Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Auch

Flag icon removed

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. [Auch was not part of France for many centuries, and then it belonged to the Dukes of Aquitaine, the Kings of England, the Kings of Navarre, and Kings of France (whose flag was a large golden fleur-de-lys on a white background), not to the French Republic. The diocese was not an integral part of the political structure of the French state, except for the decade of the French Revolution.].
• Do not rewrite history. Flags should not be used to misrepresent the nationality of a historical figure, 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.

Vicar-General of Auch

I am researching the Douglas family in France in the 18thC, and note the following: Rev. Peter Valentine de Douglas, Deputy to the General Assembly of the French Clergy 1762, and afterwards Archdeacon and Vicar-General of Auch. (Source unknown per temp) I am not au fait with the French clergy, but how does a Vicar-General fit in here? I note references to others amongst the sources. Shipsview (talk) 19:59, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
