You have also been warned about edit-warring. Your suggested wording, which reflects a modern nationalist tone, is not in keeping with Wikipedia policy to maintain a neutral point of view and stick to what reliable sources directly say (the policies can be read at these links: WP:NPOV and WP:RS). Vaguely citing a book about the history of Algeria simply because the Fatimids are mentioned in it does not justify changing the introduction to fit this point of view. The previous wording is amply clear and accurate in its historical context. R Prazeres (talk) 20:51, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

message: Let's please stop adding hypothetical flags to the infobox. We do not know what Fatimid flags looked like. Simply citing sources that mention in passing that the dynastic colour was green or white does not allow us to reconstruct an actual flag or banner, even if we leave aside the disagreement between the cited references and the mention of red and yellow in one of them. There's no reason to think the Fatimids flew plain green or plain white banners. That's WP:OR, and not very informative to readers anyways (see also the recent discussion at Talk:Umayyad Caliphate). I've moved the text of the flag caption (from this addition and an apparently forgotten text from before that) provisionally to the "Dynasty" section (it could go elsewhere if preferred), and removed the flag image from the infobox.

replies: text: Hello again @R Prazeres, I sourced this Fatimid Flaghttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:White flag 3 to 2.svg, the Fatimids according to arab sources were literally called "Those who wear white" (المبيضة) just like the Abbassids were called "Those who wear black" (المسودة).

replies: text: I don't think we should be adding any flags to the infobox here. Like the issue discussed at Talk:Umayyad Caliphate, all we have are reports of a colour, but no direct representations of a standard flag. This is true for most pre-modern states in the region too. Some references refer to the Fatimid colour as being green instead, which makes the issue all the more confused. Since it's not straightforward and it's not essential information that needs to be at the top of the article, it's best to keep it out of the infobox, but it can certainly be mentioned in the body of the article, if it isn't already.

replies: text: It’s a bit confusing I agree, the Umayyads, Fatimids, almohads and merinids were reported having or using white flags.  Nourerrahmane (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
