Historical accuracy of the Ottoman flag (The five-pointed star didn't appear until the 1840s)
I made all my changes for historical accuracy. The five-pointed-star flag was used after 1844. Read the information in Flags of the Ottoman Empire: "The five pointed star did not appear until the 1840s." (Marshall, Tim (2017-07-04). A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols. Simon and Schuster. ISBN 978-1-5011-6833-8.) The star and crescent flag was never used in the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, and most of the 18th century. "...the flag was defined as red by decree in 1793 and an eight-pointed star was added." (Publishing, D. K. (2009-01-06). Complete Flags of the World. Penguin. ISBN 978-0-7566-5486-3. Marshall, Tim (2017-07-04). A Flag Worth Dying For: The Power and Politics of National Symbols. Simon and Schuster. ISBN 978-1-5011-6833-8.) Also about the Ottoman red flag: "According to Rıza Nur, sultan Selim I (1512-20) had a white personal flag, while the Ottoman Army flag was red (kızıl bayrak). During Süleyman I's reign (1520-66) the janissaries had a white flag while the timariot cavalry had a red flag. It was used as the Ottoman civic and merchant flag from 1793 to 1923."

The article uses an 8 pointed star flag, so any discussion of the five-pointed-star flag, the janissary flag etc is simply irrelevant to the topic at hand. As I mentioned on your talkpage before of the 8 pointed star flag uses those two cites. Your own quote: "...the flag was defined as red by decree in 1793 and an eight-pointed star was added." confirms my point. Are you even reading what you are typing out? Please go undo all your flag related edits, before I escalate the matter to ANI.--Catlemur (talk) 12:34, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
