User:Vanilla Wizard/Kanak flag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kanak flag is one of two flags representing New Caledonia, and serves to represent the indigenous Kanak people. Originally used as a symbol of the FLNKS party, it flies alongside the French flag. It was approved to fly from flagpoles after a vouex took place in the Congress of New Caledonia. The French and Kanak flags flying together represents the unity of New Caledonia. The flag has been the subject of controversy, and the flag debate has continued, with some continued support for a proposal to create a new single flag for the island, which would represent both the French and Kanak peoples.
This page is an example of a proposed solution to an editing conflict. In this proposal, the infobox of New Caledonia would link to both articles (the caption would likely read "New Caledonia's two flags: the French flag and the Kanak flag"). Because the island uses two different flags with different histories and symbolism, each flag would have its own article. By not having an individual article under the name "Flag(s) of New Caledonia," we can hopefully avoid future edit wars. |
