Scope & title
editThis should probably be framed as a list of flags which incorporate the Union Jack/Flag, not a list of countries and territories. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:15, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- There are a number of government and military organizations, mostly in the UK, that use the Union Jack. Do you propose that we expand the scope of this list to include those? Ibadibam (talk) 01:00, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
- Well one can create an new article about it. I welcome more territories and provinces if there are some missing in the list. --Mannerheimo (talk) 09:19, 7 March 2017 (UTC)
Shouldn't British Raj be added to the list
editWell given the british direct rule under the crown on India before 1947, shouldn't it be added to the list also? (Sufyanxtreme (talk) 8:24, 17 January 2018 (UTC))
- I'm inclined to agree. Ibadibam (talk) 01:08, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
Nyasaland
editWhere is Nyasaland ? Degnito (talk) 02:12, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Expanding on the former section
editThere are a lot of territories under the empire which aren't represented on this list. Maybe it should be added.

Newfoundland
editI'm a little perplexed by the inclusion of Newfoundland on this page. The flag is designed to *resemble* the Union Flag, yes, but it doesn't *incorporate* it. I think it should be removed. Thoughts? Jamboy (talk) 15:23, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Last country to remove Union Jack from flag
editShouldn't this be Tuvalu instead of South Africa? They put it back on again later though 79.72.185.82 (talk) 16:40, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
Implication that Commonwealth realms are not independent.
editThe fact that Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Tuvalu are not listed under "Independent countries" (as Fiji is) seems to imply that these countries are not truly independent. Describing them separately from Fiji as Commonwealth countries is also inaccurate, as Fiji is a Commonwealth country, but not a Commonwealth realm.
I think a more accurate way to convey this information would be to list the all independent nations in one table, and then maybe a highlighting for those that are also Commonwealth realms (or the reverse).
Not only that, Cook Islands and Niue are part of the Realm of New Zealand, but are not territories of New Zealand, they are independent Realm Countries, ther is no dispute about this, but both countries are not fully recognized, internationally. It's not a matter of dispute just some countries are slow to catch up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.109.114.5 (talk) 10:25, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
