The Turkish flag had been included by whoever had created the page, and since I had only changed the validation status, the old flag remained on the page. Not just for this case, it's problematic that these Infoboxes are not editable. Actually, if you check the edit history, there was no flag until you added the Infobox. When I removed a part of the Infobox code, the flag disappeared, but it also broke the Infobox. I don't like this kind of "mousetrap" where you can't get the cheese without the "trap". Let's see if we can work to change the way the Infoboxes are structured to allow editability. I mean, suppose a Jewish person were born in Germany in the 1930s, they would be offended with a National Socialist flag on their article. Place of birth is not always the same as nationality, either. A person could be born while the family was travelling; maybe as a child of diplomats, etc.
