Especially the flags of course. A USA flag (example) in place of birth, one
in place of death, one in nationality of spouse etc. :) Then of course we do
the same with the flag of the state. Born in Arkansas (Arkansas flag), died
in Alabama (Alabama flag).

Can't people read the article anymore that they need everything spelled out
with pictures in an infobox?
