The constructions sheets according to FOTW and vexilla-mundi.com totally disagree with each other. Anyone know anything about which one is valid and which one is bogus? —Gabbe 11:51, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're not all that different, but I'd go with FOTW, as it actually appears to have published the textual flag specification from Uzbekistan law. The crescent's exact shape seems to be the vague point. I like the way vexilla mundi's crescent looks better, but what I like doesn't always equate to what the law dictates (if it does at all). Maybe go over to en:Talk:Uzbekistan and get some native opinions. ¦ Reisio 17:19, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In my experience, FOTW is more trustworthy. They quote their sources, and there are people on their email list who will discuss any problems. Vexilla-munti, on the other hand, presents a construction sheet with absolutely no citation. User:dbenbenn 21:48, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FOTW's construction sheet seems more reliable since it has an official source. But most of the other sources I found (Flag Database, photos of the flag, another photo) use the wider crescent. Then there's a photo of a flag over the government building ([1]), but it's difficult to tell which kind it is. It looks more like it's something from between the two versions. –Vzb83 21:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
