 * GA review (see here for criteria)

Unfortunately this article cannot be passed due to concerns outlined below.
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * Some copyediting will be necessary to go past GA to FA status
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * Refs needed See below.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * Seems to be a generally decent summary
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * Appears to be very neutral
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Image use under 'ethnic use' seems presentist; should show all flags used by ethnic groups, if indeed different ethnic groups use separate flags now that there is an official flag, or none
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * Pass/Fail:

Refs needed
 * Lead
 * declaration of independence + date
 * "..attracted almost a thousand entries"

 * Muhamer Ibrahimi
 * Flags used by ethnic groups in Kosovo
 * No references supporting ethnic makeup of Kosovo
 * Ref 6 does not support the statement made in the section at all
 * Flag use during the United Nations administration
 * no cite for "no provincial flag"
 * no cite for different flag usage of Albanians and Serbs
 * A post from Flags of the World is not a reliable source per WP:SPS
 * "There is no current or historic national, provincial or regional flag that represents Kosovo's territory." is directly contradicted later in the article
 * Competition for a new flag
 * "993 entries" and "700 proposals" need to be cited; ref 8 covers the first and should be cited there. However, ref 11 says 997 proposals.
 * "Unity Team" needs to be referenced
 * ref 10 does not support the statement attributed to it
 * The proposals and final choice
 * ref 10 does not support the statement attributed to it
 * A citation is required for "The flag of Kosovo is only the fourth flag to feature a map"
