Removing flag of the country of origin

@Akerbeltz: I saw the series of reverts (three) that you have been doing. You removed the flag of the US State to which the Basque Country (autonomous community) belongs. Your reason is "unnecessary". That unfortunately is not a reason. What is unnecessary for you, might not be for others. The debate is whether or not the country is correct, and whether or not the flag is correct. If both are correct, and both are facts, then deleting it by means of saying is "unnecessary" is nothing more than ideological vandalism. Please, give a good reason on why we should remove the flag from the subdivision name when it is present in all regions of Spain. What is so special about the Basque Country (autonomous community) that we need to remove an actual factual truth? If you keep reverting without debating, you might be blocked from editing, Akerbeltz. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Temax (talk • contribs) 22:53, 7 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The no flags policy has been explained to you, I have checked your history. If you can't read and comprehend Wiki policy then I politely suggest an alternative past time. There is nothing more to say other than that "US State" definitely doesn't apply. Akerbeltz (talk) 11:46, 8 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I had a check of the claim that the flag is on "all regions of Spain", because if it was, that would be a pretty strong argument for it to be here for consistency. It isn't. Several articles (Asturias, Cantabria, La Rioja, Community of Madrid, Melilla, Murcia and Navarre) also have no flag. So about two-thirds do and one-third does not.

Definitely no strong consensus for other autonomous communities either. No-flags policy applies. Iñaki LL (talk) 18:48, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Basqueland/Basque Land vs Basque Country

Why not call it Basqueland? Wouldn't it make more sense in English? Wouldn't it be more accurate? There are tons of territories called blablabla-land in English, but blablabla country is not very common. 12qwas (talk) 16:02, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Cause nobody calls it that. We're not here to make up names. Akerbeltz (talk) 17:22, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
