Flag

The flag needs a source. Yue🌙 (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2026 (UTC)

Hi Yue, the flag is reliably sourced on its Commons page to this Encylopedia Iranica article. The AE article itself cites this journal, which seems to contain an image of the flag. Unfortunately, I have been unable to access a copy of the bulletin. I feel that the sourcing on the commons page is sufficient, but if you think otherwise the AE entry can probably just be added to the infobox. CitrusHemlock 02:35, 31 January 2026 (UTC)

Accepted! This seems very good and high quality, spot check of some sources (was a bit hard to get but all good and high quality from what I can see), fits all the criteria, good lede, good writing, good references, good manual of style, no ai stuff, good layout, good broad coverage. Well done, very cool article, very interesting Pencilceaser123 (talk) 02:20, 2 June 2026 (UTC)
