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

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

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." [The government of France twice repudiated the diocese of Nevers, when it abolished Religion in 1794, and when it legislated the separation of Church and State in 1905. The diocese is part of the Roman Catholic Church, not part of the administrative structure of 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." [Since a diocese is part of the Roman Catholic Church, and since there is separation of Church and State in France, if any flag is to be used, perhaps the Flag of the Holy See would be more appropriate].
