growing up i understood that the flag stood for something different from wht your explaintion. the blue triangle and star stands for the 3 sides of democracy, and the red and white stands for the blood and sweat of the people. i dont mean to correct you or any thing, but that was just the way i thought growing up.

yes the blood of Puerto Rico should always stand by there country and never turn there bck on it.....and thats that!!!—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.139.59.231 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Where did they go?

I've noticed that several flag images, including all the ones on this page, have vanished...what happened? --^hello,gadren 03:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Some of the images have come from sources that do not allow for commercial re-use of their images. So I have removed them, but in it's place, I found website links that hosted the images that WP used to host so yall can see them still, but in another location. Sorry.

[edit] It should be Noted

It should be noted that the majority of the content of this article came from the article "Flags of Puerto Rico" created by User:Marine 69-71 also known as "Tony the Marine" on March 15, 2006 and that said content is posted here as a result of a redirect. The history page of "Flags of Puerto Rico" which was not merged with the history page of this article can be found here History page of Flags of Puerto Rico in case of original authorship verification.

I apologize for not doing the history merging, I have no done it before and if you wish for the history to be merged, go right ahead. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 04:40, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

That's O.K. Zscout, you have good intentions. User:Nunh-huh offered to do the history page merge. Tony the Marine 05:04, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I think Nunh-huh finished the task, since all that was needed to do is move the article, not the talk page since it only contained the template for the PR Wikiproject. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

How is a history merge done? Is that an administrator-only thing? —Bkell (talk) 06:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe so. I am an admin, but just never pulled it off, thats all. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 06:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, the Spanish did not design the Burgundian cross flag - it came with the territory when Spain inherited the Duchy of Burgundy with the accession of Charles to the throne. Prior to that, it was used as the flag of the forces of that Duchy.
