What about the National Colonial flag of Australia?

[edit] Aboriginal flag

The Australian Aboriginal flag is copyrighted and thus WP can only use it under the provisions of fair use. Fair use would not extend to this article, so the image should be removed. See Image talk:Australian aboriginal flag.png for a discussion about this. --pfctdayelise 12:59, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Civil Air Ensign

Isn't the Civil Air Ensign image lifted from FOTW? Becuase if it indeed is a FOTW image it needs {{FOTWpic}}, which is more specific and restrictive than the {{PD-flag}} (general flag tag) it has atm. FYI I've seen FOTW's listing at Wikipedia:Free or semi-free non-Public-Domain information resources. PS. I will make a PD Australian Civil Air Ensign if someone gives me the specifications.

I didn't realise there was a FOTW tag. However the image is still PD regardless of its source. Astrotrain 11:39, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The FOTW tag adds restrictions, namely that that particular rendition is copyright, regardless of the copyright status of the design. I will add the tag and proper attrbutions. Greentubing 23:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] City flags

Should more city flags be added? I know that Brisbane has one, and I'd be surprise if the other capitals and major cities didn't. I don't know a source other than FOTW for them in electronic format, though. Xt828 (talk) 22:57, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Autriservice.gif

The image Image:Autriservice.gif is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
  • That this article is linked to from the image description page.
