Feel free to discuss any recommendation I made below.

- D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
- Is it broad in its coverage?
- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Could the artists' names be added to the "New flag for a new country" section? Particularly the one who explained blackbirding and the New Zealander who created the winning design.
- A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
- Unfortunately, I was unable to find any other sources (both free and paywall) mentioning the artists who created the winning designs. The info on that is derived solely from that one Solomon Times ref (I know that's not so ideal to have only one source). My conjecture is that the artist(s) wanted to remain anonymous, especially since the Solomon Islands is a "small town" society of 642,000 people. —Bloom6132 (talk) 08:15, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
