not seem to be a mention of the colour. --Philip Baird Shearer 10:23, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
