	Iraqi flag on Apolyton is incorrect. Increase the size of your Attachments

I just noticed, for the flag that people can put by their name, the Iraqi one is outdated. It still had the inscription on that Saddam added to it during the Great War. Since the fall of Saddam, it has been removed and Iraq has gone back to it's old flag.

I'm not sure... but for some reason, I don't think this would be a very high priority on Mark's or Dan's list of things do

Also... wasn't there another thread on this topic back a while?

I seem to remember this topic coming up previously. I think the requirement for it to change was a link from the cia world-book or similar showing the new flag.

But still, it isn't a priority.

I noticed the American flag on Apolyton is incorrect. When did we get more than 13 colonies?

The CIA factbook still shows the old flag. Guess that its not their priority right now eithier.

quote: three equal horizontal bands of red (top), white, and black with three green five-pointed stars in a horizontal line centered in the white band; the phrase ALLAHU AKBAR (God is Great) in green Arabic script - Allahu to the right of the middle star and Akbar to the left of the middle star - was added in January 1991 during the Persian Gulf crisis; similar to the flag of Syria which has two stars but no script and the flag of Yemen, which has a plain white band; also similar to the flag of Egypt which has a symbolic eagle centered in the white band

The fact book says that it was last updated 18 December 2003

the change that the IGC made, is to the flag that Iraq used prior to 1991. It was not made by the US. The 1991 flag WAS made by Saddam however.

However Im ok with the 1991 flag here, since Mark says thats the one on the source he uses. Whats confusing is that he says he uses the UN as the source for the flags, and I cant find member state flags on the UN site.

Yeah, I just looked again and I can't locate it. I wonder if it is some type of companion site??

I bet its either an unofficial site, or the CIA fact book, and someone's memory is playing tricks on them. Of course i could be wrong.

I agree. The new Iraqi flag should be the U.S. flag. Instead of 50 stars, though, it will have 51 stars.

no, as i have explained in the past, the flags we have are a package we used when we installed the vbulletin hack

but there's got to be some page on the UN site with all the flags of the world.

not that any of us can find. The UN site has lots of interesting info about the UN, but not info on member states. Guess they figure you can go to the member states sites and get that. In the absence of that the CIA factbook is accepted as a standard internet based reference. And of course they have NOT updated the Iraqi flag. Yet.

I spent a good hour going through a ton of info on the UN trying to find flags. The only thing that I can find is the flag court in front of the building.

I agree LOTM that the CIA factbook is pretty much the definitive source on this. In any event, the flag hasn't changed so Mark shouldn't be hasseled about changing it...yet
