Talk:Gallery of country coats of arms/Archive 2005

Repitition
Some of the lists repeat. It goes from A-G and then back to A again and so forth. Can somebody who knows what they're doing fix it?

Matching
Do you think the list here should match what is listed at List of national flags and Gallery of national flags? Zscout370 (talk) 18:57, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Link of individual articles
This article should provide links to the individual CoA articles, like Federal Coat of Arms of Germany or Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom. --Jiang 08:40, 6 May 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm planning to do this. Curently in the process of making uniform redirects -- Obradovi&#263; Goran ( t al k  9 July 2005 19:12 (UTC)

Taiwan
We should link to Taiwan because the picture posted here is the National Emblem of the Republic of China, not the National Emblem of Taiwan. No one calls it the "National Emblem of Taiwan" in Chinese. Linking to Taiwan will confuse people since the political entity from which this emblem arises is not the subject of the Taiwan article. --Jiang 22:35, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

England, Scotland and Wales
Not sure whether theses should be in the list, I added England and Wales as Scotland was here. Maybe sublists for subnational entities is required as on the list of national flags--Kurando 09:01, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Moving everything to gallery and deleting Palau note
I moved everything into gallery format because the old table looked really badly ugly. Want to keep table - revert. And I was also forced to delete a note about Palau. There is no file for their COA, there was just a link to outside website that showed something similar to the COA (full message: Palau This is the Exectutive Seal, but is close in form to the National Arms).

Links to commons:National insignia
There should be an effort here to improve the organisation of Wikipedia by trying to use some standardization and also to provide better multilingual resources. I would suggest to replace all the links in this table with those to National insignia. I suppose that some more cleanup would be necessary e.g. regarding infoboxes in coutry articles etc. Andreas 18:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Differences with commons:National insignia
I think we should use the same image files as in National insignia. I have compiled three lists that show the differences between these two data bases until now. A very sensible thing would be to delete this article (as well as the corresponding flag article) and create a mirror to the commons:National insignia article and make all changes there, so that there would be much less hassle to maintainance.

 * Nope, commons is not a place for any sort of articles. It's like a central place to store images. It's a good idea to replace images on this page with the images from commons and delete these ones. But surely not deleting this article. Renata3 21:12, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Coa in commons but not here
These are not sovereign states and don't belong here, nor in commons. Andreas 01:04, 26 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Image:Aruba coa large.jpg|Coat of arms of Aruba
 * Image:Coat of arms of British Virgin Islands.png|Coat of arms of British Virgin Islands
 * Image:Falkland Islands coat of arms (British).png|Coat of arms of the Falkland Islands
 * Image:Vedrur.png|Coat of Arms of the Faroes
 * Image:Guam COA.png|Coat of arms of Guam


 * This was because the list was ill-defined as "national" coats of arms. As you've made into it sovereign states only I have created a sub-list for UK overseas territories. --K URANDO 11:54, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Coa here but not in commons
Note: there seems to be copyright problems when moving these to commons. see the discussion page of National insignia.
