Talk:List of Belgian flags

change to luxemburg flag

Removed this flag from the list and replaced it with This is the orange white blue flag of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg source : following email received from the greffe de la province de luxembourg

Bonjour, Le drapeau de la Province de Luxembourg est celui annexé (bandes horzontale azur et blanc avec le lion rouge couronné) . Celui du Grand-Duché est celui avec les trois bandes colorées rouge/blanc/bleu. Il y a effectivement une erreur sur Wikipédia au niveau du drapeau. Bien à vous.

Removed entries of minor importance

[1] There were a lot of entries in the list for subjects (parties, clubs, ...) which didn't even have an article on enwiki, making it hard to argue that their "flag" somehow was important enough to warrant inclusion. If there were sources establishing that these flags had some importance (e.g. being the inspiration for a better known flag or so), then perhaps an entry might be warranted anyway. But these were missing as well, making it hard to argue why these should be included in the list. Fram (talk) 11:14, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

For example, the "Honorary flag of Bishops serving the Belgian Armed Forces.", I can't even verify that this exists, never mind it being something notable. Fram (talk) 11:18, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

I agree. I am also not entirely sure that quite a few of the flags we still list are "Belgian flags" in stricto sensu rather than "flags of Belgian-related things". In the case of the political flags, there seems no particular logic to our selection beyond whichever graphics happen to have been uploaded onto Commons. Why does anyone care whether a miniscule political faction like Nation (political party) has a flag, for example? And is the Benelux one even real? I would suggest that we cut down the list to the bare essentials - (i) flags associated with the Belgian state and sub-national groupings to the level of provinces; (ii) significant historical flags whose existence can be attested in sources and which are specifically connected to the Belgian state (e.g. including the Belgian Congo but excluding most of the others such as the ones of the Duchies of Brabant and Flanders which seem speculations created from "real" coats of arms); and (iii) the royal standards. Does that sound reasonable? —Brigade Piron (talk) 22:19, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Mismatch of a source

Hello everyone,
The second source (the first to CRW Flags) isn't well matched with the information in the article ; the article on CRW Flags is talking about flags of Lotharingia, Brabant (but the red and white flag !), the Burgundian, Spanish and Austrian Low Countries, the Netherlands and the Kindom of Belgium, but on this WP article, the source on CRW Flags is matched with the flags of the Holy Roman Empire, the duchy of Brabant (flag with lion), the county of Flanders and the Habsburg Monarchy (before 1740). I am making a translation of this article on fr:WP on the article fr:Utilisateur:Antilegomenon/Brouillon/Liste de drapeaux belges, and I would like appropriate sources. Can somebody help me and clarify the situation, please ?
Thank you by advance !
