I've reverted the image[edit]

I've reverted the image back to the one that most accurately reproduces the original PNG flag. The other version of the image has completely the wrong aspect ratio (it's a square rather than a rectangle) and the "+C0" has less accurate scaling and font. What's the reason for switching to the other version? Bryan Derksen 05:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because the larger version has a POV rant and the key in plain text in an XML comment. Load the file in its own window and view the source to see what I mean. Timichal deleted revisions like this the other day. --bainer (talk) 02:02, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see it. Firstly, the key is no more in plaintext due to that than it is due to the coding that gives those bars their colors. Secondly, POV is irrelevant here - the "rant" is actually the description of the image provided by the guy who originally created it, follow the link to the original source and compare. And finally, if a piece of an image offendeth, then pluck out just that piece. SVG is an XML-based format, it's trivial to edit compared to most other image formats. The version you keep replacing this with is vastly inferior in appearance. Bryan Derksen 02:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There, took me all of thirty seconds to delete that single line. Please be a little more circumspect in future, you were messing up an image used over multiple Wikipedias for the sake of a bit of metadata that cannot be seen unless one goes all the way to the source and searches for it.

Reverted again. Why this time? Bryan Derksen 07:17, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
