Per COM:OW, contested changes should be split to a different file.

	22:40, 17 February 2009	900 × 600 (167 KB)	Ptkfgs	arial is wrong for the gadsden flag. it didn't exist until two centuries later. i have re-set it in caslon: 1. it existed when the flag was created; 2. it was quite popular in the colonies; 3. the surviving period flags use a serif typeface.
