Princes Flag
This article reads like it was written by a robotic translator. Someone with a knowledge of history and the English language should revise it.
It also has the wrong title. It should be Prince's Flag not Princes Flag. I don't know how to change titles, so someone else will have to make this easy edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.68.120.185 (talk) 23:03, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
- Done on the rewrite. In progress on the rename (see below). --W\|/haledad (Talk to me) 19:40, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Princes Flag → Prince's Flag – This is the correct name of the flag. A move is currently blocked by the fact that there is a redirect entry under "Prince's Flag". Please move article to "Prince's Flag", and make "Princes Flag" into a redirect. Whaledad (talk) 02:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
- Support per WP:COMMONNAME. A search of google books shows 748 hits for "Prince's Flag", compared with 43 for "Princes Flag". Jenks24 (talk) 16:59, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
Is that title prescriptive enough? I'm sure many princes have flags. Although we don't have an article on princely flags, so I guess for the moment it'd be fine. Rennell435 (talk) 07:37, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- Support clearly the common name. Marcus Qwertyus 02:21, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

PVV
A minor incident, without any relevance for this page. 101 Luftballons (talk) 23:33, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- The "incident" regarding the display of this flag by someone from the PVV hardly makes it relevant for the encyclopaedic article on the flag itself. Sadly, this has been turned into political back and forth-ing between supporters and opponents of the PVV. Outside of this there was hardly any mention of this. Other than that, there is not even solid evidence that there is a direct connection between right wing groups and the flag, making the use of the flag controversial. The simple fact that either the NSB in the past or some right wing extremist groups use the flag does not in and of itself make this flag controversial. Al, in all, there is no solid encyclopaedic basis for including this incident in this article. It may have relevance in the article on the politician hanging up the flag but that is about it as far as I can tell. People need to remember that this is an encyclopaedia, not a sensationalist news outlet or political action group.--Kalsermar (talk) 23:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
- Please note that on NL Wikipedia the 3rd page block in a row of the page has been ended early at the explicit request of one of the blockers of the addition as he had to admit that adding this information (in a clean way like I have done here) was supported by a majority. So, please stop your edit war here too. --W\|/haledad (Talk to me) 12:22, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
