Autonomous communtiy flags[edit]

I'll dig up a codified rule if you like, or bring in WP:OLY, but these can't stay and should not return (I have removed them). Catalonia, Galicia, and Basque Country aren't participants at these Games (curiously the flags for Andalusia and the Balearic Islands, Alabau and Yagüe, were omitted), Spain is. Perhaps nothing explains this better than the water polo silver medal – would every player have a flag next to their name? That would be a pointless eyesore.

Consider that US state flags are not on the US article, nor are the flags of England/Scotland/Northern Ireland/Isle of Man/Jersey/Guernsey/whatever on the GB article. Green-eyed girl (Talk · Contribs) 02:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
