Removed flag of Republic of Italy

[edit]

I removed the Italian Republic flag (of 1946) icon from the Infobox, in accordance with several sections of WP:ICON; specifically (quoting),

  • "Generally, flag icons should not be used in infoboxes, even when there is a "country", "nationality" or equivalent field: they are unnecessarily distracting and give undue prominence to one field among many...."
  • "Flags make simple, blunt statements about nationality, while words can express the facts with more complexity." [Alba Pompeia was for many centuries part of the Lombard Kingdom, of the German Empire, of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Cisalpine Republic, and under the domination of the French and the Spanish. The Italian flag used was that of the Republic of Italy, not created until 1946]....
  • "Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops, who came from several jurisdictions], event, object, etc. Political boundaries change, often over the span of a biographical article subject's lifetime. Where ambiguity or confusion could result, it is better not to use a flag at all, and where one is genuinely needed, use the historically accurate flag."

Section on Parishes

[edit]

(1) Individual items are not referenced; the general reference offered for the list leads to a web page which says "Indirizzo errato", 'erroneous link'; at the moment, then, the Section is unreferenced. (2) Wiki-links are to Italian communes, not to parishes, and the communes do not mention parishes; (3) doubtful purpose for the list, which section does not make clear. Is the list notable? Simply because it exists and can be cut-and-pasted, does not make it notable. The list should probably be deleted, unless the problems mentioned can be addressed.

Still no objection or comment as of 6 August 2018.
