[edit] (Untitled)
The article reads:
"the surrounding border of yellow adorning the perimeter represents the spread and flourishing in all directions and times of the purified gold like teachings of the Buddha."
The picture must be wrong, because yellow border is not present in one of the sides. That would mean the "spread and flourishing" don't really happen in all directions. :)

I recall reading the gold border represents the spread of Buddha's teachings and was left open to represent Tibet's (Buddhism's ?) openness to other ideologies. Though, I don't recall the exact pamphlet in which I saw that description. --Jaybeeunix 22:56, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
The Tibet flag proportions are 3:4 and not 2:3. Reference FOTW [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.145.247.14 (talk) 07:52, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Status in PRC
"It is banned in the People's Republic of China, including the Tibet Autonomous Region and the other regions which formerly constituted the independent Tibetan state." -- Please fix if there's anything incorrect here. -- 201.51.215.113 18:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
The TAR corresponds to the area of control of the government at Lhasa before 1950. -- ran (talk) 04:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move request
It is not of neutral point of view to use the term "Tibet" to refer to either the the Government of Tibet in Exile" or the Government of the Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. I think a more neutral title would be "Flag of the Government of Tibet in Exile". -Alanmak 02:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- The flag was used by the Tibetan government before 1950. While used by the government-in-exile, the flag is clearly an icon of cultural Tibet (or Tibet as a geographical region). Meanwhile, please be reminded to log this request at Wikipedia:requested moves. Thanks. — Instantnood 04:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC) (modified 18:36, 20 February 2006 (UTC))
- The Government of Tibet in Exile page has been moved by Adam Carr to Central Tibetan Administration. Should we still have the same name for the proposed page move? --Khoikhoi 05:28, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm against the move as per Instantnood. —Nightstallion (?) 11:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
===>I ain't fer it I'm agin it. For the same reasons. This is the (one and only) flag of Tibet (not just the CTA). And, if we had this web site prior to 1950 (somehow), there would be no doubt about it. -Justin (koavf), talk 00:21, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Related to the move request is the template:TIB [2]. — Instantnood 17:29, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] is it just me, or does this flag look like the Japanese Imperial Army flag?
How ironic.
- personally i think it looks like two ligers high-fiving, POWERFULLY. - DaoKaioshin 19:48, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coat of arms
There should likewise be an article on the Coat of arms of Tibet. Chris 05:31, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Maybe. But the "coat of arms" originated with the "government in exile" and does not have the same status as the flag. Flag, but not coat of arms, existed prior to the association of Tibet with the People's Republic of China, and was designed by the Thirteenth Dalai Lama in 1913, before there was ever a PRC, let alone a government in exile.
