The Four Power Joint Military Commission (1973)
- "Source" field.
- The Four Power Joint Military Commission (1973). - For the critical transition from war to peace, the Accords empowered three commissions to oversee the implementation phase and resolve any differences. The Four-Power Joint Military Commission (JMC) represented each belligerent: the United States, South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the Viet Cong. At the conclusion of the 60-day cease-fire, this commission would in theory shed its protective outer garment (U.S. and North Vietnam) and become the Two-Power Joint Military Commission, an insular body representing the interests of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of South Vietnam (PRG, the Viet Cong). (CRWFlags.com).

- The flag is shown in Smith's Flags Through the Ages and Across the World (1975){smi75b} as red with a black "4" in the middle. A footnote in p. 300 (International flags) says: "The flags opposite have been presented in a single shape and size. The correct proportions however are provided below each flag." The flag of the the Four Power Joint Military Commission is labelled with 1:1 proportions, therefore square. - Ivan Sache, 7 January 2013. (CRWFlags.com).

Vietnamese military flags

- Unit colours - image by Randy Young, 8 July 2016. - I came across a couple photographs online that show Vietnamese Army unit colors being carried in a parade. The parade took place in Ho Chi Minh City in 2015 for the 40th anniversary of the fall of Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City) to end the Viet Nam War in 1975. The inscriptions are unit designations, printed in yellow beneath the central star. The flag carried at the left front of the group bears the designation "SƯ ĐOÀN VẬN TẢI Ô TÔ 471," which roughly translates as "471st Truck Transportation Division." Additional unit designations are harder to read due to the folds in the flags. (CRWFlags.com).
- Vietnamese military flag from the Spratly Islands. - image located by Esteban Rivera, 6 June 2011. - image by Randy Young, 8 July 2016. - It which seems to be a military unit based in Trường Sa (also known as the Spratly Islands), from the letters on the obverse of the flag which read "Dao Trường Sa" in yellow capital letters on the bottom right of the flag. (CRWFlags.com).

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2021-28
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! El Palo Alto (Spanish for 'the tall pole' or 'post') is a coastal redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) located in El Palo Alto Park on the banks of San Francisquito Creek in Palo Alto, California, United States. It is famous for its historical significance and as the namesake of the city of Palo Alto. As of July 2016, El Palo Alto is currently 110 feet (33.5 meters) in height, down from 162.2 feet (49.4 meters) in 1814. Its top progressively died from 1865 to 1955 from lowering of the water table so that its roots could no longer reach sustenance. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)

How do I fix flags?
@Great Brightstar: , I recently made a few flags with Inkscape but I can't seem to get the dimensions right, how do I get the dimensions I need? --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 14:11, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- There are various methods to get proper dimensions. First, he Select and Transform tool have a lock button on the toolbar, if you clicked, if you modified the height or width of an element, it would be always scaled in original ratio. Second, if you click an elements and drag its corner to resize, while you hold on Ctrl key, it would be always scaled in original ratio. Third, click Object -> Transform to open the Transform panel, there is a Scale tab to let you resize. That's all I know. You can also see https://inkscape.org/learn/ to know more about this. --Great Brightstar (talk) 16:18, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- @Great Brightstar: , Thanks for the information, after I've learned to do this I hope that I won't have to bother you to ask to "fix my mess again", I ran into this issue before when I attempted to merge the flags of (South) Rhodesia and South Africa at the Graphic Lab for a request. I will try to do this and see if I can fix that user's other request. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 16:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
