  • Personally, I think the hook is better with the flag because Herm is not somewhere that most people would be aware of, particularly those outside the British Isles. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 09:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
  • I suggested the shorter title to arouse interest as to what this Herm is. If you put a flag, people still won't know what it is. Yoninah (talk) 22:16, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
