I recently created this list and showed it to an experienced list editor, who said it could be ready for FLC. Thought I'd nominate it and see. Acdixon 14:40, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Could you re-format the first table(symbols section)? The description needs more space, it just looks unreadable. --Crzycheetah 08:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I've widened it some and narrowed the quotebox for the pledge. At what screen resolution is it unreadable? Acdixon 14:13, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't see any difference. The screen resolution is 1024x768. The description text overlaps with the flags that are on the left of the text. One more question: Why do you use the thumb parameter for the flag images?--Crzycheetah 17:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I removed the thumb parameter. Not sure why I had it there in the first place. As for the table bleed-over, I tried it at 1024x768 and still didn't see the problem. Then I switched from Mozilla Firefox to Internet Explorer, and I am able to see some bleed-over on the left side. Not sure what the root of this problem is or how to fix it, but apparently it's one of those stupid IE quirks. I'll try to play with it a bit, and I'm open to any suggestions that anyone might have about how to fix it. Acdixon 17:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I moved the seal and flag images to the rightmost column, which seems to have fixed the bleed-over. Acdixon (talk • contribs • count) 16:51, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Aren't Kentucky Colonels something of a state symbols? 67.174.57.188 04:51, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe that quite falls under the same umbrella as other state insignia, as it does not appear in KRS Chapter 002, which deals with state symbols. It is more of an honorary title. Acdixon 14:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support (conditional) - I'm not certain on this, but I don't understand how the state flag and seal can be tagged and licensed as one's own work. Otherwise, the list looks great. Broad, well illustrated and referenced. Nice work. Lara♥Love 17:10, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The flag image is available at The Commons. I'm not a copyright expert, so I can't say whether it is possible to release the rendition of the seal into the public domain, but knowing the editor who created it, I have no doubt that it's his original work. Acdixon 17:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support With regard to the copyright issue commons:Image:Flag_of_Kentucky.svg states "This image is a U.S. state, federal district, or insular area flag. Such flags are in the public domain." The seal image is based on the flag, so I don't see any issue here. (The image of the seal is just showing part of the flag). Tompw (talk) (review) 20:18, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Although I'd prefer the references split up into two groups General and Specific and get rid of the Notes headline. There are no notes in the Notes section, only specific references.--Crzycheetah 18:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - great list. Geraldk 12:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
