Your self promotion has been removed. I am considering adding in how this flag represents white supremacists in the region since they adopted it long before you did. Cptnono (talk) 07:46, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

Meanwhile, no flag in the article about the Doug flag. Because politics of the day? Morycm (talk) 08:00, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

The webpage http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/us%7Dcasc.html used to cite information regarding the original designer of the flag does not mention a last name, city of residence or occupation of the designer; it only identifies the him as Alexander. Further, the flag on that page does not match any of the example photos used on Doug Flag. Lastly, this page does not provide proof that this was the first use of the design.

Similarity to the Lebanon flag

Since the flag is almost identical to the Lebanese flag, with the difference of color and tree shape, does the Cascadian movement have any connection to Lebanese culture? If it doesn't or does, should it be pointed out? Tandrum (talk) 07:33, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

Tandrum It should be pointed out if someone identifies a published source which discusses this. Wikipedia only repeats what is already published and does not say new things. If you find a source then share. Blue Rasberry (talk) 12:07, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

How about Canadian Flag being similar to Polish and Monaco flags. It has the same colours, so it must be suspect! Morycm (talk) 07:55, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

It's okay to edit this comment to fix archive links. Another Believer if it's okay I'll just edit yours to include these? tedder (talk) 16:05, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

OK! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:10, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Appropriate categories?

Are the following categories appropriate?

• Category:Activism flags
• Category:Canada–United States relations
• Category:Secession in Canada
• Category:Secession in the United States

It can be difficult to differentiate Cascadia the bioregion from Cascadia the independence movement and Cascadia the cultural identity, but this article is specifically about the flag, and so far the sources incorporated into the article's prose don't really go into detail about the independence/secession movements. The article's prose says more about the cultural identity.

Also, should any of the following categories be added?

• Category:Symbols of Canada
  • Category:Flags of British Columbia?
• Category:Symbols of Oregon
• Category:Symbols of Washington (state)
• any other subcategories of Category:Canadian culture?

The flag may be unofficial, but it might be considered a symbol nonetheless. Thoughts? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:09, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Copyright claim

The Cascadia Doug Flag was created by Alexander Baretich in 1994. It has been in active use since then, and there is an active copyright and trademark on the Cascadia Flag that people should be aware of when uploading to Wikipedia, as it is not Fair Use, or creative commons.

Fair use rationale is given on the image: File:Doug_flag.svg. Here's the statement of copyright in 2019 and the statement in 2025. Seems pretty fair use to me. tedder (talk) 16:10, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Incorrect colours?

None of the listed colour codes (except for white) were the same as the colours on the flag pictured. I suspect many could tell just by looking, but if you check the hex values for the colours you can factually confirm the already very clear difference. I have been unable to find any source on the exact official colour codes, nor does one seem to be provided in the citations. As such, I have removed the table altogether, rather than replacing the values with the ones from the provided svg. HumbleSolipsist1 (talk) 21:29, 25 October 2025 (UTC)
