::::::: it is vital as both Michael Snow and Jimmy Wales have send a letter for volunteers to come up with new ideas and possibly new strategie in order to make Wikipedia a reliable and accurate source of information, having said that i have followed the discussion related to the Sahara conflict , although i can see different views , for instance about the language that should be used in the Western sahara region, although we have to take into account that Sahraouis speak , in general, classical Arabic , and they have their own dialect called Hassania , which is ot not far awawy from Arabic but possibly a bit hard to understand because of the strong accent of Sahrahouis as to French or Spanish languages , it is worth mentioning that these two languages became a fait accompli in the area because of the presence of French protoctorate in the south of Morocco and Spanish colonization in the nothern part of Morocco up to the borders with Mauritania , so obviously the main language was and should remain arabic , in addition to the hassania which is a local slung . 

  Now this isssue should not be a matter of discussion at all, but equally we would like to see Wikipedia as accurate and credible in its outlook and the way it does reflect facts and the reality of events , from this point of view it seems inappropriate to put the flag of such coutry that does not exist in practice the Sahraouis are besed either in the Shara region within the Moroccan borders , or those who are living in the refugee camps in Tindouf in Algeria , it is perfectly true that an organisation called the  "Polisario front" is in conflict with Morocco about the future of W sahara , but in practical terms there is no state ; first of all according to international law a state is defined by two main  factors ie: people and territory, secondly a recognition by the international community , up to now the polisario front is still based in Algeria and Sahraouis in the camps in the eyes of interrnational law are refugees , in addition to that there is no territory which is the main factor for any nation or people to claim an independant entity. 

 finally the United natons organization does not recognize the so -called RASD and most of the capitals of the world , in its resolution the UNSC talks about the polisario front. 
  Now it is obvious , and according to the argument above , in addition that Wikipedia is willing to maintain its credibility in terms of giving the right information, it will be wise to get rid of the flag until the conflict is over , if the Sahrouis managed to convince the international community and establish their own state in the W Sahara region then it will be appropriate to put the flag  simply because we will witness the creation of a new state , otherwise i believe that the flag in question should be removed for the sake of credibilty that we all are trying hard to maintain it .
