I am reverting all your replacements of UK flags with Scottish flags. A nice exercise, but not supported by our policies.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:17, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Please read WP:SOVEREIGNFLAG, it is crystal clear.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:57, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

I do not agree with 'your' changes to mine, as the constituent parts of the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland are devolved). Towns and councils come under devolved administration (devolved parliaments in each case), so please stop changing these flags back to the UK flag.

I am sorry that you disagree with me but our policies (specifically WP:SOVEREIGNFLAG) support my point of view.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:06, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Wiki need to review its 'outdated' policies in relation to 'devolved issues' relating to the constituent parts of the UK (pre 1997).

Council matters (including towns) are now devolved. Devolved areas should have their respective national flags. However, the UK 'still' has control over such matters as Defence, and Foreign Affairs.

Once Wiki have reviewed, and changed its outdated flags policy, then with regard to twin towns, then change the flags back to the way they were, when I 'corrected' them.

You are welcome to start an request for comments at Wikipedia:Village Pump (policy) about an amendment of the policy. May be the community would agree with you, and the policy can be changed as a result. I do not have any opinion on the matter, and consequently I have no interest in changing the existing policy, I merely implement it. If it gets changed, I will implement the new policy.--Ymblanter (talk) 16:45, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Many thanks for your welcome comments re the above. I am glad that you hold no views either way. This would make you a good candidate to perhaps chair such a Wiki review with a 'balanced view' on the issue, with other Wiki senior members. I have no knowledge about 'the process' of suggesting any changes to this policy on 'twin towns.' With regard to the UK, I feel that the 'key issue' would be what 'is' devolved, and what is 'not' devolved. Perhaps this would make a good starting point on deciding which flag to use. It would also be very progressive in its approach! With regard to twin towns, I did read an online news item some time ago about the Scottish Parliament trying to 'encourage' more Scottish towns / cities to twin with other towns and cities in other countries. Although their plans were met with mixed success! Please note, that there are 'also' twin town links with constituent parts of the UK. For example; Dudley (England) is twinned with Fort William (Scotland). The references I found for this twinning I found very interesting, which I added in the wiki twin towns web page (which had none previously).

At the end of last year, I tried to add a bit of colour to the UK twin towns by adding flags. Before this, the web pages looked dull and boring! One of your co wiki members deleted these initially, but then relented, providing I added some references to the twin towns. So, I did a lot of work trying to get references to back up those on the twin towns in the Scotland web page, which had less twin towns than England, so would be easier to do. So most of the twin towns shown 'did' actually have good references, which I added (but it took me a lot of time and effort!). Although, some are news articles, these may become dead links in the future, so will need to be reviewed occasionally. If you look at the Scotland twin towns web page, you will notice that there are many references, but on other pages in many other parts of the world there are very few! Many thanks once again for listening to my comments and views.

Sure. I am not sure I would be useful to chair anyting (an in any case, in Wikipedia there is no such notion as chaitring discussions), but you can just open a new topic at Wikipedia:Village Pump (policy), briefly explain your views there and see what others would say.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:42, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
