Talk:Flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina

message: I would have to say that all of the Second Set of Proposal flags are much better than the current day flag. Yes, some of them would need ajustment, but the colors and design seem to be much nicer than the current day flag. The current one has nothing to do with the Bosnia at all, the Second Set flags tie in the whole country together into one flag. I wote this article with some only research help. I kept most of the information from the previous article. --Kseferovic
:Screw the new flag and all the proposals, the best flag Bosnia ever had was the Bosnian Fleur-de-lis (Ljiljan) and we nd they should bring that flag back
::Yes, it is true, I would want the "Ljiljan" back. However, due to the situation that Bosnia has gone through, it is very unlikely that it will come back soon. I do not see the issues that Serbians and Croatians have with that flag. Tvrtko, who was a Christian, used and created the design. So what is all the fuss about the flag being only a sign of Bosniaks (ethnic majority of Bosnia and Herzegovina who are muslims). I am a Bosniak myself and do support the old flag. However, I do not see the issue others have with it. --Kseferovic 22:15, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed flags

message: This page appears largely redundant with List of Bosnian and Herzegovinian flags.  I propose that information from both pages be consolidated here, and that this page be renamed Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina to be consistent with the many other "Flag of ..." pages that describe national flags and their history. --ScottMainwaring 04:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Proposed merge and renaming

message: Every other nation (most) have both "Flag of (country name)" and "List of (country name) flags"
The article Flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina has much more information than List of Bosnian and Herzegovinian flags. This is for one purpose. The list of is mainly there to show the pictures with some description information, while the article Flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina is there to give more information, along with images.
It is like that for every nation. For example, let's take the country of India:
*Flag of India
*List of Indian flags
*BOTH incorporate the same images, except one is specifically for learning info, while the other is there to quickly glance over the flag images in a more easier way.
*Also placing this as "merge" is totally incorrect, since there truly is nothing to add to Flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina (everything is already there) from the article List of Bosnian and Herzegovinian flags. Once again,List of Bosnian and Herzegovinian flags is there to serve as a quick glance over the Bosnian flags using textual information from the article Flags of Bosnia and Herzegovina (except the text is much more shortened).
*Deleting this would mean one would have to delete all of the other "List of (country name) flags"

replies: text: I'm all for consistency, and would be happy to see both a "Flag of B&H" (describing in detail the national flag) and a "List of B&H flags" (concisely listing the national flags as well as others in use in the country), if the "List of..." page covered a superset of the flags covered by the "Flag of..." page (as is the case for India, actually).  But as you point out, the pages at present cover the identical set of flags: that's the redundancy.  There does seem to be some info on the List page that doesn't appear in the Flag page -- e.g., the dates of Austro-Hungarian rule -- hence my suggestion for a merge.  If more flags (municipal? provincial? political?) from Bosnia and Herzegovina could be added to the List page, that would be perhaps a better solution than a merge, but where are those flag images?  I don't agree that one page should simply be an abridged version of the other.  Finally, I think we both do agree on the renaming, from "Flags of..." to "Flag of..." for the page about the national flag. --ScottMainwaring 23:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I will add the Cantonal flags (Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina) and Regional flags (Republika Srpska). Also, just so you know, the flag of Republika Srpska will have to be changed by September due to the Constituional Court of BiH ruling that it conveyed way too much Serbian nationalism in BiH. The CCCC (4 S) [C in cyrillic is S] is a Serbian symbol that the Constitutional Court of BiH is trying to remove from the coat of arms of Republika Srpska. I will state this in the additions. --Kseferovic 00:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
