From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Wikipedia is not a place for nationalistic pride. Flags are visually striking, and placing a national flag next to something can make its nationality or location seem to be of greater significance than other things."
"Flag and other icons are commonly misused as decoration. Adding a country's flag next to its name does not provide additional encyclopedic information, and is often simply distracting."
Hope that helps. Pandacomics (talk) 16:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
