[edit] Defaced

Is "defaced with one variant" really the correct wording? Doodle77 22:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, "defaced" is the technical term used in heraldry and vexillology, and in that jargon it doesn't have a negative connotation. However, it might be better to use another term here because it always throws the general reader off. How does "charged in the centre with" sound? It's technically precise and, I think, more understandable to non-specialists. Indefatigable 19:05, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sprig not spring

From the article: "The bottom of the standard contains a spring of three red maple leaves" That should read "sprig" not "spring." I'll leave it to the original author to make the change.

[edit] Harp on image

The harp on the SVG image is incorrect. As can be seen here, the harp no longer has a human figure on it. --Ibagli (Talk) 17:45, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, it might be right. Somewhere I have a video with it in it that I can check. --Ibagli (Talk) 17:49, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The image is indeed wrong. The human figured harp is not on the flag used by the Queen in 2005 in Saskatchewan. --Ibagli (Talk) 23:22, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
