Why exactly does it say "dexter" after mentioning that it is looking to its left. I know dexter means right-hand (ambidexterity), but how is this suggesting its point? Hobapotter (talk) 22:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Pedestal"
Actually, I think the eagle holds a scroll (instead of standing on a pedestal). AnonMoos 22:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Jumhuriya vs. Gumhuriya
Jumhuriya is more standard Arabic, but Gumhuriya could be considered more authentically Egyptian... AnonMoos (talk) 17:25, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Heraldic blazon"
In traditional European heraldry, the eagle would actually be considered a supporter. However, blazoning it the way it's currently done in the article, the word "escutcheon" should probably be used in place of "shield". Not sure this section really adds very much to the article.
