Talk:Flags of the U.S. states and territories

message: I don't agree with your revert.  To a casual reader, your version looks like a hundred links to the article Flag - see WP:EASTEREGG.  Readers shouldn't have to hover over  a link to see where it goes - and that's even tougher on mobile where you have to long-press the link.  A simple, non piped link to Flag of Some State makes it very clear what the readers will get if they click.  This article is "Flags of the U.S. states and territories" (not List of states and territories of the United States) so the individual flag articles are the most important links; they should be prominent and hard to miss.  Meanwhile, the top-level articles on the states themselves are low-value links; they're common words readers will be familiar with per WP:OVERLINK, and a bunch of irrelevant links makes it harder to find the relevant links.  In the unlikely scenario of someone genuinely wanting a link to the top-level Michigan article, they'll find it in the first paragraph of Flag of Michigan.  I really don't see what the value add for the state links is here.  SnowFire (talk) 06:43, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The flag of the state of Utah is not the most recent state flag to be adopted. The current flag of the state of New York was, for example, more recently adopted (2020).

message: As far as I can tell, state flags originate with the American Civil War, when secessionist Southern Democrat (an ideology which, along with the rest of that time's Democratic party, held the primacy of states as sovereign entities over the federal government) states chose the flags to represent their new nations in confederacy. The article glosses over that and attributes State flags to the World's fair, which appears to be true of several states, but apparently not any in the former CSA. There seems to be movement in other articles which imply that state flags, like the New York State Seal article (there is no state flag article), originate with state seals. Obviously, not the case. Regardless of the reason for all this, it should be made clear that the first state flags were created for the CSA's member states. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 06:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

message: How is the US State flags section organized? It isn't alphabetically, it doesn't appear to be by date of origin. What am I missing here? It appears to me that it's just randomly ordered ... could that be fixed? Could it be sorted by some system that would be helpful to readers, or at least make sense?

message: Looks like the hero image is a .png rather than an .svg, and I can't seem to find an .svg version of the new map. Would be good if we could adapt this one. Looks like @lumap15 was the first to upload a map including territories, maybe they'd have the .svg sources they used to make the .png? TheTaraStark (talk) 16:53, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
