[edit] Gallery
I have elsewhere proposed creating a Gallery of flags based on British ensigns which would relocate a large number of images from Gallery of flags by design. The proposed new gallery would show thumbnail images of all flags, national or otherwise, based on British ensigns. It would be subdivided into sections for the Blue, Red & White ensigns, the Sky Blue, and other variations. I welcome discussion on my proposal which would naturally be linked from this page.

- Hello Dystopos,
- Yes, I support your idea whole-heartedly. I feel that it is a marvelous idea. One thing that could be addressed is the fact that not only were there British Colonial Ensigns, but there were French Colonial Ensigns as well. For the former the Union Jack was in the Canton, but for the latter the French Tricolour was in the Canton. Both Colonial Empires used the same motifs.

- I have created the gallery as proposed and done some more-or-less ignorant categorizing. More knowledgeable vexillologists are invited to help organize and complete the list. Dystopos 05:17, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
- Hello Dystopos,
- Great job on the new British Ensign Flag gallery. It looks fantastic indeed. This is the only true way to determine patterns of flag parentage, i.e., just line them up, and see what jumps out of the page at yaa. You have done at great job, in my opinion.
- Thanks alot eh, I didn't know about this Portugal Proposal, I've just learned a new Flag Fact today. Thanks a million!

[edit] Trekkie
- I hesitate to even mention this, but it occurs to me that some use the term "red ensign" to refer to one of any number of minor fictional characters in Star Trek episodes who are prone to being killed while on missions away from their ship. They got the nickname because they usually hold the rank of ensign and usually wear red uniform jerseys. I won't be the one that adds a disambiguation, though. --Dystopos 04:36, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
