In my flag book (the one with ratios in) says the ratio is 2:3. Altough this one is abit out of date has old flags in USSR etc and also its known as Jibuti. - fonzy

The FOTW page on Djibouti has multiple references to flagbooks stating it's 21:38 (or even 1:2). Even though they themselves have a 2:3 flag, I'd say the ratio is sufficiently odd as to not be made up, it has to have some validity, and the (small) Djiboutian website also features a tiny flag that seems more in line with a 21:38 flag than a 2:3 one, see here (at the bottom).

Whichever it is, the article should be consistent. The sidebar says the proportions are 4:7, but the flag depicted is 2:3. Ksn (talk) 23:38, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Isosceles?[edit]

From the image, the white triangle looks equilateral. A•N•N•A hi! 22:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, if you look at the coordinates given in the flag's SVG code, it is precisely equilateral. Ksn (talk) 00:57, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The page currently states it is equilateral in the introductory paragraph but isosceles in the summary box on the right and in the "Characteristics" section. https://www.fotw.info/flags/dj.html This page says "The triangle in this flag is isosceles, but definitely not equilateral in my source (and in many vexillological books).

Stub?[edit]

Is this article to large to be a stub? What else could be added to it? I believe the stub template should be removed. --Randomperson2864 (talk) 17:08, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
