coat of arms features five pineapples?

Disk or no disk
Permjak, you need to provide your sources and gain consensus here on the talk page for your
revision which so far is not sourced and is contradictory. Please do so, and not continue to revert the page. Fry1989eh? 19:31, 10 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Yes although 10 years given to article. Where your sources that on flag of no white disk.
Permjak (
talk) 22:59, 10 February 2013 (UTC)reply
There is plenty of photographic evidence that the disk is no longer a requirement. Do you have a definitive law source to the contrary? The website is insufficient. Fry1989eh? 00:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)reply
You have not brought nor one source, only your cogitations.
Permjak (
talk) 07:19, 12 February 2013 (UTC)reply
I could say the same thing about you, but that's besides the point.
FOTW has an interesting interpretation of the situation, suggesting that the disk is used on land but excluded at sea. It is not so simple however. In fact, the British Government does not appear to entirely agree with that interpretation, because when they decided that the flags of the overseas territories
are to fly in London during State events, we can see the Cayman Islands flag
with no disk. There needs to be clarity of what the facts are, before you change what has been the accepted fact for 6 years. Fry1989eh? 07:40, 12 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Whose opinion has a greater priority - british or Cayman Islands?
Permjak (
talk) 22:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)reply
You forget, the Cayman Islands are British. Fry1989eh? 01:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)reply
Merge proposal
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result of this discussion was Merge. Seems fairly clear to me since this has been running since September. The C of E God Save the Queen! (
talk) 20:24, 23 May 2021 (UTC)reply
Support the merge as well

Oppose – the flag of every BOT has its own standalone article – this should be no different. There are enough independent secondary sources to establish notability for this particular flag.[1][2][3] —

I'll qualify my response in saying that if this is to be merged, the
Flag of the Cayman Islands article should remain while the list should be merged into it. —
Bloom6132 (
talk) 09:40, 4 May 2021 (UTC)reply
Support – ignore what I said above. Just looked over the templates in both articles and it became clear that the list would be merged into this article. —

Always love to see a BOT flag, it's almost guarunteed a spot on
WP:DYKSTATS. Reminds I was planning on doing Montserrat's expansion (I assume you have no objection to me nominating that one @
Bloom6132:?) Nevertheless, here's the review: Date and expansion good. All 3 hooks look good though my preference is for ALT2. QPQ is done and no close paraphrasing. Picture licence is fine. However, just one tiny thing holding it up and that's the merge tag on it but looking at the discussion, it seems to me to be a clear SNOW close in favour of merging. Once that's removed it can be promoted (or would you like me to do it as a NAC?). Please ping me with your response. The C of E God Save the Queen! (

The C of E: Thanks for the review! Feel free to do an NAC – this newly-expanded article covers pretty much everything in
List of Cayman Islands flags (other than the old Red Ensign design, which seemed minor enough for me to leave out). —
