[edit] Ratio
The article says that the ratio of the flag is 1:2, but the ration of the image is 2:3. Which is true? --Romanm 08:27, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
The official ratio is 2:3. Juro
[edit] Revolution against who?
The article says that the Slovak flag was used first during the revolution against the Magyars in 1848. I don't think that the Slovaks were fighting against the Hungarians, cause the main power was in the hand of the Habsburg dinasty. The two nations united to reach their common goal namely put the Austrian rule away. This is a little error but should be corrected. Thanx!
The error, and a huge one, is on your side. The Slovaks organized campaigns to support Habsburg troops to defeat the Magyars in Buda/Pest and to get a Slovak crown land in return (which did not happen). A kind of independent Slovakia was even declared for a while. Juro 03:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Vertical flag
I am not sure that the vertical flag depicted in the article is incorrectly hoisted having the blue colour closest to the finial. Many countries have rules about vertical versions of their flags stating that the order of the colours should be reversed (and turned 90 degrees) in a vertical flag. --Thathánka Íyotake (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
