  • ... that the colony of New York's citizens unofficially adopted the George Rex Flag (pictured) to protest against freedom of religion granted to Catholics in Quebec?

  • Symbol confirmed.svg The article is over 2,000 characters long and only a day old. The sources check out and there appears to be no copyright violation, including the images. QPQ done. Readers might find it interesting that the flag was adopted at the start of the American Revolutionary War (I did), so perhaps the year can be included in the hook. Anyway, good to go!

Xwejnusgozo, the George Rex Flag entry does not mention the year 1777, but it is mentioned further down under "The First Flag Resolution 1777". Surtsicna (talk) 19:47, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Symbol confirmed.svg Concur with review of Surtsicna. As per a decision in ANI, this nom requires two reviews. LavaBaron (talk) 07:19, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
  • Symbol possible vote.svg Unfortunately I am seeing a couple of issues here, particularly with the flag itself. The article contains four different images of the flag, one with the caption "The commonly accepted version of the George Rex flag", but the only apparent source for the details of the flag (first source) says that nobody is sure what the flag looked like and doesn't mention a "commonly accepted" version. Furthermore, even that source does not look to be of impeccable reliability. I would like to see better sourcing for the details of the flag itself, and certainly, I wouldn't want to see the image featured without better sourcing. Gatoclass (talk) 13:50, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
