Flags and templates
[edit]Hi there! I see you are making a lot of edits that involve adding flags to biography articles. I wanted to let you know that flags generally shouldn't be used in infoboxes. In fact, nationality shouldn't be included at all when it can be inferred from birthplace. With that in mind, could you make some edits to your additions? Thanks, Nikkimaria (talk) 00:23, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for letting me know! I noticed there are many infoboxes that do have flags, and I emulated that, without being aware those were discouraged by the manual of style. I'll stop doing that from now on. I'll review previous edits, but this might take me a while . Whizkin (talk) 16:02, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
- PS: Your note about nationality not being included when it can be inferred from birthplace—point taken. Whizkin (talk) 16:03, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
