This informative diagram by Jacobolus illustrates beautifully how to fold the US flag. - Josh Lee 03:25, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

 * Support. The animation is much more effective at conveying the information than the accompanying prose description. - Burn the asylum 11:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC).
 * Comment: Any chance we can get this in 3D? This is quite boring, sorry. Mgm|(talk) 12:38, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose -- I like the animation, but it doesn't show which way the flag gets folded (ie: over under, etc). In all honesty it looks like someone's taking siccors to the flag and cutting along the dotted lines, although I'm quite sure that is not what Jacobolus was aiming for.

 * Comment: It goes a bit too fast for me and I'm not sure I quite understand it. There seems to be a large step near the end. What does that indicate? I think a clearer, slower and maybe 3D version of this would have great FP potential. - Haukurth 01:02, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.png|15px]] Oppose I think this would only be of interest to Americans.--Fir0002 09:42, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
 * You are wrong - I'm Polish - but I've got only some idea. Basia from Poland.

 * Oppose - I still have no idea how to fold the flag no matter how often I watch it! - Adrian Pingstone 18:52, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Phoenix2 21:55, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose because it's not an effective demostration, while noting that Fir0002's objection is quite irrelevant. &mdash; Dan | Talk 00:21, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. The animation doesn't really show "folding" in progress, and it's missing about a dozen steps between frames 10 and 11. --Carnildo 03:14, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose. As much as I like the idea (and I thank the creator, because I'd always wondered how you get to the triangle), it doesn't consistently show if the flag is being folded over or under. Put arrows on it and you'll have my vote. Deltabeignet 03:53, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * it's obviously being foldeed under or the pattern being folded onto would change. This link is Broken 01:11, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ; when it's been folded horizontally twice and is being folded in triangles, the stripes would remain the same whether it was being folded forwards or backwards. I tried it out in MS Paint. Deltabeignet 18:35, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
