	14:06, 2 October 2012	700 × 500 (16 KB)	AceDouble	Reverted to version as of 10:29, 23 February 2011 Palosirkka thank you for your motivation but the one you reverted before was a copy and very smooth, this is the original vectorized flag
	11:11, 12 September 2012	700 × 500 (16 KB)	Palosirkka	revert to previous and scrubbed with http://codedread.com/scour/
	10:29, 23 February 2011	700 × 500 (16 KB)	AceDouble	This is the original

	11:26, 4 February 2011	700 × 500 (16 KB)	AceDouble	Finally, i found the original version, there is no need to adjust the flag :)
	12:51, 30 January 2011	700 × 500 (24 KB)	AceDouble	First of all, i'm an albanian and i know my flag, this version is the original, cause our eagle never had written eyes, this one was approved by the albanian parliament in 1991.
	04:58, 23 December 2010	700 × 500 (19 KB)	Zscout370	Gave the eagle full vision (seems to be my problem this week)
	03:54, 23 December 2010	700 × 500 (25 KB)	TigerTjäder	Reverted to version as of 17:33, 22 July 2010 - Current version is missing the left eye
	17:33, 22 July 2010	700 × 500 (25 KB)	Mnmazur	Changed the eagle to a single path rather than a path and a clone of the path. At small resolutions, the eagle was appearing to be split in half because of that design, due to what I believe is a flaw in MediaWiki's SVG rendering software.
	01:47, 15 September 2007	700 × 500 (12 KB)	TigerTjäder	Slight edit to prevent red line in the middle of the eagle in large renderings.
	22:09, 13 September 2007	700 × 500 (12 KB)	TigerTjäder	Hand made, eagle based on last version, proportion and color fixed according to [http://www.fotw.net/flags/al.html]
	06:46, 24 February 2006	750 × 500 (25 KB)	Denelson83	Improved version, e-mailed to uploader by author of xrmap, PD
	01:28, 15 February 2006	700 × 500 (10 KB)	Achille~commonswiki	placed a solid black block in the middle to prevent the small red line
	01:17, 15 February 2006	700 × 500 (21 KB)	Achille~commonswiki	the Firefox SVG renderer and the mediawiki software exhibit some offest, line in the middle fixed
	01:03, 15 February 2006	700 × 500 (21 KB)	Achille~commonswiki	Ok, I thinkg I got it working now
	00:59, 15 February 2006	612 × 792 (21 KB)	Achille~commonswiki	fixed the sides a bit, smoother now
	17:58, 21 December 2005	700 × 500 (12 KB)	Reisio	Reverted to earlier revision
	23:48, 20 December 2005	700 × 500 (13 KB)	Zscout370	The flag appeared broken on my end, used same colors as reisio.
	14:11, 20 December 2005	700 × 500 (12 KB)	Reisio	tiny pedantic fix :p
	13:45, 20 December 2005	700 × 500 (12 KB)	Reisio	simplify, add some info
	01:08, 19 December 2005	700 × 500 (12 KB)	Reisio	rewrite / same red, fix ratio to 5:7, public domain / paths are a bit chunky in places, but it should look better than previous - will make prettier later
	02:49, 14 October 2005	630 × 434 (9 KB)	Dbenbenn	change red to #CE1126, according to http://www.fotw.net/flags/al.html. Changes are PD
