Flag
There have been disputed edits regarding the inclusion of c:File:Flag of Zubin Potok.png, with the latest revert by User:TU-nor with the edit summary "A flag incuding the Serbian CoA can not be an official flag of a city in Kosovo. Source needed that this is in any way official". It is ok to include unofficial flags, providing that we do not misrepresent what they are. The flag does not need to be approved by the national government of Kosovo, if it is displayed by the town authorities then we should include it, probably indicating that is is 'unrecognised by the national government'. Google StreetView shows that this flag shown outside what looks like a public building in the town.[1] Is this the town hall or another municipal building? However, there may be a copyright issue, see c:Commons:Undeletion requests/Current requests#Logos for Kosovo ethnic Serb municipalities. Verbcatcher (talk) 18:30, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the flag is in real use (and I agree that it looks that way), it could and should be presented in the article, but not uncommented in the infobox. Feel free to present it in the main article with the proper disclsimer. --T*U (talk) 03:52, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to add a statement to say that the flag is unofficial, because I have not seen a reliable source that confirms this. I have seen claims that the Kosovo government requires that they authorise town symbols, but it does not confirm whether they have authorised this flag. Also, I plan to wait for the result of an expected deletion request on Commons. Thanks, Verbcatcher (talk) 16:16, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TU-nor: I will restore an image of this flag, following the retention of this file in Commons. If the flag is unofficial then we should indicate this. I can't see a way to add a flag caption in Template:Infobox settlement so I will add the image to the body of the article. It merits more prominence than amongst the Gallery section, and I will use the 'center' attribute to avoid the text sandwich effect. You may want to revise my caption, preferably including a source to confirm that status of the flag. Verbcatcher (talk) 19:47, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Verbcatcher the photo link you've provided dates from 2016, as of 2023 no longer in public use [[2]]; the logo needs to be adopted through the municipal assembly as required per law on local self-government in Kosovo: [[3]] Article 7 Symbols 7.3 "The symbols of a Municipality shall be approved and changed by the municipal assembly pursuant to the constitutional and legal provisions of Republic of Kosova and shall not resemble to symbols of other states or municipalities within or outside Republic of Kosova". They shall use the temporary Kosovo COA until a new logo competition is announced on these four northern municipalities. AceDouble (talk) 13:46, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
