Wikipedia:Peer review/Flag of Belarus/archive1
Since I know that my last few FAC's failed due to grammar and possible POV problems, I was wondering if people would like to see if yall could help me fix these problems. Thanks. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 06:40, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- Not related to grammar or POV, but the claim of {{PD-BY-exempt}} for Image:Belarus flag finial.jpg is almost certainly incorrect. It's a crop of an otherwise-copyrighted photo, so it isn't covered by any of the situations listed in the template. The image doesn't add much to the article, so it should probably be removed. --Carnildo 07:27, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- I realized I have another copy of the finial in the article, which is closer to the bottom at "Similar flags." I will remove the photo. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 17:13, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
- I've given the article a copyedit, and it looks pretty good. I'd like to suggest that the table of colors of the flag be converted into prose—take one or two of the color schemes and incorporate them into the last paragraph of that section. There are also two long quotes in the body of the article, and those perhaps should be paraphrased. The first (the one that describes the flag) should be incorporated into the first section, since that's where the primary flag description is. I'll let you know if I see more... --Spangineer (háblame) 17:24, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
- I am keeping the table, since I am comparing four source and two color schemes. Even if two groups use the same color scheme, such as Pantone, different numbers have been found. So, as a vexillologist, I have to introduce the debate (without adding my own results, since it is OR). Plus, as for the long quotes, I wanted to copy the quotes verbatum, since they are laws. Plus, I am going to move my construction sheet drawing back to the middle of the paragraph, since I am doing the same thing as Flag of Hong Kong did with their sheet.

- Eh, ok. --Spangineer (háblame) 04:26, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

- I've gone through the article and given the text a polish. I've also added the Belarussian text from the military flag. (Silverhelm 20:48, 19 August 2005 (UTC))
