message: Anyone else think that the fact that the Flat Earth Society considers the map on the UN flag as confirmation of their claims significant enough to put on this page? I was going to put on there, but decided not to because it does seem a little out of place. Of course so does the Star Trek reference...

replies: text: Alright then, I'm going to remove the Star Trek reference. If that bothers anyone they can talk about it here.Sjmcfarland 04:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there any proof that these flags are based on the UN flag and it's colors? Simply being blue and white, or containing olive branches is not proof that these flags were designed based on the UN flag. Olive branches are a common symbol since at least ancient Greece, if not earlier. If claims like these are going to be made they need to be backed up with proof (either a wikipedia page on the specific flags or from another credible source).

message: I have two sources — The World Encyclopedia of Flags by Alfred Znamierowski (), p. 222 and Guide to the Flags of the World by Mauro Talocci (edited and revised by Whitney Smith, ), p. 131 — which both say that the blue background of the Somali flag was adopted in tribute to the United Nations; however, neither says anything about the white...

Shouldn't this be changed, now that we're in December 2015?

message: Cross-post from my message to commons:user:Huhsunqu on Commons:
I was looking at the article on the UN flag and the first flag design: :en:Flag of the United Nations
That article also uses your flag :File:Flag_of_the_United_Nations_%281945-1947%29.svg to illustrate the first design of the seal and therefore of the flag. Unfortuantely, I think that the design is not correct.
This official UN document from October 15th, 1946.
http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/NL4/604/21/PDF/NL460421.pdf?OpenElement
describes the first design of the UN logo with four circles and cutting of at 40 degrees south, cutting Argentina into half.
It was then altered to this version http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/NL4/604/26/PDF/NL460426.pdf?OpenElement which was then approved on December 7th, 1946.
Maybe you can correct your flag. I will crosspost this on the talk page of the English Wikipedia article.
Best
