Seasons Greetings,

This is in reference to a relatively new umbrella article on en-wikipedia named Ceremonial pole. Ceremonial pole is a human tradition since ancient times; either existed in past at some point of time, or still exists in some cultures across global continents from north to south & from east to west. Ceremonial poles are used to symbolize a variety of concepts in several different world cultures.

Hi Earth - I noted that you removed the flag from the

I couldn't find any external reference for that. I've been trying but seems like a hard piece of information to get. On Wikipedia, the reference used seems circular in nature as each Wiki page cites another Wiki page that states that FMS flag was used as the Malayan Union's, without any proper external reference. It feels like somebody has made an assumption about the FMS and the Malayan Union, and it lived on to the point that every Wiki page assumes the Malayan Union flag was the FMS flag. Interestingly, outside publication (online) is also claiming the flags are the same by referencing Wikipedia. So, I think we will need to find an external proper reference to reinstate that claim, before the unchecked assumption gets propagated. __earth ^(Talk) 00:46, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, I'll check our library sources to see if I can locate anything useful.
