:::Try and be reasonable. You claimed for example, that the colours are wrong because the medal was gold. Have you ever seen a gold medal coloured blue??? No, I don't think so. However, it would make sense to do a monogram in national colours, as they would probably be used on a stationary. That's why the Greek ones are blue, the national colour of Greece. If you can show that they shouldn'tbe blue, I'd be happy to change it for you. For example, Danish monograms are light blue according to the Royal website, even though Red and White are the Danish colours. So you could be right, but unless you try and find out, you can't just claim you're right. I don't want to report you, but I will if I must.

Thai Royal Flags
Hello, someone asked me to finished them a longtime ago but because of the complexity and the large number of them I decided to only do three more: the Crown Prince's, Princess Sirindhorn's and Princess Chulabhorn's. They are still in my todo list. Sodacan (talk) 12:11, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
U.S. Governor Flags
First off, great work on the governor flags! I don't think that they belong at the top of the article - given it is about the state flag. However, they definitely deserve their own section or page. Sorry about putting them in the See Also section. I meant for this to be a temporary solution until I could do some research on the symbolism. I created a new section for each governor flag in each of the articles. The descriptions need a little work. ...okay, alot of work... :) Cheers! -DevinCook (talk) 11:27, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
A challenge
Fry - If you're feeling up to it, you could perhaps provide Wikipedia with a free version of the Royal Canadian Air Cadets flag and the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets flag. The Royal Canadian Army Cadets don't have any flag image uploaded at all. I simply have neither the time nor the skills to do it myself. Cheers. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 05:59, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Unfortunately, the badges are beyond my abilities. I'm still pretty basic with Inkscape. I do agree though that we should have these flags added, and have some mates on the Commons who I can request of. Fry1989 (talk) 19:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
- I see; well, you're still better qualified than I.
- BTW: I left a note about the layout of List of Canadian flags at the article's talk page. --Ħ MIESIANIACAL 20:21, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks
Very Excellent! I love flags myself, I collect them in real life.... My state flag is rare OHIO... I believe its the only one like it in the world... though I could be mistaken... Keep up the Work --HRH.zadock (talk) 05:40, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
Darkness2005
Hello. I noticed you've been undoing the systematic contributions of Darkness2005 to UK tv article logos. Do you know if there is a rationale for what he has been attempting to do? I've contacted the last admin who blocked him to have a look at his talk page in case there is a way to arrest the damage, and I wondered if there is perhaps a justification for his actions. He doesn't seem to answer messages that are left for him. Alistair Stevenson (talk) 01:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Afraid I've not a clue what method is to his madness. Some of the logos after his changes are minute, with others come out as oversized. That's why we have the display size settings. I'll undo anymore of his changes regarding logo size, but as to stopping him doing it, I think all we can do is alert admins. Fry1989 (talk) 01:33, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks, I wondered if I was missing something. I've left a message for Sandstein. Darkness2005's contributions show removing size settings from logos is an obsession, but his talkpage kind of suggests it's not the only kind of disruption he's keen on.Alistair Stevenson (talk) 01:40, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Flag of Louisiana
The Flag of Louisiana has a new official design. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2010/11/state_officials_unfurl_newly-d.html I also received word from the Secretary of State's office that this is the NEW official design of the flag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.131.80.119 (talk) 03:06, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
Arms of Belgium
Hi, I am from Belgium myself. This newer version has a correct collar (order of Leopold), the one you reverted back to is incorrect. The greater coat of arms also need to be corrected. Adelbrecht (talk) 10:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
- If there really is something wrong with the new arms of the Netherlands, just say so. The old arms you so desperately want to keep is a very bad svg file. Retraced with smudged details. Adelbrecht (talk) 19:18, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
coat of arms: discussion location...
I started discussion here. It seems that changes of the coat oaf arms of the Netherlands on lots of pages (on >10 pages) are not discussed and presently not supported by consensus, as they have been reverted and were barely discussed (only in edit summaries). I suggest to discuss at the location suggested above... L.tak (talk) 02:56, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
Oman Flag
I don't know if it’s my screen resolution or what, but some of you flags including the Oman flag appear very long and flat. That was the only reason I change the flag, to a more retangle shape. Also are you using Inkscape? If so how do you change the margins on the page? ThanksJetijonez (talk) 17:40, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Jetijonez, it's ok, it's not your screen. Oman's flag used to be shorter, but in 1995, they made it longer, as you can see in this article, so many aircraft still have the shorter flag painted on them. But as you can see on the tail of this helicopter, they are slowly starting to paint on the new longer flag. Fry1989 (talk) 17:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
George I
You are edit-warring again. It is the previous revision before the contested edit that has consensus. You should not be introducing disputed material until it is agreed that it may be added. DrKiernan (talk) 20:31, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- There is no contest here. That infobox was there way before I ever made an edit onthat page. If you go through the history, it had the lesser Royal Arms of Greece in it, and I simply replaced those with the monogram, as the Greater Royal Arms is already shown in the Royal Family infobox. That way, there's no duplication of images. You're only using this as an excuse to further your silly little personal war against monograms. Fry1989 (talk) 20:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm trying to prevent the addition of fictional material. Many of these monograms were never in official use, and are merely decorative artwork created by the uploader. Images should impart information to the reader rather than be placed for purely decorative reasons. DrKiernan (talk) 08:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Prove it! The user is now sourcing his monograms, you need to prove they're fake! Fry1989 (talk) 21:18, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- No, I don't. As I intimated before, unsourced material may be removed at any time and it is the obligation for the editor adding material to provide a reliable source. DrKiernan (talk) 21:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- YOU wanted a source, YOU GOT ONE, Get over it!
- Then you can no longer claim the monogram is unsourced. Either it is, or the source YOU GAVE is right. Pick one or the other, it can't be both. Fry1989 (talk) 23:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

- Also note, regarding Constantine I of Greece and Alexander of Greece, where you removed the monograms and claimed they weren't in the source on the file, I have reverted that and directed you to the correct page of the source where they are shown. THe user accidentialy doubled the URL in his source link, which I have corrected, so you can now see it, in PDF format. Fry1989 (talk) 21:31, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- The source is quite clearly in gold not blue, and Glasshouse has refused to alter the colors even though he has admitted that they are not accurate. I do not have the capability to alter svg files, and so cannot correct them myself. If they are not corrected, then I will continue to remove them. You would not alter the color of a flag or a coat of arms, and I remain unconvinced that royal cyphers should be treated any differently. DrKiernan (talk) 21:51, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

You clearly have no understanding of what monograms are. They're extremely versatile,. from being used in medals as shown in the PDF, to as headers on stationary. You're holding on to childish arguments that will get you nowhere. You wanted a source, you got one, now you're crying about colours. Grow up and get a life. If the colours were REALLY such a problem(you've still yet to prove why the colours are wrong), then you could ASK somebody, such as myself, or another in the graphic lab to change them to a colour that suits you(I would have been happy to do it, if only you were polite about it). However, since you're unwilling to even do that, you have no right to remove things because of the colours that you so believe are mistaken. Fry1989 (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not the one behaving impolitely. DrKiernan (talk) 22:55, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- By removing monograms over arguements that have no standing, such as colours(when a monogram can be any colour, depending on use), or by trying to hide your removal under the pretense of removing something else, you ARE. If you do not stop, I will be forced to report you to the Community. Fry1989 (talk) 22:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
- Try and be reasonable. You claimed for example, that the colours are wrong because the medal was gold. Have you ever seen a gold medal coloured blue??? No, I don't think so. However, it would make sense to do a monogram in national colours, as they would probably be used on a stationary. That's why the Greek ones are blue, the national colour of Greece. If you can show that they shouldn'tbe blue, I'd be happy to change it for you. For example, Danish monograms are light blue according to the Royal website, even though Red and White are the Danish colours. So you could be right, but unless you try and find out, you can't just claim you're right. I don't want to report you, but I will if I must. Fry1989 (talk) 23:01, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
