Work needed

[edit]

I'm porting over a lot of info from the spanish wiki, but I'm doing a terrible job of doing it in any organized fashion. Please pardon the mess and poor grammar/terminology. AniRaptor2001 (talk) 04:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've done a lot of work, it should be passable now. AniRaptor2001 (talk) 06:43, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please double-check the proportions

[edit]

Could somebody please check the proportions again and preferably find an Ecuadorian or Spanish-language source? When I added an flag using these proportions to the stub templates for Ecuador, I was contacted by an Ecuadorian editor (User:Andres C., currently inactive) who stated that these proportions are never used and that he had never seen them before. The images I can find, even on official Ecuadorian websites, seem to use several different proportions. Thanks. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 10:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

anyflag.com, worldflags101.com, fotw.net and crwflags.com all give 1:2 proportions. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of thes sites, nor do I have grounds to discredit them. I have found no source giving any other proportion. Kevin McE 13:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I knew it. This question got raised again. Check out how wiki's version of Kazakhstan flag is, compared to that version given by the CIA. If wiki has it right, then we can pretend the star spangled banner also is 2 by 3....?--82.134.28.194 (talk) 06:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
To correct myself, I did click on where I myself wrote the name of KZ. Wiki has changed it. After 4 years, one might wish to know if it is correct to make edit on the flagof Ecuador.--82.134.28.194 (talk) 06:37, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The Kazkahstan flag is 1x2, the US flag is 10x19 (but the 2x3 ratio is more common in the US) and Ecuador is 2x3 according to published (and revised) government documents. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:53, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Important as well, can someone upload the flag with the previous proportions as a different file. It's anachronistic to display the 2x3 Ecuadorian flag when the 1x2 flag was used before 2009 (or whenever the 2x3 flag was first used). Digirami (talk) 04:54, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The 2x3 ratio flag has been in documented use since 1986 and the 1x2 ratio is a myth. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 07:34, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Two follow-up questions: Do you happen to have a source saying that the 1x2 flag is a myth? And, before 1986? I ask in the hope of continually getting the flagicon for Ecuador with the correct alternatives. Digirami (talk) 15:24, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When sources talked about the flag ratio being 1x2, they cited "Registro Oficial No. 1272" as the law that gave it 1x2. However, no proportions were set down in law and 1x2 was never written down. I am not sure why people gave it that proportions. As for anything before 1986 saying otherwise, nothing yet. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 17:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed my review. This is a pretty good article that is very close to passing the GA criteria, with only one issue (either lack of citation, or editorializing). I believe this issue can be easily fixed, so I am placing this article on hold for up to 7 days. Aaron north (talk) 06:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

[edit]

The following is a list of concerns that I believe need to be satisfied to pass review. If you disagree or believe I made an error, please point that out too. Aaron north (talk) 06:34, 1 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The source in the paragraph did not seem to confirm this sentence: ("They both symbolize the beauty and wealth of the respective regions (Sierra or Costa).") Without a source for the symbolism of the mountain and river, this appears to be an example of editorializing.

National Flags whose design incorporates a depiction of the flag itself

[edit]

The article states that there are only four countries whose flag design incorporates the flag itself (Ecuador,Haiti, DR, El Salvador). The flag of Bolivia also has the flag on it. I'm hesitant to change it to 5 though because I don't know if there are any more examples out there. Tgirl98 (talk) 04:43, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

  • There are uncited text throughout the article, including entire paragraphs.
  • There is a "more sources needed" orange banner in the article since 2020, which needs to be resolved.

Is anyone interested in improving this article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 03:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
