Orphaned references in List of flags of the Philippines[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of flags of the Philippines's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ra8491":

  • From Philippines: "Republic Act No. 8491". Republic of the Philippines. Archived from the original on 2007-12-05. Retrieved 2008-09-30. Link revisited on November 19, 2010.
  • From Flag of the Philippines: "Republic Act No. 8491". Government of the Philippines. February 12, 1998. (archived from the original on 2007-12-05).

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:26, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit exchanges over flags, and a flag seemingly missing from this article[edit]

Recently, I have noticed exchanges of article edits (I'll not call these edit wars here) regarding the choice of which flag to present in a number of articles. These exchanges have involved @RA9Markus:, @Vif12vf:, @Adori10: and, perhaps, other editors -- including myself. The edits I have noticed involved flags of the Philippines in several separate articles, so I'm trying to get a discussion started in a centralized location so that whatever disagreements are behind this can be resolved without causing ongoing disruptions to the articles. One example of such an edit can be seen here. That example followed after some related discussion that can be seen at Talk:Republic of Biak-na-Bato § Regarding to the flag. Some edits to other articles can be seen here and here. That's not comprehensive in articles, in flags, or probably in naming editors involved -- I have other things going on outside of WP that limit how much attention I can pay to this and I have not looked that far into it. One thing I think I did notice, though, is that some of it should involve consideration of WP:DUE.


Please thrash out whatever needs thrashing out in discussions here and not in exchanges of edits to articles.


Also, specifically re this article, I noticed that one of the flags involved in the above (this one) is not mentioned here. Perhaps it ought to be mentioned here. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 02:05, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I already shared the sources from the summary edits of my argument, according to Filipino Historian Xiao Chua himself, the flag that @Adori10 and @Vif12vf trying to insinuate is a flag that was made in 1906 for the supposed tagalog republic headed by Macario Sakay which is the aftermath of the time of Emilio Aguinaldo capture at Palanan, Isabela, the one that Im trying to share and insert is the Flag of the Tagalog people that was officially used to be the Flag of the Philippines in March 17, 1897, hence why in Philippine History is considered as "the First revision of the Philippine flag", Trying to insert the 1906 Tagalog Republic flag of Macario Sakay to a time period where it still doesnt exist yet is the same analogy of inserting the Nazi flag to the time period of the German Empire's Tri-Color standard which the Nazi flag still not existing.
Please look these sources that I shared in the summary (I assume @Vif12vf didnt have the time to even verify these sources as he even reverted my edits with my references):
https://www.oldest.org/culture/oldest-philippine-flags/

https://lltm.tripod.com/flags2.html
https://ncca.gov.ph/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/BALANGHAY-MAY-JUNE-2012.pdf
my sources is not limited to what is listed here, anyone can find other sources in the internet, it is very much widespread knowledge in the Philippines that the "Sun of Liberty Flag" or the "Flag of the Tagalog people" as called in wikipedia, is what is used at the time period of the Republic of Biak na Bato, Tejeros Government and the Central Executive Committee

Sources supporting content in a WP article need to be cited in the article itself as required by WP:V and as explained further in WP:CITE and elsewhere, not "shared" by mentioning them in an edit summary or on an article talk page. Also, significant viewpoints expressed by any source (e.g., by Xiao Chua) may differ from significant viewpoints expressed by other similarly weighty sourceS;. I don't know whether or not that is the case here, but WP policy for handling such a situation is explained here. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 00:53, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
