We have commons:Category:Flags of Washington (state). Should there be a subcategory specifically for the flag of Washington, and not just one for flags of Washington? Would be nice to separate the official state flag from other flags associated with the state. --- Another Believer ( Talk) 15:04, 1 July 2017 (UTC)
I removed the reference to the NAVA survey, which has been added back twice. The problem with the NAVA survey is that it is neither a reliable primary nor secondary source. The survey is not a reliable primary source for the reasons I have explained: it was an unsampled, unverified poll. Period. NAVA's own material shows this. Opinion polls must have a representative sample to be in the universe of reliable evidence of public opinion. Any secondary material NAVA published that derives from the unverified primary material is unreliable as well. The reference violates Wikipedia's own policies.
