Much of the content here has been moved from the file Image:Coabxvi.png. Although I have an interest in this topic, I am not well versed in heraldry. If you are, please feel free to correct any errors I may have made. --Eoghanacht 17:42, 2005 Jun 8 (UTC)
Britannic emphasis problematic
We could usefully re-phrase certain sections so that the article doesn't seem to comment upon or describe the arms from a British standpoint. Continental conventions differ from the British ones. (I say this from the standpoint of an academic background and continuing research in heraldry.) The disadvantage to be wary of is if the article ends up unintelligible or misleading to readers who might be reading it with British backgrounds. --69.143.11.35 13:45, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Give it your best shot! One of the hardest things about writing is keeping a topic relevant to multiple readers. Just ask yourself, will a middle school student, a college educated middle-ager, and an experienced herald all find the revised article (at least different parts of it) interesting and informative. --Eoghanacht 15:57, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
Compromise?
Where does this information about the camelaucum and it's coat of arms come from? I could find no other information whatsoever about it anywhere on the web. It would seem that someone just drew it up and put it on the page. I would like to be proven wrong, as the idea intrests me, but I suggest it be taken down until further proof of the idea's veracity can be shown.
- Found it on the American Heraldry Soc. discussion page, see "References" or follow this link . --Eoghanacht 13:53, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
Fact versus Speculation
Is it right for a topic to mix facts with speculations and proposals?
I believe the page should be oriented firstly to describe the COA, them to discuss it.
