Hi Mr. Young,

The code lines for infoboxes can be found in separate templates ("status" in the infobox). Here are some of our most-used templates:

Template:living-verified

Template:living-pending (Applicable to Mrs. Mirigian)

Template:living-unverified

Template:deceased-verified

Template:deceased-pending

Template:deceased-unverified (Applicable to Mr. Anooshian)

Template:deceased-centenarian (Applicable to Mr. Mirzoyan)

You won't see any text when you visit these pages. The source code only appears when you select "Edit."

Once you're in "Edit" mode, you'll see lines of code that look like this:


 * Vartan Anooshian=Vartan Anooshian=M=13 February 1894=22 May 2004=110 years, 99 days=🇹🇷🇺🇸

In Mr. Anooshian's case, I changed 🇹🇷 to 🇦🇲 - this is what changes the flag in the infobox. It's a pretty weird system - I'm definitely not a coder, so I don't know the rationale behind it. It's certainly counterintuitive.

I hope this was a helpful explanation. Thank you for your years of diligent work in this field, and congratulations on the GRG/AAA report!
