Hi, I thought you might like to know that there *is* actually a badge for March Pursuivant of Arms. I looked it up in the Public Register today and the blazon is a demi lion rampant holding a rose Gules and gorged with a coronet of four fleur de lys (two visible) and four crosses pattée (one and two halves visible) Or. It would be nice if you could do an emblazonment if you have the time please.

Hello, I've found this coat with external ornaments: [1] Could you make the full coat, please?

To denigrate means to criticise unfairly, to disparage. This is definitely not what the section is saying happened to the College, so the term is being misused. If the period was a low point for the College, that's what the section heading should indicate. Awien (talk) 00:31, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is exactly what happened during the reign of Henry VII. But Rise and Fall is too generic to describe what was a rather traumatic period in the College's early history. Sodacan (talk) 01:01, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Who said what that was unfair? Things were done, not said. Awien (talk) 01:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then pick another word if you have that much concern for its descriptiveness, just try and avoid the generic cliché. Rise and fall can be use to describe anything from: Roman Empire, to New Coke, to the arguments for gold and white at #thedress. Sodacan (talk) 01:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I actually turned the cliché around for effect, which you seen to have failed to notice. And a word of advice: falling into malapropism is not the way to sound clever. I am going to correct to something plain and simple for now. Awien (talk) 02:15, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for whatever you are trying to do here. But I would rather have a conversation about content and substances rather than one on section titles. Make any effect you want I will revert it until there is a change that I agree with. See how clever I am now? Sodacan (talk) 02:21, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do you know, not that bad! I won't revert the last edit. Sodacan (talk) 02:24, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sodacan, I found that File:Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (HM Government).svg had been linked in to commons:template:OGL, commons:template:OGL2, and commons:template:OGL3, with the result that the Arms were included in each page so licensed. As this was unnecessary and seemed to gratuitously infringe I have revised those templates accordingly. This should dramatically reduce the number of "What links here" hits. I understand there is some perceived ambiguity about the legality of such usage, but there's no point in tugging the tiger's tail. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:17, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good day to you sir. I hope that you would not be offended that, while you have not updated the arms to His Royal Highness the Prince Henry of Wales, I have done so for you, using your own work. Of course, once you will be able to update your work, it will be much better then anything that I can do.

Also, I must say that I have enjoyed your heraldic works for many years now. You help my interest in Heraldic art over the years. Bravo Zulu for your work.

Cheers! Ctjj.stevenson (talk) 15:41, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm assuming that you use the same name on commons. I've left a message and assume that you might see this sooner.--Trappedinburnley (talk) 23:22, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia with your beautiful artwork. You have a rare and wonderful artistic talent. Best wishes. Figaro (talk) 00:52, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your addition of ranks/insignia which you added to Royal New Zealand Air Force‎ because it has problems. RNZAF sergeants actually wear three stripes to indicate rank, and corporals wear two stripes. Moriori (talk) 03:55, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I have fixed the mistake in question, hope everything is okay now. Sodacan (talk) 04:29, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sodacan, can you help me to create an example of an Italian coat of arms for this paragraph: Other European countries?

Let me know and I'll post a picture to vectorize. Waiting for your reply --Lorem Ipsum (talk) 12:43, 10 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you are changing flag images from .png to .svg. Feel free to make any necessary changes at User:Mjroots/Flags as I use these for shipwreck lists. Mjroots (talk) 07:38, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is unlikely that many members of the peerage are among Wikipedia's editors, but just in case I thought about making some userboxes for them based on your illustrations. What do you think of these?

This user is a Baron

This user is a Viscount

This user is an Earl

This user is a Marquess

This user is a Duke

This user is a Baron in the peerage of England

This user is a Viscount in the peerage of Ireland

This user is an Earl in the peerage of Scotland

This user is a Marquess in the peerage of Great Britain

This user is a Duke in the peerage of the United Kingdom

Thank you very much, I will be very careful. --Sodacan (talk) 03:42, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File:England COA.svg is correct. The date of this siege is 1189-92 and the "new" File name is 1298- 1340. გიო ოქრო 15:23, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

England did not have a coat of arms in 1189. The files are identical herald images. The article is wrong to include the arms, the images are correct. --Sodacan (talk) 15:27, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the update to Module:Country alias for the improved images. Just a request, because it's such a large module, if you end up editing it in the future, would you mind leaving an edit summary as to what you did? It helps track down changes if for some reason they need to be reversed or further modified. Cheers, Primefac (talk) 15:03, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I will do so in future, Thank you! Sodacan (talk) 15:27, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Monarchy of Thailand shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being

Given the ragtag way in which your DYKs are buried in your archives (mine are the same) it is no wonder you didn't know you had five DYKs. Beautiful article. Cheers. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:02, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have never reviewed a DYK before, let me read some of the lit and will get back to you. Thank you! Sodacan (talk) 03:05, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can help. I have experience, and know some methods that facilitate it. You can contact me via e-mail. Best. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 03:50, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Coronation of the Thai monarch

On 30 September 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Coronation of the Thai monarch, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Coronation of the Thai monarch. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Coronation of the Thai monarch), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Some advise on how to deal with unreasonable editors

I see a section above

WP:3RR

. You were on a hiding to nothing, as the IP address did not care if they were blocked.

If ever you get into such a revert war again stop before breaching the 3RR limit. Instead post a comment to the talk page of the article explaining your reasons your preferred version. Wait for at least 24 hours to see if the other party engages in a conversation on the talk page (if they do then follow the

WP:ANI or Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

explaining what you did, with diffs (including those to the talk page) and what the other party has done with diffs.

If after you stop reverting, another editor takes up the baton by reverting the revert of the other party then if the other party reverts again and breaches 3RR take it to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring.

Why does the the coat of arms of the Queen and Prince Philip have two separate coat of arms and others don't?Mr Hall of England (talk) 08:56, 27 July 2018 (UTC) [reply]

Dear Sodacan

I want to ask you that this template Template:Royal palaces in Thailand is need to update or not? I don't understand why the template and List of Thai royal residences is not match? I need to edit it or not? you can help me.Ministerboy (talk) 08:04, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ministerboy: Yes I will try to help you with this. I think at first the template only include palaces that have their own articles. But now a lot of them have their own articles so more can be added. Also would it be useful if we create a sub-heading in the template for Princely palaces? --Sodacan (talk) 08:09, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Sodacan: I think so. In my opinion I think un-own articles need to ne in Template too for the future editing it will automatic add. Thank for helping me. Ministerboy (talk) 08:15, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wat Phra Kew

Sounds good, but I would imagine it could be nominated as you are doing the rewrite. In fact, it may take some time for a reviewer to attach themselves to the article. QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:33, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@QatarStarsLeague: That is okay. I will try my best to speed it up, I do it offline then upload one major edit. Hopefully before someone comes along. Also please have a look at my recent article and see if it is worth nominating: Coronation of the Thai monarch. Sodacan (talk) 00:46, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very good. Also, I think Coronation of the Thai monarch does deserve a nomination. Might as well try! QatarStarsLeague (talk) 00:51, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
