A fact from Flag of Guernsey appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 October 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
It may take me a day or two to complete the review. If you disagree with any of my comments, don't hesitate to argue them - I'm willing to be persuaded. Once complete, I'll be using this review to score points in the 2018 wikicup. Argento Surfer (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
"Since 2000, a red ensign ... has been used as the government's ...blue ensign." - This may just be my ignorance of some flag jargon, but this doesn't sound right. Maybe "in place of" instead of "as"?
History
"confusion at the Commonwealth Games" - the 1982 games?
"The flag would then fly for a year before being replaced with a new one." - I think it should be more clear that the flag is left up for a year, then a new flag is raised to replace the remains of the old one. Changing tense would help some. Something like "The flag flies/flew continuously until the following year, when it is/was replaced with a fresh one."
"The flag later provided inspiration for the flag of Alderney" - I think removing "later" and inserting "1993" would add clarity.
"a green and white tricolour with the coat of arms of Guernsey in the centre was created" ...by whom?

If ref 16 can't be repaired/replaced (see below), the "doubtful" information about the 19th century flag will need to be removed.
Ref 6 is a permanent dead link. I browsed the host site, but was unable to find the original source. If an archived version can't be found, the material will need a replacement source.
Ref 16 doesn't work for me either. There isn't a website or publisher provided.
