Talk:Flag of Croatia

message: I’ve deleted the flag of the so-called “Kingdom of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia inside Austria-Hungary” because checking informations written in other Wikipedia articles, I’ve seen that this  so-called “Kingdom” — contrary to Croatian Republic of Yugoslavia and the Independent State of Croatia — never existed officially; from 1867 to 1918 Dalmatia was in the Austrian part of the Empire, and the most of the north and west of today’s Croatia (Croatia and Slavonia) was part of the Hungarian part of the Empire. 
So, the deletion is based on a lack of evidences supporting this flag; anyway, possibly this flag “Kingdom of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia” came from Pan-Slavic movements inside Austria-Hungary during the second half of 19th century. --MaGioZal 02:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, the "Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia" existed as an autonomous unit of the Hungarian part of Austria-Hungary. It had "Dalmatia" only in the name, as a kind of "territorial aspiration" (Dalmatia itself was at the time indeed in the Austrian part of the monarchy and an autonomous unit as well). More on the flag on this page, under the heading "Triune Kingdom of Dalmatia, Croatia and Slavonia, 1867 - 1918" --Elephantus 20:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: As so often on Wikipedia, this English article has evidently been written by a non-native speaker, without editing. Typical Slavic (in this case presumably Croatian) errors include the omission of the definite and indefinite articles ('First field of....', 'was letter U'). I don't think it helps if unidiomatic English is used in Wikipedia articles, as it encourages people to make the same mistakes and spread them around. It also perpetuates the myth that it doesn't make any difference how you write English - whereas in fact English has perfectly clear rules of its own.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:44, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

message: I propose that the flag of the Nazi-puppet so-called Independent State of Croatia be removed.
While I am not contesting that significant portion of ethnic Croats used the flag, the modern day sovereign state Republic of Croatia explicitly rejects that it is a successor state to the Independent State of Croatia. In the section one of the currently in-force Croatian Constitution there is a outline of the Croatian sovereignty claim, and among number of claims there is also the following section (English translation):
"- establishing the foundations of state sovereignty during the course of the Second World War, by the decisions of the Antifascist Council of National Liberation of Croatia (1943), as opposed to the proclamation of the Independent State of Croatia (1941), and subsequently in the Constitution of the People's Republic of Croatia (1947) and all later constitutions of the Socialist Republic of Croatia (1963–1990)"
The critical part is in bold. Current day Republic of Croatia does not consider the Nazi puppet state to have been a legitimate expression of Croatian sovereignty. Thus, it does not seem appropriate to claim that the Independent State  of Croatia flag is a historical version of the current day flag of Republic of Croatia. Melmann 11:24, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
