Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Recently expanded 5x, adequately sourced, passes all other criteria. Both hooks are fine, although I prefer ALT1 hook as it's more interesting than the original one. Passed. — Golden call me maybe? 14:56, 29 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong colours

[edit]

Although the government indeed uses the flag with the arms with a red bordure, it should be an orange bordure. The decree regarding the flag can be found here https://lokaleregelgeving.overheid.nl/CVDR206068/1 and refers to the coat of arms. Which according to the island decree of 1982 shows an orange bordure (https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/index.php?title=Sint_Maarten_(eiland)#National_arms_of_Sint_Maarten) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A466:F20E:1:E0D2:504B:D65E:7822 (talk) 14:54, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
