Heraldry has been nominated to be improved by Wikipedia:This week's improvement drive. Vote for this article there if you want to contribute. -- Fenice 19:56, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
Who the heck is that last description for, and is there an image of it somewhere? -- Carnildo 07:53, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
We need an image for each description.
Update: mystery blazons with no image removed:
Gdansk shield with no blazon also removed: Image:PB Gdańsk CoA.png
The last part about the escutcheon (overall an escutcheon tierced in pale a lion rampant Gules crowned Or, Gules a fess Argent and Or on a bend Gules three allerions Argent) is the central shield in Austria Hungary, so I removed it from the blazon so the blazon now describes the image shown.
Oh, finally: Arms of Hungary! Time for a cup of tea... ::Supergolden:: 09:08, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Probably should remove the stub categories -- it's not as compendious as it could be, but it seems beyond a stub. AnonMoos 03:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Is it just me, or is the first picture on this page sable, a bend or, when it has the caption azure, a bend or? That is an embarrassment.
What does this mean? (emphasis added)
French terms are not used in German blazon — so the "globe" excludes Germany? — Tamfang 06:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Before, no picture was showing, only the caption. When I took out the 120px parameter, it displays properly. But now, it's a big honking picture and is out of proportion to the others in the article. Any help would be appreciated. :) — MrDolomite | Talk 22:23, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
The French-speaking blazon project has been entirely revised, the creation of blazons is now vectorial. A start guide for newcomers has been created and many new charges, ordinaries and surrounding elements have enriched the already existing base, in order to give to the most what is necessary for a simplified creation of free blazons. Thus, don't hesitate to participate, you'll see it's easy and fun to do. What we particularly need is draftsmen for charges creating. See more details on the welcome page of the project. Amically, the French-speaking blazon project team.
I undid the edit by Denelson83 who reasonably asked, "Aren't each tincture and metal only mentioned by value exactly once in each blazon?" The answer is that the stylistic avoidance of repetition is applied only within each component coat, not to a marshalled coat as a whole. — Tamfang 17:59, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I happened on the article for Ansfelden via reading about the composer Bruckner (ain't WP a great time-waster?) and noticed a description of a CoA. I thought I'd have a go at blazoning it for them from the image on the town's website. I'd appreciate it if an expert could cast an eye over it for me. It's on the articles Discussion page. Replies to me or on the articles talk page. Thanks in advance. JustJimWillDo ( talk) 07:17, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
In the long description of the Arms of Hungary I noticed what seemed to be a typo: "in the chief a demi-eagle able displayed addextré of the sun in splendour" since the eagle is not described as black, I assumed able was supposed to be sable. If I am mistaken, by all means, revert! Fëaluinix ( talk) 13:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
This is somewhat trivial but I was wondering how to describe the heraldry used in Lord of the Rings by Aragorn. Essentially it's black, with a white tree, an arc of seven five-pointed stars over the tree, and a tall helm above the stars. I was thinking something like "Sable a white tree proper below seven mullets argent a helm" - but I'm sure it can be done better. (The "white tree" is an actual tree in Lord of the Rings so it's akin to "oak tree proper") 203.217.150.68 ( talk) 08:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
Smells like a just-so story to me, even if it is cited to the EB! — Tamfang ( talk) 18:23, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
User:Ludger1961 changed Quarterly argent and gules to quarterly Argent and Gules and so on. I'm inclined to simply revert, but let's discuss. In most books I've seen, only the first word of a blazon is capitalized. I believe English grants capitalise all words except grammatical particles (of, and, &c); does anyone prefer to imitate that? — Tamfang ( talk) 19:09, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
where is the bordure listed in a blazon? 98.206.155.53 ( talk) 23:04, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Forgive me if it's not appropriate to ask questions like this here, but what software was used to render the coats of arms seen on this and related pages? They look very nice. Squaregear ( talk) 14:11, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Hex ( talk · contribs) changed See also by removing Flag terminology and adding Achievement (heraldry), Charge (heraldry), Escutcheon (heraldry), Ordinary (heraldry). The last three are linked (some more than once) in the body of the article, and so are redundant here. I question the relevance of Achievement (heraldry). So I simply undid. Hex, do you wish to discuss? — Tamfang ( talk) 00:08, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
The blazon quoted for the Arms of Hungary includes "enté en point Gules a double-headed Eagle proper on a Peninsula Vert ...". But the peninsula is not shown vert. I don't know which is wrong, so I won't try to correct it. Maproom ( talk) 08:40, 10 April 2017 (UTC)
