Flag

Minor detail I noticed: this article states that Glasgow has a flag and shows a picture for it.

However, being from Glasgow myself and never having seen nor heard of this flag previously, I checked with the Flag Institute and they've confirmed that the city doesn't have any flags registered with them.

As disappointing as that is. 2A02:C7C:D229:DE00:24F7:40FD:69FB:5B4F (talk) 18:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I was the one who approved your edit (as it does have merit) and also opened up the discussion on the Talk page of the file in Commons.

There's some info there saying that a flag of some sort for Glasgow does exist, but I'm still trying to figure out if it's sufficient grounds enough to include it here seeing as there's really no reliable secondary sources as of yet.

Other editors might want to chime in there if they're interested. Thanks! PritongKandule-✉️📝 08:40, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

uncategorized images

Hi, I found a lot of uncategorized images recently uploaded to commons with about 700 being in Glasgow and around [1] (all of them having location info) - zoom in to Glasgow. These images would need proper categorization. Anybody who wants to care? best --Herzi Pinki (talk) 10:30, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
