I'm no flag expert, but the golden triangle is actually in front of the other triangle, rather than behind. Right?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.168.74.82 (talk) 08:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

message: That yellow stripe in the middle of the flag... Is that a Canadian pale? --  Denelson83  05:11, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The yellow stripe shown on the current flag is a Canadian pale.  On the last two historic flags, either they are not supposed to be Canadian pales, or the flags were drawn wrong because the center stripe is not half the width of the flag like a Canadian pale is supposed to be.

thread_title:  Historical flags don't have svg edition 

message: In the chart of historical designs, the two most recent (preceding the current design) are described as Canadian pales (a tricolor in which the center stripe is half the flag's length rather than one-third), but the images shown are equal-width tricolors. Can someone verify the proportions and edit either the text or the images, whichever may be incorrect? [If you do, please be sure the white fimbriations on the older one are correct as well. If there's a strict definition of their width, it should be duly noted.] Etymographer (talk) 05:14, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Flag of Peru

message: I have noticed a lot of sports-related and news articles using Peru's state flag, with the emblem, instead of the civil flag, without the emblem.  Based on what this article suggests, and also based on the state flag article, it seems that national sports teams use the civil flag.  How can this be resolved?  I believe there must be one correct flag to use, and I posit that it is the civil flag.

thread_title: Deleting Design and Symbolism section

message: I have changed from the regular tricolor to the tricolor w/ coat of arms as the main flag of Peru. In almost every website or location I visit, the Peruvian flag has the coat of arms present.
For example:
*United Nations 1
*Multiple flag websites 2, 3
*National Geographic 4
*Encyclopedia Britannica 5
* Central Intelligence Agency 6
The civilian flag may be intended for large civilian use, but the majority of civilians I have seen with a Peruvian flag is the National flag with the coat of arms.--Zfigueroa (talk) 16:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Britannica is really strange as Peru's flag does not have any orange in it. Anyhow, the official Peruvian flag is the one without the coat of arms.

message: The terminology is using wrong:
According to the Constitution of Peru, the flag doesn't contain any kind of seal  (see article 49). So, the standard would be the unsealed, and the others the variations. Furthermore, article 8 of Decree 11323, about denominations, names as "pabellón nacional" the one with laureate coat, and as "Bandera nacional" (national flag) the uncoated one, names that have been mixed up in the table.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazymadlover (talk • contribs) 17:21, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

message: The Jan 2010 flag was adopted by the département, not the région.  As "French Guiana" describes both, it is POV to describe this as the flag of French Guiana.  Kevin McE (talk) 17:28, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Whose flag? (POV issue) 

message: This first sentence of the article is nonsense. French Guiana flies its national flag, the flag of France, just like all the states of the United States and Australia and all the provinces of Canada fly their respective countries' national flags. Those states and provinces also have their own flags, which they fly in addition. If, in contrast, French Guiana doesn't have its own flag, then it doesn't have its own flag. The French flag is still its national flag, not it's own departmental flag. Largoplazo (talk) 18:43, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose theoretically they could also use the flag as a departmental flag, but that would be unusual.

Talk:David Balfe

message: It seems there is another musician, songwriter, and producer named David Balfe, not sure if any of this is the same person or not. It appears he wrote several songs under the name Rod McQueen, including "Beautiful Sunday (song)" and "Blue Is the Colour (song)". He was in the band "Sunshine" who were part of the UK selection for Eurovision 1976. He lived somewhere near Inverness, and had a recording studio in the area. He leased Duncraig Castle for a few years, as a project to try and open a music centre. And father of Lorne Balfe, also a music producer. Looks like he is a bit older than the David in this article. Probably worth creating a separate article, need to find some good references, seems he got a few mentions in old newspapers. --Fuaran buidhe (talk) 00:20, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Counter-battery fire

message: Aerial artillery spotting in WWI had nothing to do with counterbattery missions. Aircraft-directed artillery in WWI involved a lone gun or small battery firing at a pre-registered position, then the airplane radioed corrections after noting the fall of the first shots.

'Epatries' is a word I do not know and cannot find reference to.  It might be a misspelling of 'apatrides' or perhaps 'expatriot', though neither seems completely appropriate.

Template talk:MedalistTable

message: I've added full documentation on how to use this template. I've been using it for some time now and the fact that I only discovered the "labelwidth" option today is quite indicative of general level of understanding.
In the documentation process it became clear that Template:Sports result table is pretty much redundant. I'm of the strong opinion that the MedalistTable template is aesthetically superior on all fronts. The only missing option was a simple "font size" change: "Sports results table" uses 95%. I have now added this feature so fonts, and therefore tables, can be increased or reduced in size where necessary.
What do others think about this? I'm happy to do a changeover from "sports results table" to "MedalistTable" if anyone else agrees. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)Join WikiProject Athletics! 18:35, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd certainly support that.  But I'm not sure you need to (ever?) use the fontsize parameter.  All the instances of Template:Sports result table that I remember seeing with 95% are somewhat gratuitous and unnecessary.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 18:51, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps, but the default is 100 anyway, so simply omitting the font size option will give the usual result. I'd rather leave the option just in case there is a decent use for it that I haven't yet seen. When there are results in excess on one page, 1998 Commonwealth Games for instance, then it reduces overall length. All those results should be on their own page, but that's another clean up task... Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)Join WikiProject Athletics! 12:18, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, ok, I had inferred that you were planning to replace all the instances of Sports result table with MedalistTable using 95% font.  But if you replace with the standard font size, I'm all in favor of your plan!  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 16:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about that, I'm not advocating a font size decrease! Quite the opposite, this template will actually mean an increase. And with good reason. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits)Join WikiProject Athletics! 19:45, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

The distinction is critical, because the Uniform Crime Reports are influence by people's willingness to report crime while the National Victimization Survey is not (or at least not to the same degree).  
The Uniform Crime Reports are influenced by people's perceptions of the likely consequences of reporting, and those could change over time in response various things including shifts in the editorial policies of the media consumed by the public.

I know that this is beyond the comprehensions of Americans who think that The Queen wears a crown or at least a tiara while having a shit, but people of that class, the Protestant landed gentry in the eastern provinces of the German Reich, very often lead a very frugal lifestyle, in spite of the huge estate and the big house, a lifestyle most trailer park dwellers at your end would find beyond what they deserve themselves, first because those immovables were all they had and second (IF they had means beyond that) because they would have found "a wealthy lifestyle" as you understand it immodest, even unethical.
