The flag is absolutely not a produce of that mod. The mod got it from here, not the other way round. For some reason, the original file was deleted from Wikimedia years ago. There are countless sources for this flag that predate the mod in question.  Preceding unsigned comment added by AderynMelyn (talk  contribs) 22:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

fictious flag, the source listed is literally from a hoi4 mod's fandom page Userd898 (talk) 00:47, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

 Keep The flag is not fictional, it was used by a real life militant Welsh group in the 1960s. Photographs from that era confirm this. Where the file was previously hosted is not an indicator of its origins. CeltBrowne (talk) 06:51, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

File:Samo ku waar - Anthem of Somaliland (Instrumental).ogg

I was not aware that was a tag.

Regardless, Hassan Sheikh Mumin, the composer and lyricist for the anthem, died in 2008 in Norway. For a lot of his life he lived outside the borders of Somaliland, including both Norway and Djbouti. If I understand the wording of the tag provided correctly, if he were to have created Samo Ku Waar outside of Somaliland, it would be under the copyright of his host country. The problem now is that we don't know where he was when he created the song. TansoShoshen (talk) 01:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
 Speedy keep Hassan Sheikh Mumin was most likely in Borama when he composed the anthem, see https://somalipen.blogspot.com/2008/03/obituary-farewell-xasan-shiikh-muumin.html?m=1, where the author of this post on a World Association of Writers page recalled an interview with him hosted on 22 August 1997, the same year when the anthem was made. It's safe to say that he moved back to Borama from Djibouti by 1997, before he moved back to Norway, based on context clues (the article stated that he lived his last years in Norway after it mentioned about the interview). Samo ku waar also appears to be adopted by Somaliland at the same year when the anthem was made, and because the Somaliland government has remained in Hargeisa this whole time, we can safely say that this was first made in Somaliland.

I'd also like to add this quote from the blogspot, which is relevant to where the Somaliland anthem would be published:

Like many other leading playwrights of the berisamaad era, Xasan withdrew from the play-making practice and kept a low profile ever since around the mid-1970s when he moved from the Somali capital Mogadishu to the Republic of Djibouti and, later, back to his district of birth, Borame.

Let's get to the Berne Convention's definition of publication:

The expression "published works" means works published with the consent of their authors, whatever may be the means of manufacture of the copies, provided that the availability of such copies has been such as to satisfy the reasonable requirements of the public, having regard to the nature of the work. The performance of a dramatic, dramatico-musical, cinematographic or musical work, the public recitation of a literary work, the communication by wire or the broadcasting of literary or artistic works, the exhibition of a work of art and the construction of a work of architecture shall not constitute publication.

Because Mumin maintained a low profile from the mid-1970s overall even after he moved back to Somaliland, he probably first showed Samo ku waar to the Somaliland government so that it could be adopted as a national anthem. Then the government accepted it and lawfully published the Somaliland anthem in Somaliland to inform people about the state symbols.

This file was initially tagged by Grand-Duc as Copyvio (copyvio) and the most recent rationale was: By looking at the uploads of Special:ListFiles/JohnMizuki, I came to the conclusion that the user did not pay sufficient attention to the actual copyright situation. He always claims "anonymous work" and "PD-Old-70", but the circumstantial evidence on the media is not of sufficient support for that. Most shots are made broadly between 1940 and 1960, and this is by far not old enough to brashly assume a photographer's death from 1954 or earlier.The uploader is to provide mode data to substantiate the legitimacy of his uploads, until then, a deletion is warranted.  REAL 💬   16:33, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
