replies: text: Oh, I don't actually regard them as my contributions. I found out long ago that in community projects, taking your changes too personal just gives you headaches. It's a bit like with children: You bring them into the world, and you try to do your best with them, but once they are accepted into the community you have to let go and assume the world will treat them well. Having said that, I do hope everyone reading this and editing the page is trying to improve the article. Mysha (nl)
Hello Mysha, thanks alot for your kind advice, and food-for-thought about articles becoming "your children".  I will try to look at that way, but I admit that it will take time for me to come around to that.  Flags are very important to me, and I thank you so much for your immeasurable help with this article.  You have really improved this article by-leaps-and-bounds.  Thank you so muc for that indeed.
Take care, and best wishes ArmchairVexillologistDon 16:40, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The changes that were introduced since I last edited this page are quite good; I hope we can keep them. I did unblank the rest of the page however, for two reasons:
# It's difficult for me to move the information from "The British ensigns of the British Commonwealth of Nations" to the British ensigns page if I can't see the information.
# It says explicitely at the top of the page that we shouldn't blank the page.
As can be seen under #Use of the word template and under #Ensign, the last issue commented on in the page is already being addressed. Everybody keep cool, together we're really improving this page. Mysha (nl)

thread_title:  Unblanked with changes 

message: I've moved some more information to the lists beside the flags. This puts all information on a flag of a colony together.
It also allows us to list for each:
* The charge
* The type of each - flag and/or ensign.
* The adoption date(s) and if so, the date is was replaced.
I understand several readers have sources for this, so I hope this can be filled in quickly. Not only is this information that should be available in the article, it will also show more clearly whether we've listed flags which are/were not actually ensigns. Mysha (nl)
:Mysha, several people have affirmed, particularly on the RFD page, that the flags being discussed in the part of the article that I hid are not ensigns per se, ie they are not naval or military banners or derived from French naval flags as, say the Canadian Red Ensign is - they just happen to look like British ensigns. I'd like to suggest that the second half of the article either be moved to the French flag article or to a new article called French colonial flags. What do you think?Homey 17:54, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Comments from the RFD on the "ensign" issue:
===French_ensigns===
the basic concept is based on flawed research, namely, that there exist a certain number of plain flag with the french flag in canton used to design colonial flag. some french posession do have a tricolore in canton but these are either pre-existing flag to which a tricolore was added or flags that were created in toto. --Marc pasquin 01:38, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Note:
From 1790-1794, the French Republic used this Naval Ensign.  It was requested by the French National Assembly and assented to by the King of France.  It would seem the French did not execute King Louis, and Queen Marie-Antonniette, until after 1790 .
Navy Ensign and Jack (1790-1794)

This corresponded directly with the British White Ensign (pre-1801, no St. Georges Cross on white background).

You see their is some merit to this article (after all eh!).
(Note: the 1707-1720 date is incorrect.  A pre-1801, and post-1801, plain white background British White Ensign variant, BOTH existed as well).
