[edit] Ernie Whitt's nationality

Um, so what is Ernie Whitt's nationality? My edit was reverted (and I later saw another's was earlier) but his page says he is an American citizen. Does someone have a reliable source that he has gained Canadian citizenship? --Oeuftete88 21:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know what citizenship he has, but that's not noteworthy. The flag should indicate the player's nationality, not citizenship. He was born in Detroit, Michigan, but I know that doesn't mean anything. I would have to say that he should have the American flag next to his name. Ksy92003(talk) 21:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

So... dare I change it back? I'm not interested into having to get into a dispute just to change the info, but I think making the little flag American would be correct. --Oeuftete88 11:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I seem to recall reading somewhere that he has dual citizenship. Personally, I don't really see the point of the flags anyway. If they're supposed to represent what nationality a player identifies with, I doubt that most WP editors necessarily have access to this type of personal information. It's not the type of thing that will routinely come up in a published interview, particularly in a case like Whitt. --Sanfranman59 22:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
