English please

"Some specialists suggest that there are chronicles and some references that support the idea of a banner attributable to the Inca. In 1534 during the invasion and occupation of the city of Qusqu today Cusco, the Spaniards found the first resistance of qhishwa-ayrnaras and saw between the multitude, objects similar to the flag of strips and pictures of seven colors of the rainbow. The existence and the use of this emblem probably has been from the same creation of Tiwanaku for more than 2000 years." Can someone please rewrite this so that it actually makes sense? --Khajidha (talk) 16:57, 6 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That claim is spurious, in the 1500's only two countries had (very limited) access to three of those colours in dye form, in fact, two cities, not countries, Paris and Milan. Outside of those two cities if you wanted a rainbow you were SOL. And I don't think they'd be trading guarded pigments and dyes with foreigners when they could apply them themselves and charge a mint for the end product, which is what they famously did. 121.210.33.50 (talk) 03:17, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessment

GA Reassessment

This discussion is transcluded from Talk:Rainbow flag/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the reassessment.

This article has been expanded with a lot of unsourced content since passing GA in 2007. Therefore, it fails GA criteria 2. sst ✈ 12:27, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Since there has been no progress after more than 7 days of the start of the reassessment, and I have already notified relevant WikiProjects, I am delisting this article. sst ✈ 08:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Missing original flag, circa 1500's

There's also a Roman Catholic flag, possibly the first use of the rainbow flag, that is common in RC communities and ritual yet is missing from the article. It was first used by a monk I forget the name of in the late 1500's. 121.210.33.50 (talk) 03:15, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Armenia flag

The colours in the graphic example are not the same as the actual design. They are too dark, and the bottom colour is completely different from the actual design.
