Lacking in verification

[edit]

Most of the material in the history section is without verification. It is questionable whether most of the names of the monks from Clermont are notable; they are certainly unsourced, and liable to deletion. The famous bishops section is also without verification, and really those names should be folded into the list of bishops with footnotes or wiki-links as to their accomplishments. No need for double dipping. --Vicedomino (talk) 08:56, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed flag of French Republic from Infobox, per WP:ICON.

[edit]

I removed the French Republic flag 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."
  • "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."
