Regarding Flag_of_Ascension_Island.svg

Hello. I noticed that you created an SVG for Flag of Ascension Island. I am involved in a project to put together a repository of flags for all standard registered geographical regions (according to IETF language tag and IANA Subtag Registry). Our main criteria for this repository is that all the flags are available as Public Domain. So far we managed to collect information for 240 out of 246 needed flag which are all available as Public Domain on Wikipedias or Commons. Few examples:

• SZ: File:Flag_of_Eswatini.svg
• TA: File:Flag_of_Tristan_da_Cunha.svg
• TC: File:Flag_of_the_Turks_and_Caicos_Islands.svg
• TD: File:Flag_of_Chad.svg
• TG: File:Flag_of_Togo.svg
• TH: File:Flag_of_Thailand.svg
• TJ: File:Flag_of_Tajikistan.svg
• TK: File:Flag_of_Tokelau.svg

Your file, Flag of Ascension Island, is among those 6 which are not release under Public Domain and I'm contacting you to see if it would be possible to re-license this image under PD. Obviously, if you agree to do this, we will make sure that a link-back to Commons page for the image as well as authors' attribution are embedded in the file's metadata fields. We will also provide all the authors of those images collected with a link to the public repository where last version of images are stored. I'd appreciate it if you let me know about the possibility of this. Thank you very much in advance. --Shervinafshar (talk) 00:19, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
