Afghanistan

As Taliban government is not recognised in UN, then Wikipedia must show tricoloured flag (black, red and green) of Afghanistan. Zaki Frahmand, 10 August 2023, 13:48 AEST

Transcontinental Countries

Countries such as Turkey, Azerbaijan, Goergia, Russia and Kazakstan are transcontinatal and Wikipedia have to show only area of the country belong to Asia. Zaki Frahmand, 10 August 2023, 13:47 AEST

Mistake in the listing of countries

Abkhazia and South Ossetia are not independent contries. They are breakaway regions of the Republic of Georgia. Abkhazia and South Ossetia are Georgia!!! 185.70.54.84 (talk) 10:12, 2 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An outdated info- The Republic of Artsakh has been fully taken by Azerbaijani forces in September 2023, and its governing authority was proclaimed to dissolve in 1 January 2024. But the state is still listed amongst the contemporary state groups. AyunaKawai (talk) 13:20, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flag

Hello, I personally think an image of the unofficial flag of Asia should added to the template content Here is the flag:- File:Flag of Asia.png BuddyHeigh (talk) 17:44, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you really feel that there is value in presenting the independent work of one "Zrcook610" as if it were one of the most basic pieces of information one could know about an entire continent of 4 billion people? Remsense诉 18:01, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well the thing about unofficial flags is, they're unofficial. They are just things someone made up and have no standing whatsoever. Canterbury Tail talk 21:34, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
