crwflags.com[edit]

The www.crwflags.com site is not an authoritative source. It includes all flags, including drawings of people who are not historians and specialists in vexilology.

The Treaty of Adrianople (1829) between Russia and Turkey, besides recognising Greek independence and Serbian autonomy, also established free trade for Moldavia and Wallachia with the reopening of their ports to the shipping of all nations. At the same time the creation of a Moldo-Wallachian fleet (both mercantile and military) began. Colours were stated for the two principalities, and at the beginning they were mainly used as lance pennons (red and blue for Moldavia and yellow and blue for Wallachia). This induced some authors to assign horizontal bicolored flags to the two countries (Deppermann and Ruschke, Hamburg, circa 1840), but there is no evidence for their existence.

Mario Fabretto - is he an expert on the flags of the Moldavian principality? --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 09:10, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

FOTW is extensively used as a source on Wikimedia projects (if you want to challenge this source - and by default, all images that have this source as a reference - use the admin panel). As for Mario Fabretto, the answer is yes, he is an expert. Are you? (Rgvis (talk) 06:24, 23 June 2021 (UTC))[reply]
Can you back up your words with quotes from sources? --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 06:44, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Лобачев Владимир: You have given yourself all the answers right from the beginning of this topic. In addition, you know very well from previous discussions that there are other sources that also confirm this information. (Rgvis (talk) 07:18, 23 June 2021 (UTC))[reply]
There is no need for general words. Just quote from the source here. --Лобачев Владимир (talk) 10:32, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
