Talk:Flag of Dallas

That's the wrong flag
Based on the well-documented Dallas Morning News article about the Dallas flag, the historic 1916 flag is blue, not red and blue. The accompanying photographs back up this contention (and the author calling out Wikipedia on its mistake). - Dravecky (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Section Historical flags
"The flag in use between 1916 and 1967 [...] is a non-rectangular flag (similar to the flag of Ohio) with similar colors to the current flag. The top of the flag is red and the bottom is blue." This image 50px shows a non-rectangular flag with red top and blue bottom. This image matches description.

User Gamaliel removed picture, but remain the text unchanged. Also, he did not answered my question if the description is true or false. --WTM (talk) 19:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Did you only selectively read the source linked in multiple edit summaries and in the section about that I linked on your talk page? Again, from the Dallas Morning News: "... it’s not the pennant seen on the Flags of Dallas Wikipedia page. Similar, but not the same." Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:05, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * user:The ed17, user:Gamaliel. Please answer my question. We can read "The flag in use between 1916 and 1967 [...] is a non-rectangular flag (similar to the flag of Ohio) with similar colors to the current flag. The top of the flag is red and the bottom is blue." Is this true or false? --WTM (talk) 20:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * How is that question relevant? Are you understanding the concerns being presented to you here? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 20:12, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Agreed. An RS has identified this image as inaccurate.  Do we have reason to dispute this RS?   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 20:33, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * But WHY does it have identified this image as inaccurate? I understood (from the linked source) that 1916 flag has blue background, white map of Texas and a red star marked Dallas. Did I understand it right ? And Wikipedia talks about red-and-blue background. In my opinion Dallas Morning News points at diffirent background. --WTM (talk) 20:37, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It's pretty clear that the (unreliable) reference used is wrong, given that it's also the source for the problematic image here. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 00:32, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
