message: Can we get more details on the symbol in the upper-left?  Looking at the image, I can make out some, but not all, of the text, and can't tell who the person is supposed to represent.
*That symbol is the seal of the State of Georgia.  See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seal_of_Georgia

message: I heard somewhere that the '01 flag was abandoned because it included an illegal display of the US flag on/in another flag, which is somewhere prohibited.  I glanced through the flag code on wikisource, which is where I expected it to be, and came up empty.  Does anyone know specifics about this?  Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about?

replies: text: I've never heard that.  I think it was changed because not many people liked it.  The 2001 flag was hurridly designed by a committee who didn't know how to design a flag. Also, many people wanted to stick with the previous flag.  The state legislature changed the flag again in 2003, and people voted on whether they wanted the 2001 flag of 2003 flag.  The 2003 flag won by a large margin. Bubba73 (talk) 02:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I added four older flags.  They appear differently on the page according to what browser text size you are using - even out of order in some cases.  I don't know how to fix it.  If I get around to it, I'll put individual images of the four flags that are in one image.  Bubba73 (talk) 02:19, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I understand the changes starting in 1956, but does anyone know why they changed it so many times before then? 207.203.80.14 21:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That could be an interesting part of the story to follow up on. I seem to recall that the US flag had similar issues at one point...that arrangement of stars wasn't specifies, and as a result you got some clever variations. The transition from individual seamstresses making design decisions to having everything highly specified could be very interesting. PurpleChez (talk) 17:59, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Why so many changes?

message: Removed the "Roy's Rag" reference. First off, it was weasely, stating "called by some" and never citing who the "some" might include. Second, it comes close to sounding like it's trying to advance the POV of the confederate flag supporters. It didn't add anything, it wasn't the proper tone...and I lived in Georgia at that time, followed the flag issue very, very closely, was well aware of the bad feelings confederate apologists had toward Barnes, and never once heard the term used at the time.PurpleChez (talk) 00:04, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

message: Please explain how ‘The current flag of the U.S. state of Georgia’ is not an acceptable intro. The fact that the URL is .... Flag of Georgia (U.S. state) is not good enough, we’re talking about the content itself. Zarcadia (talk) 00:50, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Flag of Georgia (U.S. state). Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.senate.ga.gov/sro/Documents/StudyCommRpts/00StateFlag.pdf
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.house.gov/johnlewis/oe_flag_lott.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I removed the clause "…and [Georgia] is the only one with a direct copy of a flag once flown by the Confederate States of America." The meaning of "direct copy" is vague and unsupported by the cited references. The flag is a new design that did not exist prior to 2003, so the claim is not that it is an "exact" copy of a Confederate flag. Whatever the editor was trying to say, it cannot have been a statement that belongs in an encyclopedia, especially in the lede of an article. — ℜob C. alias ALAROB 15:34, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
