	20:54, 8 April 2023	350 × 234 (110 KB)	DougDommadome	This flag doesn't reflect the version officially used by the Commonwealth of Virginia at any official functions, or at any place where the flag is flown by the state in an official capacity. The origin of this helmet and knight are unknown to me, as their colors and designs do not correlate whatsoever with the actual flags used.

	21:21, 26 March 2023	350 × 234 (110 KB)	Patrickneil	Reverted to version as of 12:26, 28 February 2023 (UTC) Again, what Enzwell said is still true, while that is an artistically superior flag, it's simply not what the state government uses. Feel free to upload here as it's own file, assuming the sourcing allows for it.
	14:02, 25 March 2023	693 × 462 (577 KB)	Nux	The source of the flag is in its decription and she supposed to have a w:en:Parazonium in her hand not some brown blob; Reverted to version as of 17:19, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
	12:26, 28 February 2023	350 × 234 (110 KB)	Enzwell	No source given for reversion. New version did not reflect either the seal or flag as seen on official documentation or the website for the commonwealth of Virginia. Though artistically superior as far as can be researched without further reference it is not an accurate representation of the flag. Reverted to version as of 10:43, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
