... that most countries' flags belong to a flag family of national flags with similar designs? (pictured, flags in the Nordic cross family) Source: Alfred Znamierowski, [World Encyclopedia of Flags: The Definitive Guide to International Flags, Banners, Standards and Ensigns, with Over 1400 Illustration] pp. 100 "...flag use did not develop on a large scale until the 19th Century and continued during the 20th Century. Out of some 195 independent countries only 12 have flags whose designs were adopted before 1800. Seven of these (Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Russia, the United States, France and Turkey) have influenced the designs and colours of over 130 national flags and ensigns which are grouped into..."flag families"."

@NotAWittyFish and Dudhhr: there seem to be several statements about which flags inspired others that are unsourced... theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:22, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
@NotAWittyFish: if you could make sure there's a citation at the end of every paragraph that covers the currently-unsourced information, that'd be great :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:08, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
Just added about half a dozen more (and re-cited some existing ones in places where it wasn't cited.) Let me know if there's any I missed, thanks! Not A Witty Fish 02:17, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron and NotAWittyFish: I missed seeing the note about the remaining {{cn}} tags when I promoted this. If nobody objects, I'll leave it promoted and WP:AGF that the one remaining tag (first paragraph of Dutch and pan-Slavic colors) will get fixed before this hits a queue. -- RoySmith(talk) 18:51, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
