and no one said we don't appreciate the input of non-admin users. We took the opinions into account, reflected and took a decision. On a technical level, the infobox represents definite legal information. Like you would have in a government file. And as far as the government goes, the only thing they care about on that level is whether your're legally married or not. Hence the decision to stick with marital status.

As far as keeping track of private relations is concerned: it makes more sense to put that in its own section of a character's history. Does a character have an ongoing relation over several years that has had a serious influence on his narrative development? well then, it certainly deserves more than a category mention. However, a single one night fling does not mean a charater is involved in a relation. Seriously - Domino was put into the dating category. Now Domino might be considered as dating by some, the only question is: how many. We're not facebook and we're not ready to have "it's complicated" as a relationship status.

as for your classification of "best users": if you show me afool-proof system for defining our best users, I'll be the first to propose them for admin status. ;)
