Talk:Roman Catholic Diocese of Aversa

Removed flag of Italian Republic from Infobox, per WP:ICON
I 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." [Aversa has been part of the Savoyard Kingdom of Italy, the French Kingdom of Italy of Napoleon, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Kingdom of Naples of the Angevins, the Kingdom of Naples of the Aragonese. The Italian flag removed 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." [Since a diocese is part of the Roman Catholic Church, and since there is separation of Church and State in Italy, if any flag is to be used, perhaps the Flag of the Holy See would be more appropriate].
