| Hee, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've played with the dynabars code a bit at work (''intranet, no direct link, sorry. :('' ) and the new version is quite a bit faster, though quite honestly I haven't used it terribly much. The big improvement that I've noticed is in the responsiveness (my work machine is sloooow!), though quite honestly I haven't used many dynamic bars on one page. Have you considered writing a "loading test" page where we could time tweaks to the code? Just some thoughts. :) | |||

| OK, trying to look at what confuses me: perhaps it's just all the terminology I've never heard, that makes it hard to digest a paragraph in the middle of the article, which is what I typically do to see if I feel like an article has prose problems. When I go to any section in the middle, I'm lost, because I don't have the terminology. So, starting at the top (take my comments for what they're worth - I'm not a prose person :-): | |||
| :''] '' | |||
| Dear Wikimedian, | |||
| *''most formalized within the Roman Catholic Church where every bishop including the Pope is permitted a personal coat of arms.'' | |||
| **Should there be a comma after Catholic Church? | |||
| *''Analogous customs are followed '' | |||
| **Is there any reason not to just say "similar customs" (for us Heraldry Dummies 101 who are already overwhelmed with all the new terminology)? | |||
| *''The mitre and crozier is common on institutional arms.'' | |||
| **Should that "is" be "are"? | |||
| *''Until 1960, the composition of the shield itself was regulated and registered with the Heraldry Commission of the Roman Curia, but after this office was abolished by Pope John XXIII, shield design has had no official guidance.'' | |||
| **Should that be "but since this office was ... " ? | |||
| All in all, I'm not good at analyzing prose: I just have a hard time getting through the article, but it may be more because it presents so much new terminology for me, and less a matter of the actual prose. Have you asked Tony to have a look? If you get JKelly on board with the images, let me know, so I can support. ] 20:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

| === Coats of Arms === | |||
| This is actually something of a complicated pain, but your expertise in the area will help quite a bit. There are two potential copyrights involved with every coat of arms (and we get this wrong all the time). The first is the design of the arms (the ]). The design can be copyrighted (and, incidentally, trademarked and subject to all sorts of other restrictions which we largely pretend do not exist). You're probably dealing with old enough designs that this is not a concern, but it would be best to know who created what design when. Secondly, there is enough creative content in a rendition of that design for a new ] copyright to be claimed by the person who actually "drew" that representation. These should be drawn by Wikipedians, or someone else willing to release their rendition under a free license, per ] #1. In short, you need to show that a) the design is free and b) this individual drawing of it is free. It is easy for us to claim ] on the design, but there's no excuse for us taking someone else's drawing. ] 01:31, 12 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

If you look over ] right now you will see at least one other one that I've mentioned images being ]. If not quite a daily occurance, it is definitely a regular one. The comment of mine that you linked to shouldn't be taken personally; the intent wasn't to slight the work that you've put in, and coat of arms images are a lot trickier than most of the other images we deal with. I hope you'll accept this apology for what could easily be read as my being dismissive. To answer the other question, scanning your own work would be great. There exists software that helps with coat of arms design and creation, but I cannot recall the name of it. You could also take a look at ] and see who has done good work.
