Talk:Flag of Great Britain

Ratio
What is the ratio of this flag? 1:2 or 3:5? Currently this article states the first, however the flag currently displayed is the latter. --Rob (talk) 16:17, 25 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Proportion

The article says "Its correct proportions are 1:2." The first flag shown is actually 5:3 and the others shown aren't 1:2 either. Bubba73 You talkin' to me? 17:48, 24 June 2015 (UTC)


 * A 1:2 aspect ratio wasn't standardized at sea until the 19th century (for the UK flag, not GB), and arguably still hasn't been fully standardized for land flags today. See the comments at File:Flag of the United Empire Loyalists.svg... AnonMoos (talk) 02:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)

"Flag of the Great Britain"
Dear fellow editors, I am leaving this note out of courtesy to other editors interested in the present article. In the infobox, the caption under each of the three flags was written as "Variant flag of the Great Britain". After checking the template, I realized that it was caused by the value "the" coded in the 'Article =' clause, and removed it. It might have been a holdover from another infobox designed for 'flag of the United Kingdom', where "the" would obviously have been required. With kind regards; Patrick. ツ Pdebee.(talk)(guestbook) 14:09, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
