Hello, I will be reviewing this article over the coming days. Good luck. Steelkamp (talk) 13:25, 13 July 2022 (UTC)


 * @Steelkamp I have addressed these points - could you take another look? PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Well written

 * in various forms since the 13th century – It is unclear to me whether this means various forms of the city or various forms of the flag. Could change this to The flag, in various forms, has represented the Polish city of Gdańsk since the 13th century Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 17:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * ...rectangular flag, which was longer than it was wide (in a vertical orientation)... – Could just change this to ...rectangular flag in a vertical orientation – That would avoid the confusion of which direction is the long direction and also would be more concise.

 * It wasn't immediately clear to me that Danzig and Gdańsk are actually the same city. I was confused as to why the article was going into detail on the trade and customs flag. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I added a clarification to the lead, is this sufficient? PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 17:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Verifiable with no original research

 * What is "Wydział Symbolologii". Is it some kind of university/learning institution or a self published source or something else? If its a self-published source, then it might be a problem. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Upon some research, it is one of many divisions of Akademia Rzygaczy, which is described on the linked page as follows: The purpose of its existence was to publish the effects of amateur research on the history of Gdańsk, with an emphasis on a detailed history relating to places, objects and people that were not previously of interest to the authors of popular science publications. It is described as having multiple contributors apart from the creator of the site. All of the facts present on this site that also appear on other sources I used check out.

 * Same is true with The Flag and State Encyclopedia. I am concerned that this is a self-published source. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I have replaced this source. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:21, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I've done some spot checks on the sources. That turned out fine. The above points have been sufficiently addressed. Steelkamp (talk) 07:23, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

Broad in its coverage

 * Could this be used as a source for more information? Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * That source is a translation of the Polish-language source which is currently Ref 4 in the article. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:10, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Neutral

 * Yep. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Stable

 * Yes. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Illustrated, if possible

 * Images could do with alt text. Steelkamp (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Alt text added to infobox image and coat of arms image. PCN02WPS  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 20:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

General
