====Flag of the Republic of Vietnam → Flag of South Vietnam====
I've raised this move (back to the article's original location) on the talk page, and got no objections. The basic rationale is the "most common name rule" and conformity (South Vietnam is called such, not Republic of Vietnam, a redirect - surely, therefore, "X of ..." articles should reflect this? -- Vardion 03:55, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The Vietnam Service Medal (which is based on the South Vietnamese flag), that is issued by the U.S. government uses 255,205,0 (RGB) for the yellow and 186,12,47 (RGB) for the red, for what it's worth. Those shades are closer to what's seen in the photographs. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 04:47, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

It then apologized and promised to re install the flag afterwards." 
as it was an ongoing event on 3 October 2014 at 04:41 that was resolved after the page was protected on 3 October 2014‎ at 20:14.

message: Please see this article, the story was invented by a member of the Việt Tân and later repeated by Worldstatesmen and then quoted in a doctoral thesis of an American (South Vietnam-born) student at the University of California. There exist no primary sources to back up the claim that it was ever used before 1948 and the flag is likely based on the flag of the Autonomous Republic of Cochinchina (created in 1946) and not on any Nguyễn Dynasty flag. In order to prevent the further spread of fake news I suggest re-writing the section to debunk the claims rather than removing it, so no false information about it would spread any further. --Donald Trung (talk)  01:01, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Thành Thái flag is fake 

message: I have long suspected that this flag is actually based on the flag of French Cochinchina during the late 1940's and according to this article it is, the article makes a number of claims citing a number of books I don't have that this flag was either designed by Christian clergy or French military officers. Perhaps if this article can be deemed reliable it could be worked in the text, of course after making it more neutral as its author has a very pro-Communist anti-Republic of Vietnam stance and biases. But the work does sufficient research to debunk a number of myths that have been circulating about this flag over the years that I think should be more broadly addressed here in order to prevent the further spread of disinformation. --Donald Trung (talk)  14:16, 12 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that this was most likely the case. A fair observation would tell us that the flag of the Provisional Central Government of Vietnam was almost identical to the flag of the Republic of Cochinchina, except the colors. Whoever "designed" the yellow national flag must have seen the Cochinchina flag before. They simply adopted the pattern of that available flag and only changed the colors.
