Any Serra Alums here?

Wikipedia isn't a brochure
It's obvious that the Serra faculty are editing this page, as the sweet words and ingraciating language are likely identical to the school's homepage. How about a nuetral point of view on this article please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.230.116.23 (talk) 10:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC).

NPOV Dispute
As earlier stated, Wikipedia is not a brochure. This is an advertisement to parents thinking of sending their kids there. The "spirituality" section is blatantly slanted. Is it really necessary to know that this is five minutes from highway 101? The word choice is clearly biased (a "rich athletic tradition", et cetera), and ambiguous claims are ubiquitous ("Many of the student-athletes have gone on to compete at some of the top collegiate programs in the country", "The average tenure for Junípero Serra High School faculty members is nearly 15 years" (source, please?), et cetera). Also, this is copied from a non-neutral source, the school's website. Wikipedia's guidelines state that sources must be neutral. Please, someone put an NPOV dispute tagline at the the top of this page! I will soon if the article is not neutralized. --Daveroo69 04:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Mega Man (1995 video game)

Mega Man is an action-platform video game developed by Freestyle for the Sega Game Gear, and saw a North America-only release in October 1995. The game was sublicensed by British publisher U.S. Gold from Japanese-based company and creator of Mega Man Capcom. The game features Mega Man fighting against the mad scientist Dr. Wily and the six Robot Masters under his control, and features bosses and stages from Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5.

Mega Man received generally positive reviews from video game critics upon release, though retrospective reviews were more mixed. While the game was praised for its graphics and sound being similar to the NES titles upon which it was based, its gameplay was criticized for its excessive level of zoom and fast enemy movement that led to unfair difficulty.

Gameplay
Mega Man is an action-platform game that is very similar to the original series. The protagonist, Mega Man, is able to run, jump, shoot, and climb his way past obstacles and enemies. It is based on elements from the NES versions of Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 5. Differences from previous entries include the lack of continues after running out of lives. Mega Man's robotic canine companion Rush, using an ability called Rush Coil, assists in helping the character jump higher.

The Robot Masters featured at the beginning are Bright Man, Napalm Man, Star Man, and Stone Man. Mega Man 4 antagonist Dr. Cossack's fortress contains Wave Man's and Toad Man's levels and respective bosses. Wily's fortress is Quick Man's stage from Mega Man 2, with the Wily fight taken from Mega Man 5.

Development
Mega Man was published by British-based publisher U.S. Gold. U.S. Gold sublicensed the series from Capcom and had a different company, Freestyle, develop the game. It was released exclusively in North America on the Game Gear in 1995.

Reception
Reception to the game was generally positive. Mega Man received an 87 percent from the UK-based magazine Sega Power. A reviewer for GamePro gave the game a total score of 3.75 out of 5, complimenting its graphics and sound, but noting that the small Game Gear screen increases the difficulty. Mean Machines gave it a 75 percent, with Gus Swan calling it a "close conversion of the Megaman [sic] style".

Retrospective reviews for the game have been mixed. 1UP.com's Nadia Oxford elaborated, "Mega Man often has to fight with his enemies in such close quarters, he might as well hold their hands and try his luck at a friendship. The constant screen-scrolling and sticky controls makes for a very frustrating game, although the Game Gear's low battery life ends the torment in a couple of hours anyway." GameSpot contributors Christian Nutt and Justin Speer described it as "a decent, if somewhat sluggish, translation of the Mega Man series". Damien Butt from Retro Gamer, while giving it praise for its graphics, was more mixed towards its gameplay, criticizing its difficulty and the enemies moving too fast for the player. Robert Workman for GameZone believed the game deserved a second chance for re-release, praising it for its controls, visuals, and sound.

In 2013, due to an ESRB listing, there was speculation that the Game Gear title was being released for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console. Despite the listing, nothing came of it. Because of its North American exclusivity, copies of the game garner a high price point, with complete copies going for $200 as of 2013, and $1,800 as of 2023.

Vesicle disambiguation
I have created a Vesicle (disambiguation) article because I moved Vesicle to Vesicle (biology) and created a stub for Vesicle (geology) and I believe the topic required disambiguation. I did not know that this disambiguation page existed when I took this action, however I believe that the disambiguation page I created offers more information than this one. I only found this page when fixing all of the existing Vesicle links to go to their appropriate Vesicle (biology) or Vesicle (geology) articles. Jared81 07:42, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
 * Harmless as a redirect. Kappa 07:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Flag of China

Previous discussion

 * ''See also the previous discussion at Talk:Flag of China before the title of the page was changed.

I added a description of the construction of the PRC flag. I am interested in carrying over to wikipedia the precise geometric 'construction' of most national flags; while correct, of course my language is very bulky and leaves much to be desired. A graphic should be uploaded later. -Cory

 * Is there a precise definition for the specific yellow and red colours to be used in the flag? -- Anon.

Symbolism of the stars
Wouldn't it make more sense for the stars to symbolize the Party (largest), the workers, the farmers, the soldiers and the state? This is what several Chinese citizens have told me in varying terms. It's more logical than representing the "petty bourgeousie" and "patriotic capitalists", neither of which would be in a Communist nation's flag. Mao considered capitalism to be evil; he wouldn't raise a flag celebrating even "patriotic" capitalists.

Nevermind, I fail; I translated part of the Chinese article and the English article is correct. (suspect postscript edit)

Why did some people keep adding the "worker, farmer, student, and soldier" explanation as an alternative? As a mainland Chinese, I've never heard of this version. If you google Chinese flag in Chinese, all you can see is the capitalists version.

According Mao's theory of class, much of the Intellectual is included in Petty Bourgeoisie, so it's quite similar to the Intellectual, another well-known polictical term in china, and National Bourgeoisie similar to Businessmen. It could form the bridge to the traditional "Four categories of the people" --Ctixyz

Five-star red flag
Xinhua News Agency/People's Daily uses the "five-star red flag" translation. --Voidvector 17:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Is 'Flag Construction' really necessary?

 * Not in any such cumbersome textual detail. I removed it. --ScottMainwaring 06:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Growing up in mainland and always an A student, including polical science and history, I feel obligated to share what I know. I just added the meaning of the colors of the Chinese flag.

As for the four smaller stars, the implication of workers, farmers/peasants, soldiers, and petty petty bourgeoisie was correct, unless one wants to interpret/translate the petty bourgeoisie as small businessmen. It's only the tranlation issue. It is true that the CCP regarded bourgeoisie as evil and so the word Petty is important here. Basically, again, they really meant small businesses.

The important thing here is to recognize that the big star represents CCP. It doesn't represent Han Chinese as a majority. Because the government actually have tried to equalize rights for the minorities, if not actually gave them more.

Meaning of war/naval flag?
There is no explanation for the symbols used in the war and naval flag. --84.189.125.142 15:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Adoption date?
The page says that the adoption date of the flag was 27 Semptember, 1949. According to Flags of the World the adoption date was 1 October, 1949. Which one is correct? Darth Newdar (talk) 18:48, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Requested move

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. Jenks24 (talk) 12:48, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Flag of the People& → Flag of China – This article is at its current title due to the previous name of the parent China article. Now the parent article is moved, this should too. Using the shortname in "Flag of X" articles is the standard format for all countries. These articles all deal with the current flag of the country in question, as that is what is most likely being looked at, and the current flag of China is what is being dealt with in this article. Flag of Burma and Flag of Malawi cover flags created in 2010 for example. Furthermore, there is no other flag commonly referred to as the Flag of China, except when dealing with history, in which there is always the context or an explanation. Anyone searching for "Flag of China" is looking for this article, so we should allow them to go directly to it. CMD (talk) 16:02, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, the People's Republic of China article was moved to China last September, and so this needs to be moved for consistency. Most (nearly all) people looking for "flag of China" are looking for this flag. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 23:16, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support. Many more readers are seeking information on the "Flag of China" than on the "Flag of the People's Republic China", according to Insights. This is partly because some readers who know the full form are too lazy to type it in. But the margin is overwhelming, which suggests that the proposed form is more recognizable. Flag of China is currently a two entry DAB. One or the other should be primary topic, per WP:TWODABS. Even this overstates the ambiguity. In modern real world usage, the "Flag of China" is the PRC flag. Using this phrase to refer to the Taiwanese flag is just confusing for the vast majority of readers. Kauffner (talk) 02:21, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I must disagree. What would be more confusing would be to say that the "Taiwanese flag" was used by the Nationalists during the Second Sino-Japanese War during their infantry battle charges, at a time when Taiwan was a part of the Empire of Japan. And before you deny it, I'm pretty sure what the next step will be after "Flag of the PRC" is moved. Don't deny it because deep down you know it to be quite true. Furthermore, this article only deals with the PRC flag, and not any other Chinese flag, such as this one or this one or this one or this one. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 20:24, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * This article probably doesn't cover other flags due to its needlessly restrictive title. CMD (talk) 21:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I know a similar move was done for Taiwan not too long ago also, but when you click on the Flag of Taiwan link, it still redirects to the page with the RoC. While I know (and agree) this is the flag of China (as most people see it) and I rarely see the RoC flag used in that context anymore, I just wanted to present the current state of things wiki wise when it comes to the flag pages. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Support per Kauffner. - Presidentman talk · contribs Random Picture of the Day (Talkback) 11:47, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The full, formal and official name of that Country, as on the cover of each and every Chinese passport, and elsewhere, is still the "long-winded", as with most "Socialist" Countries, "People's Republic of China". If you don't jolly well like it, well, you can always have or effect a change of government in China! (or can you?) — KC9TV 08:40, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Tell that to the United Nations. There was an extremely large discussion of this issue when the PRC article was moved to the "China" lemma not long ago. Kauffner (talk) 12:49, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * "Tell that to the United Nations" - The UN also uses FYROM instead of Macedonia; what's with that? The UN doesn't list Taiwan or the ROC - better delete Taiwan guys, no such country, UN says it doesn't exist!!!11!!xDDDDD "The UN said so" isn't a valid argument, because the UN bows down to all sorts of things that defy reality. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 20:19, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Kauffner was just pointing out to the IP that China is called...China, in official forums such as the UN. In this case, the UN is conforming with reality. CMD (talk) 21:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * See WP:COMMONNAME. Wikipedia prefers common names over sometimes-longwinded official names.  For instance, we don't have an article at Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland either. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 14:31, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Because one of the flags of your Country before the year 1867 was, and has always been called "the (British) Union Flag", informally and incorrectly as" the (British) Union Jack", or simply, usually by non-British "subjects" and persons, as "the British Flag", and is never really called "the Flag of the United Kingdom", "the Flag of Great Britain", "the Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain" or "the Flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" as such. And if we are going down this "COMMONNAME" route/nonsense all (of) the way, inflexibly, and without allowance for exceptions, I might just as well go and call you a Frenchman, instead of a Quebecker or a Canadian; and the Dutch flag as "the Flag of Holland"!
 * Look, the People's Republic of China indeed is China, and the only China, as a matter of fact and of reality, but there is also and still a separate political entity called Taiwan ((still) self-styling as the Republic of China, amongst other names styled or bestowed), and this other fact is pertinent; and in things such as heraldry and vexillology, such ambiguity is always a little frown upon. — KC9TV 04:40, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * There is only one UK. There are two Chinas. Apples and oranges. In such cases WP:IAR provides a more stable and logical situation than WP:COMMONNAME. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 20:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's only one country called China. CMD (talk) 21:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's disputable, depending on person. There is indisputably one UK. Address the point, don't walk around it. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 01:19, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * That's standard English, which is the point. It's not very disputable that when someone says China they are referring to China. Even in a case where multiple entities share a name, such as Ireland and Republic of Ireland (which is officially and commonly just called Ireland), the flag article (the flag of the ROI) is at Flag of Ireland. This is because someone searching for the "Flag of Ireland" is searching for the flag of the country called "Ireland". They're not, say, searching for the Saint Patrick's Saltire, which sometimes represents the whole island. CMD (talk) 01:38, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * You would also agree that Northern Ireland is never referred to as just "Ireland", while that is not true for the ROC, utterly obliviating your argument. Again, you trip over the mines you laid yourself in a humiliating attempt at a counter-attack. GotR Talk 09:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * My argument had nought to do with Northern Ireland. I didn't even allude to it. It was about Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. I even wiklinked those two articles. Try reading before blinding responding. CMD (talk) 22:24, 31 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The official names of the Republic of Ireland are just simply Éire, Ireland and L'Irlande; the names "the Republic of Ireland" and "La République d'Irlande" are chiefly used officially by Her Britannic Majesty's Government, or Her Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, and by the Government of Northern Ireland, and they are otherwise only semi-official in the Republic; the names "the Irish Republic", "La République irlandaise" or "An Poblacht na h-Éireann", as far as I know, have never been official, and in fact, the Government of Ireland actively forbids, prohibits and otherwise discourages the use of the three such un-official names, short of imposing fines, especially the former two.
 * — KC9TV 06:48, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose: Per the Two Chinas doctrine, which is the de facto (but not de jure) circumstance. If we were to rename "Flag of PRC" to "Flag of China" and leave "Flag of ROC" where it is, it's a uniformity issue, and people will start to complain (like they always do). We cannot move "Flag of ROC" to "Flag of Taiwan" because that would be complete rubbish (the flag of Taiwan flew over Nanking in 1927?), and neither Taiwan Island nor Taiwan Province have a regional flag that uses the Blue Sky White Sun motif. Neither can we move articles such as President of the Republic of China, President of the People's Republic of China, Government of the Republic of China and Government of the People's Republic of China for the same uniformity and factual inaccuracy reasons. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 20:05, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * And for those unfamiliar with the issue: Presidents of the ROC have existed on the mainland (e.g. Yuan Shikai, Chiang Kai-shek) which makes a move to "President of Taiwan" stupid, and "Government of Taiwan" is ambigious as such terminology can also refer to the provincial government located at Zhongxing New Village. Keeping "Flag of the PRC/ROC" where it is keeps all PRC/ROC articles uniform, otherwise it's one hell of a mess. --  李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 20:10, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no reason we have to follow a political doctrine, and in fact, we shouldn't. Having Flag of China and Flag of the Republic of China isn't a uniformity issue, there's no compelling reason to directly relate them. Far more of a uniformity issue is that this article is not uniform with the plethora of other flag articles using the short name. Neither is it uniform with the name of the country article this stems from. Renaming this article would make things more uniform.
 * As for the other articles, there's nothing factually inaccurate about any of the renames you mention. As for keeping the same uniformity, there's no sense doing that as the basis of the article names has changed. People's Republic of China moved to China and Republic of China moved to Taiwan in line with the English language. Clearly the old status quo doesn't hold. CMD (talk) 20:57, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * There's no reason we have to follow a dark conspiracy theory (conjured out of thin air) that somehow the above is a political doctrine. (In the past, )Having China and Republic of China WAS seen as a conformity issue, and you never disputed this, leading me to wonder whether this is an example of the hy-word. Far more of a uniformity issue is the failure of many to follow WP:IAR. Neither is failing to be uniform with the name of the country article a problem, as seen at, e.g. President of the Republic of China. Renaming this article would make nothing beyond the country articles themselves more uniform. GotR Talk 09:48, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Further comment. My original comment technically still stands. I, however, after actually viewing the other "offending" article, not having heretofore done so, would now also propose instead, of a hard re-direct, from the Flag of China, to the Flag of the People's Republic of China. This, I believe, is actually the most sensible course of action. — KC9TV 07:44, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

There should be more rejected proposals for national flag of PR China
I discovered that in 2009, The Chinese officials held an exhibition in Beijing to celebrate 60 years of the founding of People's Republic of China, and during this exhibition, many original drawings of rejected proposals for PRC's national flag were open to the public for the 1st time. Some news website reported this exhibition and uploaded many images of rejected proposals. For example, http://dangshi.people.com.cn/GB/85040/9894262.html on this Chinese webpage many proposals are shown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joins2003 (talk • contribs) 06:58, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

 * I have reverted your recent addition of a large number of rejected proposal flags, as the addition of such a large number of imagery constitutes undue weight. The rejected proposals only form a small aspect of a much larger and wider topic, and an undue proportion of weight is given to the rejected flags over the rest of the content. However, if you would like, I can recommend that you can start a separate article on the topic at Proposed flags of China or History of the flag of China, and add new content over there. How does that sound? If you'd like, I can help you along the way. -- benlisquare T•C•E 11:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Requested move 3 December 2016

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus here is to use the same name that the country article does.  Calidum   ¤   19:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Flag of China → Flag of the People's Republic of China – Because there is already an article of the Flag of the Republic of China, moving this article will distinguish between the flags of Communist China and Nationalist China. The name of the article is getting too complicated given the fact the PRC controls the Mainland, Hong Kong and Macau whilst the ROC ONLY administers Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu and some other islands. 135.23.144.153 (talk) 08:28, 3 December 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Oppose: per WP:CONSISTENCY, while I am sympathetic to the idea of using the full name it would be illogical to change this articles title while leaving China as an article about the PRC. Ebonelm (talk) 11:19, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Status quo: Because there's the "Two Chinas" concept, this world already has two Congos, two Koreas and two Syrias as well as two German states and two Vietnamese states. Otherwise, why not move the Flag of the Republic of China article to the "Flag of Taiwan" given the fact the ROC lost its UN seat in 1971 and still recognized by 20+ countries and the Holy See. Also the same situation with the Flag of Korea. 135.23.144.153 (talk) 19:17, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 * oppose. The main article is China, that is the name the country is overwhelmingly known by, so the most logical name for this is its current name, the Flag of China. If consistency is needed then Flag of the Republic of China should be moved to Flag of Taiwan, as the relevant article is Taiwan, but that is something to be discussed elsewhere not here. This article certainly does not need moving.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 19:57, 3 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Support. An article titled "Flag of China" is supposed to include the flags of all Chinese regimes since Qing Dynasty, like how Chinese Wikipedia article 中國國旗 does. Article Flag of China is failing to do that and is only including the flag of the People's Republic of China so its title should be "Flag of the People's Republic of China", like how Chinese Wikipedia article 中華人民共和國國旗 is. --Matt Smith (talk) 04:46, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Plurals in Chinese work differently to plurals in English. In English "Flag of China" refers to a single flag, not every iteration. CMD (talk) 06:19, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * It seems that "Flag of XXX" in articles Flag of the United Kingdom and Flag of France does not refer to a single flag. --Matt Smith (talk) 06:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Both of those articles do, in fact, refer to a single flag, the one which is the topic of each article. CMD (talk) 07:08, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Don't they also include the flags of former regimes? --Matt Smith (talk) 07:30, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Regimes isn't really the right word, but you'll notice that the historical flags (and variant flags) are included as context to the current flag, which is the topic of the article. Both of those flags draw elements from the former flags. Even if they didn't I'd argue that including historical flags may be useful if it illustrated changes and context associated with changing the flag. This is not the same as treating "Flag of X" as an examination of all of a polity's flags throughout history. For example the Hong Kong and Macau flags are discussed here and the Chinese flag is discussed on those articles, which helps explain the symbolic links between them, but does not make each of these articles equivalent in their coverage of each of the flags. CMD (talk) 07:47, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It looks like the articles I was expecting for UK and France should be List of British flags and List of French flags, respectively, instead.
 * Since the English world is currently recognizing the People's Republic of China as China, I will not be stating a stance on this request. --Matt Smith (talk) 08:02, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Matt, the topic is about the flag itself, not the country (or the political government). The country and the flag are not the same. --George Ho (talk) 00:58, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Support. The long form PRC name is used quite a bit more than the equivalent form for many other countries. Consistent with flag of the Republic of China. This flag was created specifically for the PRC, and it has been used only by the this regime. So its not comparable to, say, the French tricolor, which had been used by various regimes in France. "United Kingdom" can be considered a long form name (compared to "Britain") and it is also a regime name. Pandas and people (talk) 10:01, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

 * This is a bit more nuanced though. History of People's Republic of China is about the history of PRC and History of Republic of China is the history of ROC - both parallel claimants to be the real China. When we have parallel claimants (such as North Korea and South Korea), we usually disambiguate the flags to the specific government. Flag of Korea for example redirects to List of Korean flags. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:30, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
 * The wider world does not call either of those states "Korea" and instead uses that term for the peninsular, the historic single entity and the aspiration of reunificationists. It is not a comparable example. Timrollpickering 12:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Support - As long as the article is about the flag of the country, not the country itself, let's be precise on the whole flag.

RfC: Flag of China or "Flag of the People's Republic of China"

Historical flags
has reverted my removal of the "Historical flags" section. I admit being a bit too rash, and I agree with the revert. We should, however, only present flags that can be said to have been "The flag of China" at one point in history. That excludes the "Blue sky/White Sun" flag. If we open the field to a flag that only has been the naval jack of China and a party flag, we may soon find the section filled with all the other flags from List of Chinese flags.

Also: As long as the "List of..." is linked as a main article, it should not be in the "See also" section.

Merger proposal
''This is clearly not going to succeed, and petered out over a week ago with no further arguments or proposals. Boldly closing this despite being involved as not worth dragging anyone else into this.'' -- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 19:26, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

I propose that Flag of the Republic of China be merged into Flag of China because both states claim to be "One China". Although that the content in the Flag of the Republic of China article can easily be explained in the context of Flag of China, and the Flag of China article is of a reasonable size that the merging of the Flag of the Republic of China will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. However, I created a draft page to see it works.

 * I personally cannot agree with the use of "state" in the Taiwan article because no one would interpret the word as "one of the states of a sovereign entity" in that kind of context and thus the word significantly implies statehood.

The Chinese Wikipedia article on the the Chinese flag uses the term 黄色 (huángsè) throughout. See for example the color chart. Is 'gold' used here in this English-language article in a heraldic sense? Why not use the term 'yellow' throughout the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Traversetravis (talk • contribs) 04:03, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not strictly heraldry. The colour name can be either: see . The article should be consistent throughout for each flag being described. Bazza (talk) 09:29, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

Lead
Mind clarifying your position for your undo edit, ?

As I had stated in the comment, that subject in lead is also not mentioned anywhere else in the body of the page. The passage was removed per WP:LEAD: "Apart from basic facts, significant information should not appear in the lead if it is not covered in the remainder of the article.".

On a wider level, no other National flag page makes an off hand comment on controveries existing, as duh, of course they do for most countries. Therefore, the inclusion of that line here and nowhere else is problematic on a matter of WP:DUE as well.

The part about Taiwan restricting the PRC flag is natural. Taiwan is its own country. That information on restriction is more trivia in scope, not something for the lede, and more fitting for the Flag of Taiwan page. Sleath56 (talk) 20:54, 29 September 2020 (UTC)
 * The etymological problem here is the name of the article: "Flag of China". Since there is more than one China [the PRC (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan)], as well as Chinese immigrants outside of China (in the Chinese diaspora), who, at times, use either flag to represent "China", I think at least a mention of the schism is justified, even if it doesn't fit into the article proper. According to WP:LEAD, the function of the lead should also be to "summarize the most important points, including any prominent controversies". Most other countries do not have similar controversies, at least not on that scale, since the Taiwan/China situation is very unique (Taiwan even being recognized as the legitimate "China" by the UN until 1971). TucanHolmes (talk) 19:47, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Firstly, just to clarify the meaning of WP:LEAD, this page is on the Flag of China, not the country itself. Political and controversial elements are only relevant as they relate to the flag itself. On this note, WP:LEAD states that controversies are one of the two principal elements admissible in lead so **long as they are represented in significant detail in the article itself.** You cannot have the sole mention of a controversy in merely the lead. The lead is not a billboard.

 * Secondly, there is an observation of reciprocality between this page and other national flag pages, in line with the consensus of various Talk discussions there on lead applicability. Flag of Russia, Flag of North Korea, Flag of Iran all have leads without any subjective (I'll come back to this) notions of what pertains as controversial in their leads. The most covered controversy of a flag by RS is none of those above. Flag burnings of the American flag has been covered in countless RS since the early 2000s, with a incident in Greece just this week, yet this does not mean Flag of the United States mentions any controversial aspect in its lead at all.

 * Leaving aside the discussion on what information is warranted in the leads of national flags to address this particular entry, the removed passage has blatant issues in its basic premise(beyond poor grammar). It was edited into the lead less than a week ago by an IP user, which was what initially rang my alarm bells. The observation that Taiwan banned the PRC flag is why the passage was warranted as subjectively describing a controversy. Yet, having taken a further look, the IP's entry is clear misinformation. Nowhere in the source they provided does it ever state that Taiwan had restricted display of the PRC flag.

 * It's on those grounds that I removed the week-old entry, due to reciprocality between national flag leads, the current state of this page, and because the entry itself was highly problematic. Sleath56 (talk) 02:13, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I agree. TucanHolmes (talk) 17:25, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Flag burning picture
An editor recently added a flag-burning picture. It has been reverted, re-added, moved to an arguably more sensible place in the article (by me), deleted, re-added, and deleted again.

I don't have a strong opinion on this, but I did some quick checking of other Flag articles and so I thought I would offer these comments. I checked the flag articles for some "western" powers (UK, USA, Canada, France) and some Asian powers (Japan, India) and the US is the only one with a flag burning picture. That picture appears in the "desecration" section.

So. I do not intend to involve myself in this revert cycle any more, but maybe those observations will be useful to others who might want to talk it through. JArthur1984 (talk) 21:48, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
