message: In the article is written «After marrying a South African, he became a South African citizen». When did it happen?--Unikalinho (talk) 02:54, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Late '66 early '67 the tournaments started saying he was South African rather than Australian. I have noted as such in the article. Thanks. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:26, 25 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Australian or South African? 

message: Why is the old South African Flag used on this page? I don't see any good reason for it being used. I would have changed it if I could, but I don't know how. Can someone change it please? 196.42.111.148 (talk) 14:39 18 May 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, I also noticed that, and fixed it. Autumnox (talk) 06:57, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The flags used are to show his sporting nationality at the time he played tennis (why he is notable in the first place). It's not his citizenship or passport flag. That is the official flag used from 1928–1994 and he played from the late 60's to the early 80's. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

text: And I've put it back to its proper state. That flag in the infobox is ONLY for his sports playing nationality.... nothing else. His birthplace and residence can be listed, but not with a flag per wikipedia MoS. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:15, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Goodness, that's a quick dispute but whatever. You have to remember that it has everything to do with sports. The only reason this guy is here is because he played tennis. If it is decided that for this one player that his international country is not the old flag he played under then he is not allowed a flag per MoS... only the words. he is allowed the Australian flag.

text: The flag does represent nationality... but it's playing nationality. Actually country. I do agree it could be worded as such for more clarity. I suspect it was simply shortened to country in all tennis players to better fit in the infobox and not overlap lines. As to what's usual, that depends. If there is a flag in any infobox bio on wikipedia it is for sports nationality. Normal bios never have flags in the infobox... they just have a name. If you mean outside of wikipedia, then you are probably correct. Fyunck(click) (talk) 09:21, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
