Talk:Flag of Indiana

Assessment
I am assessing this article to B quality. Although it is not very long, the information in it well referenced and it is well wrote and I don't see how much more information could be added. Charles Edward 02:22, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

Mooresville picture
I was driving South on Hwy 67 a few weeks ago and passed the "Welcome to Mooresville" sign, which sported an Indiana flag and said (something like) "Home of the Indiana State Flag". Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera on me, but it would be a good addition to this article if anyone travels that direction. Mingusboodle (talk) 03:52, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Flag of the State of Indiana
Indiana state statute defines this flag as the "Flag of the State of Indiana". --Buaidh (talk) 15:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * We should probably move the article then to the correct name. Charles Edward (Talk) 16:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I diagree. What statue? Indiana Code: IC 1-2-2-1 nowhere says "Flag of the State of Indiana". The header says "Indiana State Flag," which is a general term; the text only has "state flag." Also, this article should be consistent with every other flag article. I believe the same for the state seal, even though it has that text on it. It is otherwise referred to as the Indiana State Seal. Reywas92 Talk  21:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Self-link
Hello, isn't the self-link to Paul Hadley in the first line of the article a problem ? --Maurilbert (talk) 01:09, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

History
The flag currently used dates back to 1916, the centennial of the state's founding. This begs the question what, if any, flag was in use before then? Inquiring minds want to know...Jmdeur (talk) 21:13, 14 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Something I myself have wondered. I have tried to see if there was a common battle flag used during the Civil War, or other wars, for Indiana units, but I have not been able to come up with anything. &mdash;Charles Edward (Talk 22:28, 16 January 2010 (UTC)


 * I have no idea how official or widespread it was, but this older flag appears in a 1903 book I found while working on a different article. Brian the Editor (talk) 16:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Brian the Editor, thank-you for that link. I've been trying to find the answer to this question for a long time.  The flag you linked to is basically just the Indiana State Seal on a flag.  The index of this legislative manual names the illustration as the state flag.  This would make a great addition to the article if we could get a little more info, and maybe a clearer picture.

 * OK, I added it. I think it definitely belongs, but perhaps one of you could rearrange the article so it looks more presentable, or maybe add some text about the previous flag. Canute (talk) 14:22, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

Paul Hadley
I am interested in creating a separate Wikipedia page for Paul Hadley, but his name links to this Wikipedia page. Does anybody know how to unlink his name from this article? HoosierMan1816 (talk) 02:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
