[edit]According to the Spanish article the first flag was the one consisting of horizontal stripes, and the nested rectangles flag was the second. In this article the situation is opposite. Who's wrong? Hellerick (talk) 13:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Hellerick. The inconsistency was corrected by Shadowfox in the Spanish article on March 23. The article now describes the nestled-rectangles flag as the first and the horizontal tricolor as the second. Nevertheless, I double-checked and from the Flags of the World Colombia page I was able to trace their sources. Their links are dead now, but I found the new URLs and put them as references in the English-language article. It's interesting note that the first of these flags is shared by two entities, first the independent state of Cartagena and then provisionally by the United Provinces, which Cartagena joined and supported, but I'm assuming that Cartagena also continued to use it. I'm not sure what sources the Colombian Presidency site is using to get their dates, since they are slightly different from the Spanish-language article and from the ones recorded in the Flags of the World page.
