Flag of Australia[edit]

Comprehensive article on the flag of Australia, with multiple contributors, on par with other featured flags. Comments welcome.--nixie 04:26, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Appears to be adequate.
  • Support. Very good article in line with the recently promoted Flag of Mexico. One thing more I would like to see, under the Protocol section, is what the recommended way to salute the flag is (if any). Andrew Levine 05:46, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • [1] says that all should face the flag, no hand salute is given unless a person is wearing a uniform. Head-gear should also be removed too. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) Fair use policy 06:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • At least in some uniformed organisations, (uniform) hats are kept on and only officers salute. On the whole, I'm not sure that most of the protocol suggestions on that page are official in any sense. JPD (talk) 10:40, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Good reading and informative throughout, well done. A minor comment, the last paragraph of the Other Australian flags section could probably do with a little information or even a link as to how those flags are officially recognised, given that the article puts some emphasis on the flags act. --darkliighttalk 06:22, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. This looks great and kudos to the major authors of the article. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) Fair use policy 14:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Well done, Aussies. We poms must get the Union Flag sorted out. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:28, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Nice and well written. —BrianSmithson 03:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Nicely done. Australia's pride in flag form as a well-done article! Uncke Herb 10:30, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Interesting reading and a great article. -- Ian ≡ talk 13:38, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - well written, well referenced, comprehensive. Rossrs 14:15, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, good charts with explanations, interesting history section. Brandmeister 15:10, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment and weak support: I notice that the National Flag Day and Centenary Flag sections are painfully short. Could they be added to the "history" section, or better yet, expanded (probably not). Thank you. --Trevdna 16:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Painfully short is a bit of an overstatement. There really isn't much information about these subjects, but they both warrant mention and are distinct topics from the history of the flag.--nixie 22:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, well done! :) - Mailer Diablo 18:07, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
