Question: Done the first two. Please confirm the last one is correct? You have changed a 1995 to a 1996. ~~This is currently a different variant.~~ — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:15, 16 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

@MSGJ:, that is correct. The file was renamed because the dates were wrong. That flag came into effect on January 1st 1996, not in 1995. Fry1989 ^eh? 16:42, 16 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ah, I see CommonsDelinker carried out the replacement of that last file. Thank you for your assistance. Fry1989 ^eh? 19:17, 16 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Okay then, we are all good. Just a bit strange that the variant is called 1995 but doesn't include that year in its range. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:42, 17 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

The Act to change the flag was passed in 1995, but through the recent research I have done, the flag did not come into effect until 1996. It is a simple error, but I understand the confusion. Fry1989 ^eh? 18:16, 17 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
