message: There have been some debate on some people nationality. 
First, Martin Mitchell has been said to come from the Cook Islands. There has been no reference for that. He is always said to be kiwi in the press.
Second, Zalduendo has had a Spanish nationality added. Here again there is no reference I know of in the press, while it is clear that he is French. I did not remove the additional Spanish flag at first, but then the French flag disappeared (?!). I think it is clearer to keep the French flag and not to have the Spanish without any proper reference. In any case, when people have several nationalities, it may make sense to keep the most relevant one. Here it is the article of a French club of Rugby League. The Spanish flag added, even if Zalduendo was to have a Spanish passport, is a bit irrelevant. In any case, it is never said anywhere in the press that he had a Spanish nationality.
Third, Carlos Mendes Varela, is born in Portugal and is Portughese. He arrived in France at 12 (he is now 24) and took the French nationality. He then chosed to play for the France A national team.http://www.to13.com/actualite-nl1/la-depeche-du-midi-toulouse-olympique-carlos-mendes-varela-et-la-%C2%AB-zen-attitude-%C2%BB.html Putting a Portugal flag only may give the impression that the team is more international, but it is not the best way to represent a player who is in France since 12, has the French nationality and plays for the French national team. I could consider having the Portugal flag added, but I don't like it because this would double the size of the flag column just for one player. I don't think it would be good visually. So I prefer to keep the French flag. The details of the player's nationality are on his own page.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpeilon (talk • contribs) 21:16, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The answer to this, in my personal opinion, is very simple. If it isn't referenced, and it concerns something as potentially offensive and contentious as nationality, remove it with haste. The solution from me is even more straight-forward: don't put national flags alongside player names in the first place. There's no need for the flags to be there within the context of the club (which is what the article is about), and the use of such flags in a non-sporting context is discouraged, thus making the flags redundant in both of the contexts you'll ever need to use for a sports person, although obviously this is reversed when talking about representative sporting teams. So in short, my advice is: just remove the flags. GW(talk) 14:46, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

text: The Championship may be different (I am not sure), but in Super League, quotas are not necessarily linked to nationality. Harrison Hansen is Samoan, but does not fall under Wigan Warriors limit because he was trained as a player in Salford. As I said before, if there is no good reason for a national flag to be placed in an article, it should not be there. When putting this into the context of a worldwide encyclopaedia, sportspeople alone do not constitute an exception to this rule. Since writing my last comment here, LunarLander has released a new template for squad lists:  (e.g. Catalans Dragons). You may wish to consider using this if there is a dispute over a player's nationality. GW(talk) 20:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the link Ginger. The nationality of the players is an important piece of information, and not just for the question of the quota (which is linked even if not systematically with the players nationality). So it is always valuable to have it, like in other major sports: Chelsea FC, Manchester United, Leicester Tigers. Gpeilon (talk) 02:22, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
