Article protection[edit]
With recent acts of vandalism on the article, I suggest that we could apply a page protection like Pending changes protection or Semi-protection, like the Flag of the United States article to protect the page from spam. ChaseYUL99 (talk) 18:34, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Union Jack[edit]
If the Union Jack is considered an "official Canadian flag" as it says in the article, why isn't the Union Jack below the Canadian flag on the top of the article. 2600:6C63:417F:23FB:F1C0:56A2:F263:B442 (talk) 11:58, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
- Because the Maple Leaf flag is the official national flag, whereas the Union Jack is only officially recognized as a "ceremonial" flag. There is a difference in purpose and their placement in the article corresponds as such. Leventio (talk) 16:52, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
Removing unreferenced paragraph[edit]
In this edit, a unreferenced paragraph was added on a commericial establishment that has a flag collection. I checked the (3) other edits by that IP. In another article, Canadian flag collection, there are a couple of references, but they're to the Arts and Leisure section of a local newspaper. This typically wouldn't meet WP:FAC's requirements for sourcing, so I'm going to remove the paragraph. It won't bother me if anyone re-adds it ... if you have proper sourcing. - Dank (push to talk) 22:10, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
