Removed flag of Italian Republic, per [WP:ICON]
editI 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. [Catania was for many centuries part of the German Empire, the Duchy of Savoy, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, 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], 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."
List of Parishes: Notability
editProblems with this section:
- (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; the article is not a directory to communes in the Piedmont;
- (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.
I note that the diocese of Cuneo has a complete list of the parishes in the diocese. Why duplicate it, especially if notability is an issue?
