Mass reverts on flags

Latest comment: 10 months ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Hi Juanqianguo, you have mass-reverted a large number of flags without giving any rationale. I've opened a discussion at COM:AN#Mass reverts on flags. --AFBorchert (talk) 07:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Before I explain why I reverted the flags, I have to say that I wasn't sure what to say while reverting before I revert files at 05:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC).

Here are some of reasons of reverting the flags:

1. Correcting the colors and designs.:

A miss is always be as good as mile, so all I want to do is to make the flags more identical to the version according to the official sources, but I don't have the purpose of vandalise them at all. Some of the versions of the flags before my revision is the old or unofficial designs of them like Afghanistan, Belize, Cyprus, Eswatini and so on, and the other flags I reverted was for correcting colors like Belgium, Colombia. Here are the proofs: (The countries which are mentioned are in alphabetical order)

Afghanistan (Design): (Last version before my revision, unofficial) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/c/cd/20231030033854%21Flag_of_Afghanistan_%282013%E2%80%932021%29.svg, (Real file image that is exist and same to the last version before my revision) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Flag_of_Afghanistan_%282004%E2%80%932021%2C_variant%29.svg, (Correct image) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Flag_of_Afghanistan_%282013%E2%80%932021%29.svg

Belgium (Colors): (Last version before my revert) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/6/65/20231030040512%21Flag_of_Belgium.svg, (Correct image) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/Flag_of_Belgium.svg

Belize (Design): (Last version before my revision, used between 1981 and 2019) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/e/e7/20231030033307%21Flag_of_Belize.svg, (Real file image that is exist and same to the last version before my revision)https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/Flag_of_Belize_%281981%E2%80%932019%29.svg, (Correct image) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/Flag_of_Belize.svg

Colombia (Colors): (Last version before my revert) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/2/21/20231030041238%21Flag_of_Colombia.svg, (Correct image) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/21/Flag_of_Colombia.svg

Cyprus (Design): (Last version before my revision, used between 1960 and 2006) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/d/d4/20231030034251%21Flag_of_Cyprus.svg, (Real file image that is exist and same to the last version before my revision) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/Flag_of_Cyprus_%281960%E2%80%932006%29.svg, (Correct image) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Cyprus#/media/File:Flag_of_Cyprus.svg

Eswatini (Design): (Last version before my revision, used between 1968 and 2011, while the former name of Eswatini was Swaziland) https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/f/fb/20231030034126%21Flag_of_Eswatini.svg, (Real file image that is exist and same to the last version before my revision) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Eswatini#/media/File:Flag_of_Swaziland_(1968%E2%80%932011).svg, (Correct image) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Eswatini#/media/File:Flag_of_Eswatini.svg

2. Revert to the versions that is near to some image resources.

— Preceding unsigned comment added by 9BBWMJ (talk • contribs) 06:26, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some of the version of flags designs like Norfolk Island before my revision was totally different from the image resources. Here's the proof:

The tree in the middle of the image of the last revision before my revert (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/4/48/20230829234249%21Flag_of_Norfolk_Island.svg), is not only change the Norfolk Island pine in the middle of the correct image (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/48/Flag_of_Norfolk_Island.svg), which is identical to this picture. YIIBUGRADIO (talk) 06:25, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I really don't want the old revisions make mistakes on the flags, so that was the reason why I revert the flags back. YIIBUGRADIO (talk) 06:36, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Mass reverting on flags without any rationale isn't bearable, so I promise that I'll never do that again. YIIBUGRADIO (talk) 08:37, 21 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
