This is not the coat of arms of the Republic of Karelia, it is already here: File:Coat of Arms of Republic of Karelia.svg

Also the coat of arms of East Karelia in 1920-1922 exists: File: Coat of Arms of East Karelia (1920-1922).svg 85.76.17.179 06:30, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete All, he appears to be a troll account - I found this page because I was looking for how to report the fact he's created a false Coat of Arms for North Caucasus (not Karelia), based on a false FLAG of North Caucasus that was uploaded six years ago to Wiki and nobody noticed. This looks like a huge problem on Wiki that the Coats of Arms and Flags of "minor" and "historical" territories are not questioned or sourced. This Karelia one does appear as Karelia since 2019 on https://www.shutterstock.com/image-vector/east-karelia-coat-arm-350639153 though, so not 100% it's fake. I cannot tell, I mean his Caucasus one seems to be a personal re-invention of the Coat of Arms shown on their money, combined with a misunderstanding of their flag based on the separately uploaded flag of six years ago that turned the Islamic flag into a smiley face...maybe that is legit of Wiki to freehand draw a copy of something for which there is no good historical reference? Maybe it's actually even useful? HaltlosePersonalityDisorder (talk) 14:27, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
