`  You really do not understand:  1-The question is why the symbols must be removed from the infobox;  2-They MAY be still valid. What we have until now, and nobody can find more evidences, is that law of 1962; The last law that deals SPECIFICALLY with the topic is the one to be followed; It doesn´t matter if this law is from the time of Cleopatra. It doesn´t matter if it´s a colonial symbol.  3-There are many examples throughout history: New York city, Jakarta, São Paulo city, Rio de Janeiro city, and many other cities used their colonial symbols until a new law dealing with the subject was created. Some even maintained their colonial symbols, like New York and Rio. That´s a heraldry principle.  4-What we can do is to put a tag or something saying ``MAYBE STILL IN USE``. If there is no newer law dealing with the symbols of Dili, YES THEY ARE VALID NOWADAYS, as strange as it can be.  5-If they belong to the colonial times, why we have a photo of 1991 with Ramos Horta holding the flag of an occupied territory, that is struggling with invasion and doesn´t want to be a colony again?  `
