[edit] Image

If there are no objections, we should be removing the flag from this template, and replacing it with some other image. Not only is the flag not appropriate for pre-1947 people, the fact that many people that should be covered by this template belonged to regions not in the current republic, and thus never represented by its flag. For examples of what I mean, see Template:China-bio-stub and Template:Korea-bio-stub. The flag could be replaced by a historical personality. For example,

A sugestion: can we have an image of the Ashoka Pillar instead of Buddha. Ashoka Pillar is an internationally recognised symbol of India and Indian culture both in modern and historic sense.--Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 05:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC) Actually, I wanted to put this on some other place --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 05:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Im okay with either of the two proposed by deeptrivia. Additional images I propose for consideraton: Ashoka or Akbar. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 05:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Both Ashoka and Akbar are good options. I considered them, but didn't end up suggesting them because Ashoka's picture is modern guesswork, and the Akbar painting wasn't clear in small size. But in general, any change from the current flag will be in the right direction. deeptrivia (talk) 05:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
