  • Not a vote as such, but I'd say this probably belongs in ITN rather than DYK. As per the hook, how many states recognized the USA 5 hours after the Declaration of Independence? As per the flag, we do not know any decision so far, to my knowledge, what version of the Catalan flag the new republic will use. --Soman (talk) 17:24, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
