I wonder if it would be worth mentioning on this page about "sight blazoning" (a WP editor writing a blazon based upon an image, rather than translating a written blazon from one language to another), as to whether or not it is accepted practice on Wikipedia. My sense is that it is not accepted practice (with exception for demo shields, which do not concern the arms of [someone]), as this could be considered a form of WP:OR and would likely lead to a proliferation of inaccurate but authoritative-sounding blazons throughout Wikipedia's articles. Blazons (of the arms of [someone]) appearing in Wikipedia's articles should have a reliable source, and should not just be "made up" by editors, but is this within the scope of this style guide?

Could the term "Blazon" first be defined, before discussing what and how to deal with it, them? HalFonts ( talk) 05:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
Please note that this page has been nominated to be
consolidated with the primary
Manual of Style page. Please join the discussion at the MOS talk page in order to discus the possibility of merging this page with the MOS. Thank you.
