Talk:Flag of Missouri

Untitled
Has anyone else noticed the strangely common occurance of Missouri flags being flown upside down? Close to 1/3 of the times I see it, even sometimes on government buildings, it's hoisted blue-white-red, with bears standing on their heads. Xyzzyva 18:10, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

I've reverted this article due to content that doesn't address the article topic, is plagiarism and copyright infringement. Here's what I wrote on the editor's talk page:

"Hi 98.170.210.55,

I noticed that you recently added a large chunk of text to the Flag of Missouri article about Marie Watkins Oliver. There's a couple of issues with the text. Since it discusses Oliver aside from her work with the flag, the information would be better in a separate biography article for Oliver, rather than lumped in with the Flag of Missouri article. The text also does not cite any sources (see Citing sources) and is copied entirely from a biography published by The State Historical Society of Missouri (http://shs.umsystem.edu/historicmissourians/name/o/oliver/index.html). Because of the lack of attribution, your inclusion of the text is considered Plagiarism as well as Copyright violations, both of which are against Wikipedia's guidelines. In the future, please avoid both plagiarism and copyright infringement.

I've reverted the Flag of Missouri article to its previous edit. I think a biography on Marie Watkins Oliver would be great, but please add it as a separate article, be sure to cite your sources and avoid copying text directly.
