"the seven stars stand for the seven administrative divisions, with the central star denoting the capital, St. George's"(CIA World Factbook, very bottom of the "Government" tab) and
"The yellow star on a red disc stands for the Borough of St. George, Grenada's capital, and the other six stars for the remaining six parishes."(DK, under "Symbolism of the Flag" subheading)
"The flag used prior to independence in 1967 also featured a nutmeg, since Grenada is a major world supplier of this commodity, and is known as the "Spice Island."(DK)
Bloom6132, why is Negotiations on independence commenced after the Grenada United Labour Party emerged victorious in the election in August 1967 better than Negotiations on independence commenced after the Grenada United Labour Party won the election in August 1967? What extra meaning is conveyed by the extra five syllables? -- 84.64.247.8 ( talk) 08:52, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
"There's no WP policy that says words shouldn't be misspelled."See WP:COMPETENCE. There's only one party here willfully ignoring policy and guidelines (e.g. WP:Consensus) to suit their own purposes. There's Flag of Manitoba (passed in May), Flag of New Brunswick and Flag of the Solomon Islands (both passed in 2017), good articles passed by 3 different reviewers. That's the established consensus on how a quality flag article should be formatted. Are you trying to say you know better than all of us? — Bloom6132 ( talk) 10:20, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Saw this on WP:3O. Of the two options, I think the more concise "won the election" is preferable. Yilloslime ( talk) 16:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
"would refrain from lengthening this"is quite telling – while you accuse me of such, it is indeed you who has WP:OWN issues. — Bloom6132 ( talk) 00:20, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
"It isn't inaccurate"– is that your best comeback? Prove it. Also, a reminder that third opinions are
"neither mandatory nor binding". So I'm actually not required to abide by any comments made here – it's not binding consensus. — Bloom6132 ( talk) 07:32, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
"neither mandatory nor binding", but consensus is very much a guiding principle and yes you do have to abide by it. It really isn't that important in this single instance, but it worries me if you are right that there are a bunch of articles this badly written passing peer review, and it worries me that you are running around wasting people's time with your highly ideosynchratic ideas about elections and consensus. Again, please do have a think about it. You're making yourself look increasingly silly with the lengths you are going to prevent improvement of the prose here. -- 84.64.236.222 ( talk) 10:01, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
The content dispute is very minor, and I hope settled. It's time to invoke WP:DEADHORSE. Richard Keatinge ( talk) 11:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Happy to review this article. I'll try to give comments sometime tomorrow (so in the next 24 hours – it's late where I am) Aza24 ( talk) 08:37, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

My concerns have been appropriately addressed, thank you. I went through the sources as well and everything else looked good there. The last two things I would say are that the "Sovereignty over" line I still find somewhat odd, so if you can come up with a better way to phrase that it might be better (your reasonings against my specific suggestions there made sense though). Also, when I was talking about linking Kingdom of Great Britain and Kingdom of France I meant in the "between the French and the British" line. Either way, these issues are not outstanding enough to prevent a pass. Good work here and I appreciate your work on this national symbol – and looking at your userpage it looks like many others as well! Passing now. Aza24 ( talk) 02:56, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
