On the band page of every band from the United Arab Emirate there are these disclaimers:

Even though the band currently resides in the United Arab Emirates, at least the majority of the band members are not Emirati.
Even though the band currently resides in the United Arab Emirates, at least some of the band members are not Emirati.
Even though the band currently resides in the United Arab Emirates, none of the band members is Emirati.

Is that an official M-A policy? Does it matter? Should the specific nationalities of all members be pointed out in bands from other countries? All members of Opeth are not Swedish?

Looking into it currently. Will let you know.

Edit: ok seems like it was done by a specific user in the past with. There is no policy for this and I'll be removing the, redundant, information.

Was it written before v2? Nowadays the nationalities of individual band members can be easily found on their artist pages, but in v1 you couldn't.

Nah, they were done in v2. In any case, this has been resolved.
