Cartier in St Pierre was 1536
Is the background of the lowest square (behind the lions) red or orange? J i m p 09:37, 13 February 2007 (UTC) The CIA says it's red but this picture has orange. J i m p 06:12, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm removing the french flag from the article. Sure, SP&M is part of France and uses their flag. But this article should be about the flag with the yellow ship on it, not about all flags flown on the islands. Please also note that the USA state flag articles, e.g. Flag of Florida, do not mention the flag of the USA. Foobaz· o< 19:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't find this flag documented in a really reliable source. Flags of the World is a rich database, but it is a hodge podge of user-submitted material.
st-pierre-et-miquelon.com is not official in any way and it cites Wikipedia as its source.
grandcolombier.com doesn't have the relevant info.
So, this unofficial flag is used on one unofficial website and it is unclear who is behind it. -- Amir E. Aharoni ( talk) 20:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
The lead currently reads "The flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is officially the flag of France, as Saint Pierre and Miquelon is a self-governing overseas collectivity of France." That makes no sense. The flag of France is the flag of France. They fly it in Saint Pierre and Miquelon as the flag of France because the territory belongs to France. They don't fly the French flag as the flag of Saint Pierre and Miquelon. This is no different from US states and Canadian and Australian provinces that do have official flags that stand for them and fly those in addition to the flags of their respective countries. The first sentence should read simply "There is no official flag representing Saint Pierre and Miquelon." That can be followed by something to the effect of "An unofficial flag has been proposed and flies over ...".
Consider it this way: When you're watching the Olympic opening ceremonies and see a group entering the stadium carrying the flag of France, you don't think to yourself, "Oh, look, there's the delegation from Saint Pierre and Miquelon." Largoplazo ( talk) 14:03, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
