Flag of Armenia

I need feedback on how to make this article featured. I believe most of the work is done already, but reviewing wouldn't hurt. In this review, I just want to make sure that everything's done to meet FA requirements. Thank you, --Crzy cheetah 20:52, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would provide sources on where you get the RGB colors from on both of the national flag images at Flag_of_Armenia#Design. Other than that, I believe this article is ready for FAC. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 21:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response: The RGB colors were found here first, but then as Smjg mentioned, it contradicted with the colors of the flag we have here at Wikipedia; therefore he changed it.--Crzy cheetah 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, the flag is heavily mentioned in Mer Hayrenik, the national anthem of Armenia. I would also mention what flags were inspired by the Armenian flag, including the Flag of Nagorno-Karabakh. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 21:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response: And you would be right to do all that. I'll work on it.--Crzy cheetah 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It strikes me that a little explanation is required regarding the common and less common versions of the flags. Is there a rationale for using the one or the other? Is it geography? Is it happenstance? And is that rationale citable anywhere? I'm also interested in the fact that there are only two versions. Is there any history over this? If so I think it would enhance the article. Fiddle Faddle 21:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response: A lot of organizations use the "more common" version" including Armenian Government. At the same time, there are places where "less common" version is used, for instance, there is one flying on the building of Armenian Embassy in the US. I haven't found anything to cite all this, but I thought it should be mentioned in the article that there are two versions. There is no third version found, yet. --Crzy cheetah 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I like it so far but I believe that, yes, we should mention Mer Hayrenik and include the Karabakh flag as well as references where needed. I think we also need to go into further detail on the ancient flags of Armenia than we presently do. -- Clevelander 22:01, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The historical flags seem fine to me, but I would discuss more of the current flags of Armenia. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 22:25, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response:I also think that there is suffiecient info on historical flags in the article, but I can add a gallery of several ancient flags.--Crzy cheetah 23:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I looked through some of the current flags and most are not based off of the tricolor, except the two that we mentioned. I will drop that. I also added in the Mer Hayrenik statement myself (I have it playing in my headphones now, very pretty anthem). If historic flags are what you are wishing, I could fire up Inkscape tomorrow and see what kind of magic I can do. I would probably need some more time on the Armenian font when I do the Armenia SSR flags. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 10:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
