Oscar II of Sweden
Oscar never held the title of Crown Prince of Sweden. His elder brother Carl XV had a son for a few years and was expected to have another. Oscar was heir and first in line (while Carl was without a son) but never Crown Prince. In Sweden, a crown Prince has always been the son of a king, never a brother. Please do not use the coronet of the Crown Prince in Oscar's coats of arms! Thx. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 08:59, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

You are correct, thank you. I see that you've already updated the page.--GlasshouseWP (talk) 23:10, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Actually, the images are correct, it's just the captions that were wrong. As you can see, the is different than the that is on the images of Oscar's arms.--GlasshouseWP (talk) 05:18, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
 * OK fine. Btw in English those items are normally called coronets, not crowns. Thx. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 07:19, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Checking one's own work
Hello again! There are a few typos and other easily visible errors in your recent work, and thought you might like to have a look rather than having others clean them up for you. I always try to have a careful look at the results of my intended edits before I save them. Recommend the "Show preview" button - it's a great help. Thanx! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 00:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

"Royal" monograms which actually are not
I see you are continuing with your good work. Thank you! We should be very careful not to claim that some simple monograms designed for books and such are not depicted at Commons or WP as official "Royal monograms". I strongly doubt, for example, that a sinple "V" like can have functioned as an official "Royal monogram" for a Queen of Sweden. Can you make some changes, please? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:17, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Found Birgitta
Somewhere through Google I found a correct coat of arms from the marriage of Princess Birgitta, but I do not have the source. Interested? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:04, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I realized that the incorrect coat of arms for Princess Birgitta is displayed, but her marital arms are being worked on and should be uploaded within the next several days. I'll make the substitution as soon as they're posted.--GlasshouseWP (talk) 03:41, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

Coat of Arms
Is it more accurate to state that a coat of arms "inherited" from a U.S. person's European ancestor or family is that person's coat of arms or should it be described as that person's ancestral or family coat of arms? I pose the question because I think it would be the latter. (The so-called "nobility clause" of Article I, section 9 of the U.S. constitution would not seem to be definitive since it appears to me that the wording is not a blanket prohibition against claiming or displaying ancestral or made-up coats of arms without the titles or privileges.) You obviously are more familiar with this topic, so I will not claim my unsourced opinion is the right one but I leave this for your consideration, especially with regard to the wording of captions. Donner60 (talk) 05:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I'm not going to claim to be an expert, but my assumption would be that it would be more appropriate to refer to inherited arms as being your "ancestral" or "family" coat of arms. Heraldry is in no way regulated in the United States, so there are no legal prohibitions regarding the use or display of arms, unless they are registered or patented by the rightful bearer.--GlasshouseWP (talk) 03:47, 15 March 2016 (UTC)


 * When placing images such as coats of arms, please avoid sandwiching text between images and/or infoboxes, per WP:IMGLOC. This creates a cluttered look, especially when there is plenty of room for the image elsewhere in the article.  Also, the default position for images is at the right.
