MOS:FLAG
Please do not add country flags against players in sports articles, as a general article this is prohibited by MOS:FLAG. This means if the player is not representing a country, then don't use the flag. Also if a flag is used it must be accompanied by a name. In most sporting circles, the flags against players are a policy violation and shouldn't be used. Thanks. Canterbury Tail talk 12:27, 21 April 2019 (UTC)


 * You are continuing to add flag icons into articles in violation of MOS:FLAG. This is a policy violation, stop adding in country flag icons when the player does not represent the country in an official capacity. Canterbury Tail talk 19:38, 29 August 2019 (UTC)

Re. flags talk, this is common practice for ice hockey players. Look at any team's Wikipedia page and is the standard template used for the EIHL. I'm following official protocol.


 * Unfortunately convention and general agreement is that unless a person is officially representing a country then flags should not be used, per MOS:FLAG which is a guideline subset of Wikipedia policy. Similarly unless a club is representing the country then flags should not be used. ON some sports articles these are fine as the players/clubs are representing those countries, i.e. World Cup football related articles, Olympic and world sporting events etc. However in general teams they should not be used due to this violation.

 * However saying that I do see that there is continuous use of these flags throughout articles. With that being said, since it's commonplace fair enough unless I can see a ruling against it. Seems like it is commonly accepted practice, and the Wikiproject notes on this are there, but confusing as heck. Since the inclusion of the flags are to represent the person's country of citizenship they would need a reference as that could be contentious, as per normal Wikipedia rules, and would also need to conform to WP:BLP.
