Line 325:
:I probably should have pointed out the guidelines for flags earlier but forgot; [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(icons)#Biographical use]] and [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(icons)#Use_of_flags_for_sportspeople]]. Also, found [http://www.sportsline.com/mma/story/11161012 this interview] where they write: ''Escudero is proud of his Mexican heritage, [...] "It gives me great pleasure to represent my country", Escudero says''. You must remember nationality is separate from citizenship, and the flag could represent both. If Escudero specifically makes it clear he represents Mexico and considers himself a Mexican, that should be taken into consideration. Although, if we can't reach a consensus, the best solution might be to leave the flag out completely. Edit: Or, after seeing your flag, maybe you're on to something there! Would definitely like to hear what the others think. --[[User:aktsu|<font color="black"><b>aktsu</b></font>]] <sup>([[User talk:aktsu|t]] / [[Special:Contributions/Aktsu|c]])</sup> 22:18, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
:You know, thinking more about it I really don't know... Arguments can be made either way, and there's really no right and wrong when it comes to nationality. Who are we to say he's American when he considers himself Mexian, then again he ''have'' lived almost his entire life in the USA. I really like EHDI5YS's flag so maybe that's a good compromise. Another solution would be to actually follow the [[MOS:FLAG]] guideline and remove ''all'' the flags, but that's not going to happen... --[[User:aktsu|<font color="black"><b>aktsu</b></font>]] <sup>([[User talk:aktsu|t]] / [[Special:Contributions/Aktsu|c]])</sup> 22:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I really feel that I wasted a lot of time over a flag, I just want to move forward in supporting the sport. So the point of all this is I'm out really don't care, all the naysayers have won! Efrain is immigrated American citizen, who is a born Mexican national. Good day all! It was fun having the battle of wits with those who competed on respectful level.
