File talk:Flag of Libya (WFB 2013).gif

= Authenticity questionable =

This flag matches neither the proportions of the 1951 constitution nor those of 2011. Both specify that "the black stripe shall be equal in area to the two other stripes combined" according to the Flag of Libya article. I realize this depiction seems to stem from the CIA Factbook but should probably be used instead of this one to represent the 1951 flag as well. I think it's more likely that the source of this depiction got the proportions wrong than that Libya flew a flag for over a decade that didn't match the fairly specific proportions set out in its constitution and that it took the 2011 revolution to fix that. -- 89.1.114.233 (talk) 00:14, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
