WP:FLAGBIO
Hi. The edits you're making violate an absolutely crystal clear element of the wikipedia Manual of Style, which I'm guessing you may not know about. Would you please revert the edits? Here's the relevant portion: Do not use flags to indicate locations of birth, residence, or death Flag icons should never be used to indicate a person's place of birth, residence, or death, as flags imply citizenship and/or nationality. Many people born abroad due to traveling parents never become citizens of the countries in which they were born and do not claim such a nationality. For example, actor Bruce Willis was born on a U.S. military base in Germany, so putting a German flag in his infobox, for any reason, might lead the casual reader to assume he is or was a German citizen. Similarly, many people die on foreign soil due to war, vacation accidents, etc., and many people emigrate, without any effect on their actual citizenship or nationality.
