Nomination for GA
[edit]I intend to nominate this article for Good Article status. However, given that it is subject to frequent updates due to ongoing conflict, I believe it would be crucial to seek consensus first. 🐝 B33net 🐝 00:25, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- @B33net As in fixing up this article till it meets GA status? If so go ahead. If not, your nom would probably be closed as a drive-by nom as you don't meet the requirements (see WP:GAN/I#N1 and here are the authorship stats) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 07:57, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- I nominated it, but I realized that you might be right so I reverted it. 🐝 B33net 🐝 2:35, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
"Independence flag"
[edit]Are there any sources calling the current flag the "Independence flag"? Afaik Syrians call this the Revolution flag (Arabic: علم الثورة) and not the Independence flag [1]. If there are no sources on this, then that name should be removed.

- I don't think so, but the independence flag is very similar to the revolution flag. (only differences are different flag ratios and star positions) 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 19:59, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Yeah but then those are two different flags. Does anyone object to renaming it the "Revolution flag"? 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 20:15, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't object to the renaming, per the sources. 🗽Freedoxm🗽(talk • contribs) 20:17, 29 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support same.

Flag in the UN
[edit]The flag flown on the UN seems to have a more saturated version of red, and the spacing between the stars looks different than what we have here [2] 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:27, 25 April 2025 (UTC)
