I have a question about flags like these:

 
Part No: 3596pb12  Name: Flag on Flagpole, Straight with Great Britain Pattern (Stickers)
* 
3596pb12 Flag on Flagpole, Straight with Great Britain Pattern (Stickers)
Parts: Flag, Decorated

The names of parts like this one suggest that they only have a sticker on one
side, but all sets that they occur in have at least two of every sticker (some
mirrored), suggesting that they should have a sticker on both sides. I suggest
that either a note is made on the items or that they are renamed so that the
name says that they have stickers on both sides.

Opinions?

Do they all have two stickers or is it one sticker that is wrapped around the
end of the flag?

Looks like most of them are individual stickers - am I imagining some that have
one sticker that wraps around?

At any rate, most of them are described as having a "sticker" when it appears
they have two stickers. I definitely looks like something that should be cleared
up.

Some of them already are entered as you describe

currently selling has two stickers on it.

After looking at the note on the American flag version, I wonder if this is one
of those situations where many of these flags were entered long ago with no indication
that they had stickers on both sides, then never updated because some sellers
were selling them with only one sticker.

It might sound odd, but it would not be the first time incorrect entries were
allowed to persist simply because fixing them might confuse people. I would suggest
using the change feature to request new descriptions modeled on 3596pb05 above
and see what happens.

Looks like it's happening right now - thanks!

For future reference, notes have to be added by an admin, but title/description
changes can be submitted using the request form.

Look at the note on this flag - seems this is an issue that has caused problems
in the past.
