Talk:Bureau of Heraldry

Irish Genealogy & Heraldry Bill
This Bill is very interesting, but I don't grasp its relevance to an article which is specifically about the South African Bureau of Heraldry. -- Arthur R 17:29, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Grant or Registration
The Bureau of Heraldry does not "grant" arms. They register them as they are authorized to do. Just because it is similar to a grant in the English, Irish, or Scottish sense, that does not make them grants. --Boven 07:05, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Too much jargon
There is far too much unexplained jargon and technical terminology in this article for the general reader. Roger (talk) 20:13, 15 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Can you identify specific problem areas, so that I can work on them? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arthur R (talk • contribs) 15:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)


 * A few words: Armiger, blazons, and the entire description (well I think it is a description but I'm not really sure) of the Bureau's own arms is double gobbledygook. Where articles that explain the jargon already exist they should be wikilinked to the jargon word or if there is no such article a brief parenthetical explanation or definition will do.

 * You've fixed it nicely, thanks. Roger (talk) 19:28, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Bureau of Heraldry Coat of Arms
I note with interest that this article does not feature the Bureau of Heraldry of South Africa's coat of arms? Why is this? Occasionally I see the coat of arms of the South African government confused as the arms of the Bureau of Heraldry which is incorrect.

===== The arms are mentioned and described in the article. If anyone can make a decent image of them, it would certainly add to the page. Arthur R (talk) 18:42, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
