File talk:Flag of the United Suvadive Republic.svg

The direction of this flag is not correct, since in original flag red colour is in top and blue is in below but in this red is down and blue is up. And also in original one top star is on left side and down star is on right side, but in this flag top star is on right side and down star is on left side.

you can see the original flag in the

photo of Afeef Didi and the original flag's picture, compare the position of stars in the flag in Afeef Didi's picture. so pls correct the flag. I also have the special issue of Times of Addu published on second national day of suvadive republic in which also the flag is published.

The SVG on Commons can be flipped around to correct the issue. I will do so shortly. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:20, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected the flag. It will take some time for the servers to show it properly though so please be patient. Fry1989 ^eh? 21:44, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Suvadive flag was correct already[edit]

Actually there was no error in the Suvadive flag. The blue was always up in the history of the republic. Only now Wikipedia has reversed the flag, but please don't claim it was based on my "Afeef Didi with Suvadive flag" picture. The artwork I did was based on patches of old pictures of Afeef and the flag was meant to be hanging from a pole in the horizontal position that cannot be seen. I regret the errors this has caused, but the error has to be corrected. Mohonu (talk) 06:01, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
