For example: "<a href="/wiki/Kingston,_Jamaica" title="Kingston, Jamaica">Kingston</a>, <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_Jamaica" title="Colony of Jamaica">Colony of Jamaica</a>, British Empire" (the colonizing country typically sets citizenship rules).</li></ul></li> <li>Do not use for ethnicity or national identity.</li> <li>Citizenship or nationality can be noted if dual, naturalized, or an exception to the typical case.</li> <li>Be aware of <a href="/wiki/Citizenship" title="Citizenship">citizenship</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nationality_law" title="Nationality law">nationality laws</a> to avoid incorrect assumptions.</li> <li>Include an inline citation and use a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RS">reliable source</a>, especially for biographies of living people.</li> <li>Use a country name (e.g. "Cuba") or legal category linked to an explanatory article (e.g. "<a href="/wiki/British_Overseas_citizen" title="British Overseas citizen">British Overseas citizen</a>"), not a demonym (e.g. "Cuban" or "American"). Per <a href="/wiki/MOS:USA" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:USA">MOS:USA</a>, use "United States" or "U.S." or "US", not "USA".</li> <li>If citizenship rights vary by territory, specify the territory, e.g. "<a href="/wiki/British_Overseas_Territories_citizen" title="British Overseas Territories citizen">British Overseas Territories citizen</a> (<a href="/wiki/Bermuda" title="Bermuda">Bermuda</a>)".</li> <li>Denote non-citizen national status by explicitly naming the legal status, e.g. "citizenship=<a href="/wiki/British_subject" title="British subject">British subject</a> (<a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Bay" title="Massachusetts Bay">Massachusetts Bay</a>)" or "citizenship=<a href="/wiki/United_States_national" class="mw-redirect" title="United States national">United States national</a> (<a href="/wiki/American_Samoa" title="American Samoa">American Samoa</a>)"</li> <li>Do not omit previous values, and add very brief context to explain how or when a given status was acquired. For example: <ul><li>"United States (by birthplace), Switzerland (from parents)"</li> <li>"Germany (birth-1945), United States (since 1945)"</li></ul></li> <li>In complicated cases, omit from the infobox and explain in the article body.</li></ul> <p>If needed to indicate legal nationality, use "national of" rather than "nationality", to avoid confusion with ethnicity. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Education_in_infoboxes" data-mw-thread-id="h-Education_in_infoboxes-Using_infoboxes_in_articles"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Education_in_infoboxes-Using_infoboxes_in_articles"></span>Education in infoboxes<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Education_in_infoboxes-Using_infoboxes_in_articles"></span></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Infoboxes&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Education in infoboxes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1252059228"><div class="module-shortcutanchordiv"><span id="MOS:INFOEDU"></span></div><div class="module-shortcutboxplain noprint" role="note"><div class="module-shortcutlist"><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Shortcut" title="Wikipedia:Shortcut">Shortcut</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1126788409"><div class="plainlist"><ul><li><span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MOS:INFOEDU&redirect=no">MOS:INFOEDU</a></span></li></ul></div></div> <p>The <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|alma mater=</code> parameter is a more concise alternative to (not addition to) the <code class="tpl-para" style="word-break:break-word;">|education=</code> parameter, and will often consist of the linked name of the last-attended institution of higher education (not secondary schools).

The infobox is also often the location of the most significant, even only, image in an article.
