Comment[edit]

red symbolizes red? ;-) Is this a joke, or did the author of this lines just not know what it symbolizes? --zeno 11:16, 12 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for alerting me to the mistake, it was due to nothing but carelessness.

where's the latest flag?[edit]

On the Benin Empire page, it shows a red flag with what appears to be one man killing another man. Why is this one not on the flag page?

The Benin Empire, despite the name, has little to do with the modern Republic of Benin. Rather it was a kingdom in what is now Nigeria. The area we now know as Benin did not have that name until 1975. Monkeyman427 (talk) 12:43, 6 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
