Archdiocese?

[edit]

How can one archdiocese be a suffragan of another? Isn't Aix a diocese and not an archdiocese? Rwflammang 17:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed flag of French Republic, per [WP:ICON]; see TALK page.

[edit]

I removed the French Republic flag 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." [Saint-Brieuc was for many centuries part of the independent County of Provence, of the Kingdom of France, and of the Empire of Napoleon I. The flags were quite different from the flag of the Republic]....
  • "Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure [including some bishops], 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."
