[edit] Last surviving

When it says that he had been one of the last surviving officers of arms at the Coronation more detail could be desired. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, this obituary in The Herald says that he was "the last survivor of the dozen English heralds who attended on the Queen at her Coronation in 1953" but he was not a member of the College of Arms at the time of the Coronation... -- ALoan (Talk) 19:25, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I found that interesting, as well. There were others involved in the coronation who are still working at the College today. For example, Sedley Andrus was not yet an officer of arms in 1953, but he was working at the College before World War II. He subsequently became a pursuivant and a herald and is still a herald extraordinary.--Evadb 08:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Failure awarded

• No fair use rationales on images
• References aren't properly formatted
• One references doesn't work

Thanks for the input. I think I've fixed the problems that you've mentioned. I've gone through and looked at the fair use rationale of the images and tried to get them up to snuff. I've also gone through and added in line citations in a proper format all through the piece. I think it helps a lot. Maybe we can try another evaluation?--Eva ^db 07:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Everything asked was fixed, the fair use rationale has been adjusted though considering nothing in public domain a that the man is dead is somewhat difficult to get hold of them pictures. I re-read the whole article and would consider an expansion in the Honours and appointments section to include people's criticism or views toward him. Lincher 00:57, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heraldists

If John Brooke-Little was an officer of arms is it necessary to categorize him as an heraldist as well?--Dave Boven 07:40, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
