Talk:Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bourges

Honoratus of Bourges...

...if he presided over the Council of Clermont (535), cannot be the same as Honoratus of Arles, since the latter died 429.

Removed flag of French Republic from Infobox, per WP:ICON.

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. [Bourges existed before there was a France, then was Frankish, Merovingian, and Carolingian, but then it was part of the realm of the Kings of France (whose flag was a large golden fleur-de-lys on a white background; it was part of the empires of Napoleonic First and Third), not the French 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.
