message: This line: "A new design was adopted on 20 January, 1986" contradicts the pictures and text at the bottom that says the flag was changed in 1987, which is correct? - MTC 05:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  1986 or 1987? 

message: For a state to arbitrarily change its flag too many times - despite being the same regime - in my opinion is to hinder that country's political enculturalization and socialization ... in other words, alienating and confusing the populace. Le Anh-Huy 06:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: One thing to also note, this is going to cost nearly 50,000 of the Lesotho currency to make this flag change happen. There will be a lot of other things thr gov't will pay for to announce the flag change. That money could have been used elsewhere where it will have more of a benefit towards the populace.

replies: text: Is this really the place to discuss such things? I thought this page for discussion of the article. Romis 13:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, but the likelyhood of the flag being discussed will be small, so I do not mind this little exchange. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 19:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Flag Change is bad

message: I sent the BBC a message using their feedback form:
:You have an article "Lesotho unfurls 'peaceful' flag", yet no picture of the new flag. You can find one on Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Lesotho
:There is also a better quality image of the old flag on Wikipedia as well.
:Hope this helps.

:Thanks for that. It has been added.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: According to fotw, the reason why the first flag of Lesotho adopted in 1966 was relinquished in 1987 is because it had the same exact blue-white-red-green colors seen on the flag of the Basotho National Party, (the Basotho National Party is a political party that ruled Lesotho until a 1986 military coup).
Should this fact be added on this article?
