Heraldry

 * Archived First Peer Review
 * Unsuccessful FAC

This article was peer reviewed late last year and one of the big problems noted was the lack of inline citations. This has been taken care of, but there is still uncertainty on the part of some people as to how to get this to an FA class article. I think that another peer review at this point would be beneficial. Any ideas?-- Eva  b  d  19:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The article seems to concentrate on the rules of heraldry, with very little on how heraldry was actually used. The German and French articles focus more on the latter; perhaps we could get some ideas from there. I would possibly be inclined to move the whole Rules of heraldry section (which is a very nice example of summary style, by the way) into the coat of arms article, and replace it with an even shorter summary. The origins and history section needs expanding. A section on the role of the herald (with a Main link to herald or officer of arms) would also be good, especially given that the first sentence says that heraldry encompasses all the duties of an officer of arms. Some discussion of who used/uses arms (nobility, commoners,...) and how they are acquired would also be useful. It would be nice to have some more about the national variations, especially since most English-language books deal only with the heraldry of the British Isles, but this would probably require more of the articles in the Heraldry by country series to be written.
