I'll take a look at this. Harrias ^talk 12:21, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• As this article is marked as using BrEng, all the dates should be converted to DMY, rather than MDY.
• Ref #4 only needs the year rather than a date, and also could do with the ISBN adding.
• Ref #7 could do with the ISSN adding, and ideally the title of the article.

Prose review to follow. Harrias ^talk 12:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

All addressed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Unless there is a policy that I am not aware of that covers them, the flags need license tags to cover their original design, not just the SVG recreations used on Wikipedia. Harrias ^talk 13:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

My apologies – I'm actually not very familiar with licensing tags (only uploaded 4 original files to the Commons). Which license tag(s) would be the most appropriate to use for the flags? —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:19, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Honestly, this is something of a grey area for me too. My understanding is that the current licenses seem to cover the recent SVG creations, but they are merely copies of older designs that need licenses to show why they can be used. @Nikkimaria and Buidhe: I wonder if either of you might be so kind as to provide some guidance here? Harrias ^talk 15:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

It's an academic question because the original flag design and the coat of arms are well expired (crown copyright), if they were ever protected to begin with. (Other elements of the flags do not meet threshold of originality.) (t · c) buidhe 19:49, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Yep, we can just throw on a PD tag due to copyright expiration for the original design. Nikkimaria (talk) 20:30, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Excellent. PD tags added to both the colonial Blue Ensign flags. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:07, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Prose

• As this article is marked as using BrEng, all the dates should be converted to DMY, rather than MDY.

• Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:15, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• Similarly, utilize, epitomize, symbolize, organization should all use an "s" rather than a "z".

• Changed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:15, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

• I can't see any discussion in the History section about the 1907 change?

• Done. —Bloom6132 (talk) 09:53, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

• I can't see any discussion in the History section of the briefly used 1985 flag that just removed the white bands? The removal of the white bands is mentioned in relation to the "Gems" design, but on the basis of the Historical flags table, they had already gone?

• Fixed. —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

• The Historical flags section source does not distinguish between the 1877–1907 and 1907–1979 flags; another source will be needed for this.

• Added source. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:29, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

That's it from me. I'll put this on hold. Harrias ^talk 13:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

@Harrias: thanks very much for the review! I hope I've addressed your comments satisfactorily. —Bloom6132 (talk) 18:47, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

All looks good to me, nice work. Harrias ^talk 07:16, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
