5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:06, 26 May 2017 (UTC).
Both hooks are sufficiently interesting and sourced in the article; I have no major preference for either or. The article was recently 5x expanded, according to a check (closer please second this for absolute certainty). No copyright concerns and the editor completed their QPQ.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:33, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
Could you add a cite to any of the text in the Historical Flags chart? Where did you get this information? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 22:52, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Seriously? Descriptions do not need to be cited, since I'm just describing what's in front of me. The table was already included when I began the 5× expansion. The information is from Wikimedia Commons, which I'd take as reliable unless people are creating fake files. —Bloom6132 (talk) 23:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
- I'm referring to the text, which is not in the graphics file. As the editor who improved this article for DYK, I would imagine you would cite this information in some way. In keeping with WP:DYKSG#D2, I look for a minimum of one cite in a chart to cover the rule. Yoninah (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
