Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Ajaccio

Scholarship please
I'd like to see more scholarship on this please. For example, the Phocians were gone lock stock and barrel long before Christianity. See Aleria on that one. These old encyclopedias are like old wine not quite properly aged; you can't really trust any given bottle; maybe you will get lucky, maybe not. On this one I would say, not.Dave (talk) 13:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

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." [Ajaccio was not part of France for many centuries, the Republic of Genoa, the Republic of Pisa, and then it belonged to the Kings of France (whose flag was a large golden fleur-de-lys on a white background), and for a time to the Empire of Napoleon I, and the Empire of Napoleon III, not to the French Republic. The diocese was not an integral part of the political structure of the French state].
 * "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 [which includes details about individual bishops, some of whom were Italian]. 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."
