1. article needs to explain in what way a symbol of a cockerel represents French-speaking Belgians? It seems sadly nothing more than to narrowmindedly ape the French cockerel - why? is it an agenda to someday annex southern Belgium into a greater France?

2. Flag seems as if to represent an region of France then anywhere in Belgium. Are there any follow-on conspiracies anent the aforesaid?

3. article needs to tell its readership in what way a flag bearing an red Francophone cockerel represents Wallonia's German-speaking communities?

4. Did Wallonia's minority German-speakers get a say in choosing the official flag designs?

5. Did the flag's heavy leanings towards the outside nation of France cause a bother within any sections of Belgium's Walloons, Germans and Dutch-speakers?

6. article needs tell us WHY southern Belgium wanted a flag of its own?

7. article needs to say how much older and historical the Flanders flag is aweighed to this unthoughtfully cooked-up Wallonia flag, and explain why (until this flag) there was never an historical Walloon flag?

8. article needs to show historical draft flag designs, at the time - especially any without cockerel symbolism.

9. article needs an citation anent Pierre Paulus, where the article swears: The flag was created in 1913, based on a painting by Pierre Paulus.

10. if the aforebove is true, then the article should at utleast bear the selfsame painting from whence the said Wallonia flag design was said to based off. Weird it hasn't made the article.

11. not for the first time, there seems heaps of Fascism/revisionism about the creation of Wallonia and its workings - has there been any known legal challenges against the official Wallonia flag? Nevermind the German-speakers, the flag barely representative of even French-speakers native to Belgium. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:411:1600:226:8FF:FEDC:FD74 (talk) 23:58, 11 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Why did the 'Walloons' somehow choose a French rooster emblem rather than an homegrown invention? edit

Seems as if 'Walloonia' and it's identity is highly confused and artificial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.168.203 (talk) 01:08, 20 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
