This was a project to add the arms of the towns, boroughs, cities, districts and counties of England and Wales to both the English Misplaced Pages and the Welsh Wicipedia (see the "other languages" link) where appropriate.

All the images came from the excellent civicheraldry.co.uk . I've contacted the webmaster of the site and he's happy for the pictures to be used as long as we give credit. He mentions that towns may occasionally object to the use of their civic arms on a website. (However, I consider this fair use in the same way that reproducing a corporate logo is fair use.)

The bot I used was Robbot, under the name of HeraldicBot.
