Can somebody confirm that these flags are actually public domain? --Apoc2400 (talk) 16:19, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Source for flag descriptions?

The various sub-pages ("List of municipal flags of some region") contain descriptions of the flags. None of these descriptions cite any sources, and some seem rather dubious. e.g. "Kurobe: The letter K." That looks like a mountain and rivers to me.

Many others make assertions that cry out for attribution. e.g. "Onomichi: It is generally believed that the upper red represents Mukaishima Island and the lower red represents the city on Honshū." Believed by who?

If these descriptions reflect some source or sources, they need to be cited. If they are simply the impression of various Wikipedia editors, they are original research and therefore problematic, especially where dubious or controversial. Can we work on getting these either cited or removed? By the way, what is the intended benefit of describing the flags rather than just listing and illustrating them?

I have heard no objections, so I will remove the unsourced descriptions, and add lead sections to each daughter-page pointing back to this page. I will do this one page at a time to give any interested editors a chance to reverse my actions if they object. Cnilep (talk) 04:34, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

Done. Cnilep (talk) 03:49, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

List of Japanese municipal flags → Lists of Japanese municipal flags – This is a list of lists, and the title should reflect that. Eridian314 (talk) 19:28, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

Support - Seems like a simple bureaucratic move to better reflect the page's contents. Not sure if a request is necessary. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 12:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

@HumanBodyPiloter5: Alright, should I set up a new request for a non-controversial technical move? Eridian314 (talk) 15:00, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
