Guiding Principles of Flag Design
If you click through to WP:QUOTEFARM you can see that Wikipedia encourages paraphrasing rather than using excessively long quotes. I'd say the best thing to do would be to summarise the Principles in however much detail you feel is appropriate, and only using direct quotes when it's worth making a point in the voice of the Joint Commission. (The version I put up was just a basic alternative to blanking the whole section, I don't intend it to be a best-possible final draft, or anything.) --McGeddon (talk) 17:57, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
