I have removed the table with 'See also'-links to 'Sovereign state flags in [year]' galleries at Commons. The reason is that these galleries have gotten completely out of hand. In the last couple of months, they have been expanded and filled up with unsourced 'Other entities', 'Other cultural', 'Sovereign U.S. states' (sic!) etc. to the point of being made completely valueless for an encyclopedia.

Many odd edits have been made on February 23rd, 2024 (Template change, some flag images changed, etc.). Should we revert them ? ChaseYUL99 (talk) 23:13, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as it was easier to edit the flags as an image gallery instead of a gallery template. For the nth time (talk) 10:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These two are territories of UN recognised countries. I don't think they belong in this article. Can someone please clarify why they should remain, as I'm thinking about deleting them. For the nth time (talk) 10:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request. 108.160.120.64 (talk) 23:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks. Malerisch (talk) 23:56, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:List of national flags of sovereign states which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 22:54, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
