Flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia

 * ... that the Flag of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (pictured) means that Akrotiri and Dhekelia is the only British Territory without a unique flag?

 * The following is my QPQ review:-
 * The article is new, long and within policy. Inline citations cover most of the article. All external links are working.
 * The hook is appropriately concise, neutral and interesting.
 * All the images are free without any copyright restrictions.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article is ready for DYK. As this is my first QPQ review, other comments and reviews are welcome. --Clithering (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Date and length ok. But the hook sentence is a bit weird, a better ALT1 would be ... that Akrotiri and Dhekleia is the only British Overseas Territory without its own unique flag (Union Jack pictured)? --Soman (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Agree that the original hook's wording doesn't work. ALT1 is better, but "Akrotiri and Dhekleia" cannot be linked: DYK rules don't allow red links in hooks. I've struck them both; how about:
 * ALT2: ... that as the only British Overseas Territory without its own unique flag, Akrotiri and Dhekleia uses the Union Jack (pictured)? —BlueMoonset (talk) 07:01, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm fine with ALT2. --Soman (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
