Some of the facts given in the flags of the world article are woefully wrong. I deleted the entire article and am now rebuilding it. Please be patient-- snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 23:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
There is a new article at Lion myth of Sri Lanka that a copy of this article plus some new information about "myths" (I didn't really read it). If that information is valid, it should be moved into this article. howcheng { chat} 19:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
I always think this flag from Sri Lanka is beautiful, but some guy from a New Zealand unversity: http://www.otago.ac.nz/philosophy/Staff/JoshParsons/flags/alpha.html thinks that flag is one the worsts in the actual world. -- 201.19.229.152 ( talk) 22:17, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
In my country, there is a mtyth that sri lanka's national animal is the lion. is this true? Are there even lions in sri lanka or is it just a symbol? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.149.7.72 ( talk) 16:21, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
I would like to point out a contradiction according to the Sri Lankan government's web portal "The maroon colored portion of the flag manifests the other minor religions", but the in the article it is said "the crimson background represents European Burghers and is also a reference to the rich colonial background of the country" which to the best of my knowledge is false.

A few examples of European Heraldic Lions and the Sri Lankan national flag. see it [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.20.191 ( talk) 18:04, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
//When Vijaya, the first King of the southern parts of island of Sri Lanka, arrived in Sri Lanka from India in 486 BC, he brought with him a flag with a symbol of a lion on it.// It is story of Mahavansa book. rather then a historical record. Even though there is nothing about "vijaya brought with him a flag with a symbol of a lion". So it is original research.

I propose to merge Flag of Sri Lanka into Bar. I think that the content in the Flag_of_Sri_Lanka article is more complete and more accurate. Plus it's more logical to have one article instead of two. Steve92341 ( talk) 16:38, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
