[edit] Common charges
You can't use the phrase "common charges" in this way as "common charges" has a specific meaning in heraldry. It doesn't mean, charges that commonly appear. It means charges that aren't ordinaries, diminutives, or subordinaries. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:54, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] links improvements
Links to www.national.archsrch.gov.za are useless because they expire rapidly. Try to get the true address of the page found.
The sentence about exceptions to "default human is European" linked to a page of Scottish thumbnails; guessing that it meant the two coats that have men of four colors rowing galleys, I linked those two explicitly.
Zianno di Fiemme: old link was to a page, now gone, on the town's website; I replaced it with ICH's entry, though that unfortunately has no annotation.
Only subscribers can see the actual blazons at Kuruvinda, so such links (Braunjohan, Boul) are inappropriate for a free reference. Ditto the forum of the Heraldry Society of Scotland.
Does the USAF have anything corresponding to the Army Heraldry Institute? I'm finding dead links and making do with pages that have thumbnails of the devices in question.
In other news, I removed the section "Common charges" and promoted its subsections; it's silly to have one short section and one long section containing everything else. —Tamfang 22:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Please cite the content rather than the framing page. If I knew the French for cocoon, would I be able to find it on gaso.fr? —Tamfang 06:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[1] gives a 403 error. —Tamfang 20:33, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

The link given for Mont-Dore is in fact that for Terre-de-Haut (cited elsewhere): someone pasted the wrong thing. —Tamfang 06:28, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Muisca design
here: should this be included under list of heraldic charges or patterns of the field? --Daniel C. Boyer 19:41, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- It appears to fill the whole field, without adjusting for the shape of the field, so I'd call it a pattern. —Tamfang 22:35, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Attitudes of humans and animals
Might be split off from either this page or Charge (heraldry) so the size of either could be reduced and this could be developed in detail. --Daniel C. Boyer 21:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Coffee
Should be listed under trees as in heraldry coffee is considered to grow on trees. As a subcategory the branches of the "tree" and its seeds should be considered. --Daniel C. Boyer 21:45, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures
I am stunned by the number of pictures in this article. It has one. There ought to be dozens. To start with there should be one comparing fusil, mascle, and rustre. An article like this without pictures is just tedious. — Randall Bart Talk 21:40, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
