Where flags are used in a table, it should clearly indicate that the flags represent representative nationality, not legal nationality, if any confusion might arise." In other words if the person represents a country at a national competition then the flag icon is used. In the case of these wrestlers, they are not wrestling for their countries but only themselves, therefore the flag icons do not belong.

Flags in tables
As per your question on my talk page, the reason we don't put flags in the tables is because of the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style (MOS) which says here "Flags should never indicate the player's nationality in a non-sporting sense; flags should only indicate the sportsperson's national squad/team or representative nationality. Where flags are used in a table, it should clearly indicate that the flags represent representative nationality, not legal nationality, if any confusion might arise." In other words if the person represents a country at a national competition then the flag icon is used. In the case of these wrestlers, they are not wrestling for their countries but only themselves, therefore the flag icons do not belong. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 02:57, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
