message: The current version of this page alludes to the domain vexilla-mundi.com for the color chart shown. It does not however indicate which page on that domain was intended.
This page on that same domain apparently disagrees with the color chart on the wikipedia page.

thread_title:  Colors of the Flag of the Ukraine 

message: Maybe it's an idea to create a new section for flags derived from/based on the flag of Ukraine (such as this one added by ) and restrict the "Similar flags" section to flags that are similar but unrelated to the Ukrainian bicolor? SiBr4 ("CyberFour") (talk) 18:45, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Similar flags 

message: This article describes how in the original flag yellow on top represents the sun and blue on the bottom represents water. Then the flag was flipped upside down in 1918 and why the country is doomed under this flag.  There's an effort to flip the flag to its original version with yellow on top.

It's too large a block of text to leave unsourced so I'd like to pull it out. I'll hold off in case anyone wants to add cites. Jasphetamine (talk) 23:29, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Blue and Gold? 

message: Could we get more information on the significance of the colors? I saw only a reference to "fire and water". Very plausible, but to me the colors could also refer to land and sea. (While soil is generally seen as being brown, I suspect that the yellow color refers to the crops, especially in many grains - but this is just a guess on my part) Could someone with better knowledge on this subject provide referenced explanation of that? It would improve the article. Thanks! Juneau Mike (talk) 02:28, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning of the colors 

message: I understand from the news [citation needed] that the president has announced that May 8 will now be in remembrance of WWII and May 9 will be to remember the unity of Europe under the current invasion. I presume this affects the flag days can. Could someone with reliable access to reliable sources adjust this page accordingly?

thread_title:  Please ... 

message: This article was spreading (until my changes yesterday) a claim that there was a colour change in 2006. The spreading part was successful, it made it to a few dozen wikis. The claim did not cite any sources though:
# The article contradicted itself on which flag was used before 2006. It cited both :File:Flag of Ukraine (1992–2006).svg and :File:Flag of Ukraine (fair blue).svg as official flags in this period. 
# The only two sources to confirm this 'change' were the 2006 standard and the 1992 law. Still the 1992 law just defines the colours as (dark) blue and yellow without specifying exact shades, while the 2006 standard keeps the same colour names and defines precise shades. These two sources combined are not an evidence that there was a change in 2006 at all.
# There is no source confirming what the 1992–2006 'official' design actually was. We can see a decent use of :File:Flag of Ukraine.svg in that period, starting with  this 1992 postage stamp dedicated to the official flag approval,  and up to official photos from 1999, 2001 or 2002. Of course there were other designs used: :File:Leonid Kadenyuk.jpg already used in the article is a great illustration of using two different shades simultaneously. This source specifically on the topic of flag colours says that the shade of blue (dark rather than sky) was already chosen back in 1992, so :File:Flag of Ukraine (fair blue).svg couldn't have been official after 1992 (although it's still sometimes used). In addition, this article mentions 2006 as a straightforward confirmation of the existing variant rather than a new variant. Regarding :File:Flag of Ukraine (1992–2006).svg, it seems to be just an accidental (and wrong because immediately self-reverted) choice of colors by an early Commons user, see :c:File talk:Flag of Ukraine (1992–2006).svg. No evidence any of these variants was ever officially endorsed in any way, rather there was no common standard and different flag manufacturers and flag users used different colours.
# There is no source explicitly stating that colours were changed in 2006. This is not a popular theory in Ukraine (or actually anywhere outside English Wikipedia), so there also no sources debunking this theory. 
Thus please provide reliable sources confirming that the 2006 change actually existed before putting it back to the article. Thanks — NickK (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
