Talk:Flag of the United States Marine Corps/Archive 1

Re: Moving & Merge
I agree with SEWilco that Flag of United States Marine Corps should be merged with this already existing article. &mdash; Linnwood 21:05, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

Which flag image
There presently are two flag images, with different size ratios. Which is correct? Image:USMC flag.png or Image:Marine corps flag.gif. Also note List of U.S. military flags. (SEWilco 18:00, 21 August 2005 (UTC))
 * I've changed the page to show Image:Marine_corps_flag.gif as it is a better quality image of the flag. Also it is the flag imaged used on the page for the United States Marine Corps, so we will be consistent. &mdash; Linnwood 20:57, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
 * AFAIK, both flags are correct. The PNG appears to be an older version of the flag and the GIF is the newer version. I'm unsure when the change was made. - Thanks, Hoshie | 01:28, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Another source
A possible source is the Marines' flag manual. http://www.usmc.mil/directiv.nsf/0/aca390d7d0db6adb85256926005ff32b?OpenDocument&Highlight=0,Flag (SEWilco 04:18, 4 July 2007 (UTC))

WP:INFOBOXFLAG
Can someone please review this article to see if it looks better before or after the edit/reverts being made by 50.121.48.234 (talk)
 * And ask him/her to respect the discussion on this page prior to reverting and without making accusations of vandalism. 50.121.48.234 (talk) 21:58, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * "Better" is a subjective opinion. Since this article is about a flag, a Flag-related infobox is wholly called for. Blatantly removing content without an explanation is considered vandalism by Wikipedia protocols. Also, I don't see what "WP:INFOBOXFLAG" has anything to do with this article, considering there is not a single flagicon to be found on it.

 * ""Better" is a subjective opinion", precisley the reason I have asked for help, so that we have an independent opinion as to whether your edit improved the article.


 * As you are well aware WP:INFOBOXFLAG relates to all the other reverts you are performing which I have also asked advice regarding. 50.121.48.234 (talk) 22:08, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

This is not the place to discuss those edits. If you want to discuss those edits, go to those pages. No sense discussing nuclear physics on an article about Estonian cuisine. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 22:23, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Illegitimate Barrister, your conduct throughout this has been appalling. You have been nothing but rude and uncivil to this user from the very beginning. I think you enjoy issuing those warnings. Yet, here is a case where someone followed the rules, and you conveniently claimed to be part of a group which formed a consensus allowing you to ignore the rules. Just what is the point of having rules if people like you can disregard them at your convenience? 67.43.136.166 (talk) 23:06, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No administrative action is required here - this is a content dispute, and thus needs some form of dispute resolution. I would recommend that you request a third opinion as the first step. Please can I remind both parties that civility and the assumption of good faith are required here; both of you believe that you are improving the encyclopedia, so you need to work together and come to an agreement as to what course of action will best achieve that aim.
