message: 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)
replies: text: 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. --benlisquareT•C•E 11:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

message: After an attempt to change the article back to the "Flag of the People's Republic of China", I noticed there's a hat note on the Law of the People's Republic of China reading: "Before 1971, the Republic of China was commonly known as "China" when it was replaced by the People's Republic of China. Since then, the Republic of China has been commonly known as "Taiwan"." Any comments or options whether you guys move the page again or use the WP:MOVP option?

thread_title:  Postscript file of Chinese Flag 

message: 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.

message: 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)
