Flag   Would anybody mind awfully if I took the flag down I recently removed the Union Jack from The Clash and I think the same argument I used there applies here as well Flags seem more appropriate on say national football teams and the like U are a national symbol of Ireland but I do not see them as being particularly nationalistic indeed they are internationalists   good idea lower the flag please   Done it    Yes I actually DO mind and Im putting the flag back up It seems pretty dumb to say the least to take the flags off of the Clashs and Us whilst leaving these high profile bandss infoboxes with their flag                    Regards    Well done for listing all those examples but theres the small matter that we dont use Wikipedia itself as a reference point      Snow patrol also has the flag  If you where truly interested you would take that flag off seeing how its controversial in its own country and not even official with half the population pretty much hating it   it is obviously some kind of wikipolicy to place flagicons in the infoboxes with famous bands ATM I have seen no realvalid reasons as to why the flag should be removed The reason why it should be up there is to illustrate the bands origins in an aesthetic way That is why it is obviously done at ALL the other bands    I cannot find any such policy and I dont find it aesthetic On the other hand I did find WPFLAG Furthermore your edit seems to be against consensus    So Bono The Edge Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr all can have flags on their pages but U cant Are you going to remove all the flags of all the famous bands pages or are you just going to keep doing it at U    You speak of consensus yet on ALL the other prolific bands pages there is the obvious consensus of the flags being there As to calling you dumb that was not my intent and I apologise it just struck me as a weird idea    indeed they are internationalists That doesnt say a whole lot RHCP see themselves as Californians yet you dont see the bear in their infobox right    Im not talking about RHCPs flag here but about whether this article on U should have one The state of one article should not influence the state of another unless a policy or guideline exists to point in a particular direction Im not convinced that is the case here Wikipedia shouldnt be selfreferential or operate on precedent but on consensus formed by discussion See also this   hear hear  we are not talking about any other article As i said in my removal precedence the worst justification for anything Yes you are correct  peoples support for removing something from this article doesnt mean they are interested in removing it from others nor is their any obligation to do so    You honestly believe that is worthy of an encyclopdia Do you know the term uniformity and what it means for Wikipedia   Believe what is
