We need the large version of the revese and overse of this unique flag. - fonzy

Only few national flags (such as the flag of Paraguay) have a differing obverse and reverse. The entry for the flag of Paraguay now states the reverse and obverse sides are the same. A different example (if one exists) should be cited or this should be removed entirely, I believe. CoachMcGuirk 17:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the flag of Paraguay page was incorrect (and has been updated) -- Paraguay's still the only two-sided (apart from mirror-image corrections) national flag, and valid to cite from here. ScottMainwaring 07:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The two images on this page use different shades of blue. Is this an error, or do the two sides really use different shades? Nik42 07:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was an error, and has now been fixed (thanks, Zscout370). --ScottMainwaring 21:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All USA/State seals, emblems, crests, and flags that contain an sitting eagle, always have the eagle holding an olive branch in one set of talons and arrows in the other set of talons. The head of this eagle is always turned towards the olive branch to indicate that we first look to peace prior to looking to war. Why is the State Seal of Oregon looking towards the arrows?

Interesting question. You might want to pose it at the talk page for Seal of Oregon as well. --ScottMainwaring 21:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
