	~~None of the flags presented for the contest were used till 2021, when Newgon members created a merged version of the Gradient Stripes flag and the [[MAP flag]].~~		=== Plagiarism claims ===

			None of the flags presented for the contest were used till 2021, when Newgon reemerged from a long hiatus. On their wiki they made a claim that the Gradient Stripes flag was the original concept the [[MAP flag]] was based on and referred to the latter as a "contrast version"<ref>[https://archive.is/XIXHQ MAP Flag on NewgonWiki] as of 12 Dec 2021, via archive.today.</ref>. After questions and criticism, they reinforced their statement:

			<blockquote>Initial tests on the "relative luminance" difference between the two outside blue bands in the 2018 and 2009 flags, reveal those differences to be almost identical (within 0.5-1%) suggesting that the former could be a very slightly darkened and tinted adaptation of the latter, with respect to the blue portion of the graphic.</blockquote>
			- The article ''MAP Flag'' on NewgonWiki as of 15 Dec 2022<ref>[https://archive.is/nUDDo MAP Flag on NewgonWiki] as of 15 Dec 2022, via archive.today.</ref>

			<blockquote>The linkage to the 2018 NOMAP Flag is contested by Map-Wiki, however the rationale given for our 2009 design is eerily similar to the 2018 NOMAP Flag. To say that the probability of the concept being copied/adapted is around 80% would probably be an understatement, but ultimately, we will never know if the flag was copied.</blockquote>
			- The article ''Debate Guide: Newgon's History'' on NewgonWiki as of 1 Feb 2023<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20230201193238/https://www.newgon.net/wiki/Debate_Guide:_Newgon's_History Debate Guide: Newgon's History on NewgonWiki] as of 1 Feb 2023, via Wayback Machine.</ref>

			Currently these phrases, as well as the word "version", are removed from NewgonWiki, and the edit history of these two articles is erased (the ''MAP Flag'' article in particular has a note that "older edits on this article are being used to make false claims offsite"<ref>[https://www.newgon.net/wiki/index.php?title=MAP_Flag&action=history MAP Flag: Revision history] on NewgonWiki.</ref>).

			=== Yesmap/United flags ===
			Simultaneously with implying plagiarism, Newgon developed a merged edit of their Gradient Stripes flag and the MAP flag. Initially titled "yesmap" as a pun on the NOMAP identity<ref>[https://archive.is/XIXHQ MAP Flag on NewgonWiki] as of 12 Dec 2021, via archive.today.</ref>, it was renamed to "united map flag" around May 2022<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220519031544/https://www.newgon.net/wiki/MAP_Flag MAP Flag on NewgonWiki] as of 19 May 2022, via Wayback Machine.</ref>.
