Commune de Quintillan (Aude)

• Bonjour Jpgibert. S'il vous plais, pourriez-vous m'indiquer la source du blason Blason de Quintillan.svg. Je ne trouve pas l'information. Cordialement. --Tho-ric (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Bonjour Tho-ric, je me suis contenté de réaliser le blason à partir du blasonnement présent dans l'armorial des communes de l'aude sur Wikipédia. Désolé, je n'ai pas d'information quant à l'origine de ce blasonnement.

Simple coat of arms images that should use vector graphics

Can you explain to me what is your treshold for simplicity? How in the world is File:Armas duques vila real.png or File:Armas de Sancho-Miñano.png simple, compared to actually simple designs like File:Armas Champaña.png. Stop adding literally everything in the category because then it becomes pointless. Thanks.--TFerenczy (talk) 11:13, 2 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi TFerenczy, thanks you to report me these files. I agree, the composition is complex but the number of charges is limited and it is not so difficult to recreate them in SVG format by using the c:Category:SVG coat of arms elements - charges.

However, I think that I misunderstood the "simple" word in the category name. For me, "simple" refers to the shield without external ornaments. You think it is a reference to the complexity of the shield itself.

Ok, I understand your point of view and will stop my action.

Armes des comtes de Hainaut

Bonsoir, grâce à ce que j'apprends avec vous sur mes demandes de blasons, je viens de traduire la description en français du blason mais j'ai besoin d'un tuteur ! Pouvez vous vérifier tout cela. Merci d'avance. Cordialement--Thcollet (talk) 17:17, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

@Thcollet: Heureux d'apprendre que vous vous lancez dans le blasonnement. C'est un art subtile qui peut être complexe mais auquel je trouve une poésie particulière à ce mélange de néologismes et de langage délicieusement désuet, à cette syntaxe sans verbe et méthodique. Ca nécessite malheureusement une connaissance importante des définitions. Je vous recommande à ce sujet, deux sites intéressants : Au balson des armoiries et Euraldic qui fournissent des définitions de qualité (le premier à cet avantage de fournir des exemples visuels). Vous pouvez également jeter un coup d'œil sur le Wiktionnaire que j'enrichis chaque fois que je peux : wikt:fr:Thésaurus:héraldique/français. J'ajoute également des exemples visuels pour un maximum d'articles et j'homogénéise la forme des définitions. Depuis peu, j'essaie de mettre un lien dans les articles sur les termes vers les catégories sur Commons mais ce n'est encore qu'une ébauche (section : Voir aussi).

J'ai encore beaucoup à apprendre .

Concernant les armoiries que vous m'avez signalées, le blasonnement est correct pour moi.

J'aurai juste une suggestion qui n'a rien à voir avec le blasonnement, n'hésitez pas à catégoriser techniquement les armoiries qui ne le sont pas ou peu. Ca aidera ceux qui cherchent des exemples (et même ceux qui veulent identifier des armoiries). Ce n'est pas toujours évident à faire parce que les catégories sont en anglais. Pour vous aider, vous pouvez regarder cette page : Illustrated atlas of French and English heraldic terms. Elle offre, une traduction français/anglais des principaux termes, mais tout n'y est pas.

Je me ferai un plaisir de vous aider si vous avez des questions.

Bonne continuation. Jpgibert (talk) 21:49, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour Jean-Paul. Merci pour votre réponse. Je vais agir avec prudence. Bonne journée--Thcollet (talk) 05:10, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

@Jpgibert: Bonjour, Un petit pb avec le lien autre source sur qui renvoit sur votre dernier dessin . Ce n'est pas la même abbaye même si c'est le même blason. Cordialement --Thcollet (talk) 07:46, 18 March 2020 (UTC)

Blason Pecher

Bonjour Jpgibert, j'ai été contacté par un tiers me disant qu'un membre de la famille Pecher souhaite que leur blason soit retiré de Wikimédia... Vous serait-il possible de faire la demande aux administrateurs ? Merci beaucoup pour votre compréhension et veuillez m'excuser pour ce dérangement. Cdlt --Brookford (talk) 19:53, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Bonsoir Brookford. Ce dessin a été réalisé sur la base d'un blasonnement. La famille n'a donc aucun droit en quoi que ce soit à nous demander de supprimer cette image. La famille peut détenir des droits sur une image qu'elle a fait réaliser, mais pas sur le blasonnement qui est un texte. C'est pourquoi on fait nous-même les images pour contourner un éventuel droit d'auteur sur les images pré-existantes. Je ne vois donc pas de raison de faire une demande de suppression. Jpgibert (talk) 20:37, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

Cher Jpgibert, vous avez tout à fait raison. Cdlt.--Brookford (talk) 21:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Dragon en cimier

Bonsoir Jpgibert,
Peut-être pourrez-vous répondre à une question que j'ai concernant ce blason. Comment blasonneriez-vous ce cimier :  ? Doit-on préciser la position de ses ailes et de sa (ses) pâte ? Cdlt. --Brookford (talk) 18:57, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Bonsoir Brookford. Le blason (grammaire) ne s'applique pas aux ornements extérieurs. Habituellement, il y a un respect de ses règles mais avec une certaine souplesse pouvant aller jusqu'à du je-m'en-foutisme éhonté. C'est pourquoi je préfère me focaliser sur les armoiries plutôt qu'aux ornements extérieurs.

Je ne pense pas qu'il soit vraiment nécessaire d'entrer trop dans les détails. Pour moi, il s'agit d'un dragon éployé issant de la couronne.

On peut ignorer la patte. Le qualificatif issant suffit à expliquer sa présence. Jpgibert (talk) 19:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Merci Jpgibert, j'ignorais que le cimier ne se blasonnait pas de la même manière ! Bonne soirée. --Brookford (talk) 19:38, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Brookford, ce n'est pas uniquement le cimier mais bien tous les ornements extérieurs (casque, couronne, supports, tenants, devise, terrasse et j'en passe) qui ne sont pas soumis au blason. En fait, la pratique de transformer des armoiries personnelles en armoiries familiales stabilisées a rapidement posé problème puisque les héritiers de la famille n'avaient pas le choix de leurs armes (à la brisure près). Mais une fois l'héritier devenu le responsable de la famille, il perdait ses propres armoiries pour récupérer celles de la famille. Or il est humainement naturel de vouloir faire partie d'un groupe tout en se démarquant. Ces armoiries ne permettant pas de se distinguer, les gens ont adopté les ornements extérieurs moins rigoureux et aisément personnalisables avec profusion de possibilités de mettre en avant son narcissisme autant que sa superbe réelle ou fantasmée. Evidemment, les confréries, ordres divers et compagnie ont exploité les ornements extérieurs. C'était plus simple de mettre un collier de jarretière ou des crosses derrière un écu plutôt que de modifier des armoiries déjà chargées par les écartelés et autres partitions destinées à accumuler les références aux alliances et suzerainetés diverses.

Historiquement et généalogiquement, ces éléments sont intéressants et fournissent plein d'informations sur les prétendants à ces éléments. Mais héraldiquement (au sens armoiries), ça n'a aucune importance, c'est du décorum.

La preuve, seules les armoiries sont reconnues juridiquement, c'était comme une signature (à l'époque où elles étaient utilisées en France, mais c'est toujours valable en Angleterre par exemple). Jpgibert (talk) 20:16, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I removed the metacat template you put on some categories

Hello, Jpgibert. I noticed that you put a metacat template on some categories that are not metacats. One of them was Category:2 church bells in heraldry. You put {{MetaCat|number}} on that category. That is not correct, because the subcats in that category are not grouped by the number of church bells. It does appear that they are supposed to be grouped by tincture, but this is not a metacat by tincture, either, because the category name doesn't indicate such a grouping.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to ask. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:22, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Auntof6. Before all thing, thanks a lot for your attention. Commons is a very big project difficult to maintain.

I understand your explanation. Maybe my choice is not good (inspired by another category). I used this template to encourage users to avoid image categorization in these specific categories. This in the goal to respect the usage principle of the most precisely category (I'm not sure to be clear, sorry, my english is not very good). For me, these categories are here only to group another categories.

If you think that is not a good idea, I note this and will avoid to repeat it in future. Maybe there is another method to do that or another template ?

Have a nice day.

Jpgibert (talk) 07:19, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

If you want to do that, you could instead use the {{Categorise}} template. {{MetaCat}} is reserved for a specific type of category that should not contain images. As an example, see Category:Church bells in heraldry by number, the parent to the category I linked above. That one is a metacat, because the category name says "by number" and the subcats are each for a specific number of bells. Hope that explains the difference. --Auntof6 (talk) 08:01, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks a lot Auntof6, I will use this template in future instead of metacat (reserved usage for by something categories). I understand the difference. Jpgibert (talk) 08:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Blasons JANSSEN

Bonjour Jpgibert, concernant la famille Janssen, le blason appartient au Baron (Léon) Janssen anobli en 1910. Il a choisi RECTITUDO comme devise.

Le blason appartient au Baron Emmanuel Janssen, anobli en 1930. Il a choisi la même devise que celle de sont cousin léon. Ses descendants présents sur Wikipédia sont Charles-Emmanuel Janssen, Daniel Janssen et Nicolas Janssen.

Les autres, comme Charles Janssen, Albert-Edouard Janssen etc ne portent pas ces blasons.

Vous trouverez ces informations dans l'Etat présent de la noblesse belge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherss (talk • contribs) 17:59, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Bonjour Cherss. J'imagine que vous me contactez parce que j'ai dessiné les armoiries de la famille (au format vectoriel, format recommandé par les différents projets liés aux armoiries sur Wikipédia, quelle que soit la langue).

Toutefois, je suis intervenu à la demande d'un autre contributeur comme on peut le voir dans cette demande : w:fr:Projet:Blasons/Demande_de_blason/Archives/2020#Blason_de_la_famille_Janssen.

Je n'ai personnellement fait aucune action quant à l'utilisation de ce dessin. Mon action se limite à la réalisation du dessin. Je vous invite donc à prendre contact avec le demandeur original de la demande.

Bonne soirée. Jpgibert (talk) 19:43, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

Merci

Hello, thanks to your corrections to among other files, File:COA-family-sv-Brummer 1772.png, I have now started a renovation of my uploaded files, where I will collect the corrected versions I changed with Commons:AWB in Category:CoA_Lab-sv, which is presently my end station for corrected files, both considering recommended tincture hexadecimal colors, as well as proper descriptions. All further input from you very much appreciated. I think the Heraldry project pages should be updated, and more informative, so active contributors save time, and I think it could be a very active section, if taken care of better. Again, thanks, and if you have time to check how I work, please considerate giving more advice. It seems many people worked a lot to improve heraldry on commons before, lately I have not seen many... Dan Koehl (talk) 13:42, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Dan Koehl, you're welcome.

I sorry for my poor english. I'm not sure to understand all your comment. I hope my answer will help you.

I don't patrol on heraldic drawing but I check sometimes a set of categories (bells for example) and I try to keep them clear by precise categorization (colors and numbers). When I see images without french description, I try to provide one and convert to COAInformation template as recommended by the Heraldry project.

I don't know what is your knowledge about heraldry concepts. Don't take offense if my explanations seem trivial to you.

Regarding the tincture, the {{Tincture}} template provide some hexadecimal colors. But these values are not official and mandatory. Each heraldic project uses its own hexadecimal values (historic legacy). In French Projet Blasons we use some values not used in swedish heraldry. And it is not a problem. The heraldry uses tincture concept and not real colors. If you are able to recognize a blue tincture, you have azure tincture. The variation around the blue color is considered as azure. Idem for other colors. So, you don't have to use the recommended hexadecimal colors if you work for a specific heraldry (germanic, british, french, spannish, italian...).

Personally, I use french recommended colors to provide homogeneous representation in the same version of the french Wikipedia.

If you want more information or advice, don't hesitate to ping me, I would try to help you. Jpgibert (talk) 08:18, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Blason de la ville Imperia (Italie).svg

Bonjour Jean-Paul, merci pour tes beaux coas! May I ask you to never user the deprecated template {{Created with Inscape}}. It is so easy to tag an image correctly, as you may see at the above file. All incorrect taggings have to be corrected by others. You can see all corrected blosons in Valid SVG created with Inkscape:CoA by JPGibert. Cdlt -- sarang♥사랑 18:12, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi 사랑, I'm sorry for this bad usage. I think that you speak about the tag "image=JPG". I saw it before but I was not able to understand why someone wants to indicate JPEG information on an SVG file. It is not clear this system. I will use it in future. Jpgibert (talk) 11:41, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi 사랑, I finish to understand how use the image tag on COAInformation template. It is not easy, without information, to understand that JPG is my trigram and not a reference to the JPEG format. This is a shortcut to add SVG validation, Inkscape and Projet Blasons userboxes. As said previously, I will use it in future. For your information, I check all my old images to remove usage of the Created with inkscape template. Cdlt. Jpgibert (talk) 22:27, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Soap Boy 1,

I am a little bit busy right now. I hope you are not in a hurry.

I can try to draw some insignia but I think I am not able to draw all the list (few of them have a poor definition).

Regards Jpgibert (talk) 10:04, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks a lot @Jpgibert: . For better resolution of the image you could visit this website. Take your time. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 11:22, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Ok Soap Boy 1, I will try to create them.

Do you have a preference for where to store the insignia?

I propose : Category:Insignia of regiments of Indian Army. Jpgibert (talk) 14:59, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks once again and yeah the category seems fine. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 18:54, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Soap Boy 1, I created a first insignia. But I can see in the original file on the english Wikipedia a non-free restriction on the file. The definition is deliberately low to be used on wikipedia. So I think that a recreation is not allowed especially on Commons. I propose to wait to see if someone ask to delete it for copy violation. Jpgibert (talk) 21:00, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

The reason for non free restriction on the files are probably because of the reason that these images are being used without the permission of the author.

But most of these insignia are over 60 years old and according to Indian law works enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published. So if you are creating the insignia yourself, they will be free to use.

I recommend you to use following licensings in your file:

• {{PD-retouched-user|Jpgibert}}
• {{insignia}}
• {{PD-India}}
• {{PD-EdictGov}}

You should probably wait a week before creating others. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 05:40, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Soap Boy 1, thanks a lot for the information. I used the provided licenses. I hope that my first test is ok for you. Jpgibert (talk) 13:25, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Yes, the vector image you created is quite good. 👍👍

Also you can use this website for reference (although the images have watermark). Soap Boy 1 (talk) 16:55, 2 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Soap Boy 1, I draw the Assam regiment insignia. I had to redraw the rhinoceros unicornis from another source (photo) for a better result. I hope it is fine for you. Jpgibert (talk) 21:29, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey...

No one deleted the first file you created for copy violation. I even added it in the Wikipedia article page. So I think it will be okay to create others.

It is fine if you draw the insignia from other sources as there is no definite image to be used. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 17:01, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi @Jpgibert: , you are doing great work in drawing logo for the infantary regiments. I stumbled upon one of your image which led me to your talk page, where I found you were requested to make the logos for the regiments. But I want to point out that @Soap Boy 1: missed some of the infantary regiments. Here is the list-

• Parachute Regiment
  • Para (Special Forces)
• 1st Gorkha Rifles
• 3rd Gorkha Rifles
• 4th Gorkha Rifles
• 5th Gorkha Rifles
• 8th Gorkha Rifles
• 9th Gorkha Rifles
• 11th Gorkha Rifles
• Ladakh Scouts
• Sikkim Scouts (English Wikipedia article)
• Arunachal Scouts (English Wikipedia article) Cookersweet (talk) 15:42, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

I want also point out that the above mentioned are only the Infantary Regimets of Indian Army. There are other regiments also. If you could please draw there logos also.

1. Infantary Regiments

Punjab Regiment
Assam Regiment
Gorkha Rifles
..........and so on (already mentioned above)

2. Armoured Corps

Article
Logo

3. Regiment of Artillery

4. Corps of Army Air Defence

Article
Logo

5. Army Aviation Corps

Article
Logo

6. Corps of Engineers

Article
Logo

7. Corps of Signals

Article
Logo

8. Mechanised Infantry Regiment

Article
Logo

You can check the following for above lists- Structure

• Combat Arms
  • Infantry
• Services

P.S. - You would easily find logos of regiments by searching on Google, as most uploaded to Wikipedia are of poor quality.

Also most of the regiments were raised during British rule as a part of British Indian Army so they have similar logos as some of the regiments of the British Army (just the crown swapped with Indian emblem after independence). You may use already uploaded British army logos to lessen your work. For example- Royal Corps of Signals and Indian Army Corps of Signals, Royal Artillery and Regiment of Artillery, The Rifles and Rajputana Rifles and many more.

Cookersweet (talk) 17:01, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

@Cookersweet: I know I have skipped some of the regiments (of infantary) as their insignias were not same like the others. I only requested golden insignia as they were uniform in nature. You, along with different infantry regiments have also added other regiments (like Signal Corps, Artillery Regiment, etc.) but the list is still not complete. See here - List of regiments of the Indian Army

It would be great if the artist would like to create other ones also, I have no issues with that. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 09:52, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

Some references

• Infantry Regiments
• Other regiments (Other than infantries)

Cookersweet (talk) 17:37, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Cookersweet,

Thanks a lot for your interest in my work. I created a specific page to list the images to create. You can edit it to add other images: User:Jpgibert/heraldry/todo-list. You can follow this page to be notified when a new image is available.

I previously said to Soap Boy 1 that my time is limited to draw. Please, help me to help you and provide me which image you want to use. I don't want to spend time combing through references to figure out what I should do, I hope you understand that.

By working together, we will go further :)

Coat of arms request

Hello @Jpgibert:

Hope you are doing well. I know you are busy doing other projects, so I am really sorry to bother you, but can you please in your free time checkout Commons:Graphic Lab/Illustration workshop#East India Company's Coat of Arms (1600 - 1709).

I know you are great creator and specialises in drawing Coat of Arms. Please consider if you think it's worth doing. I completely understand if you want to skip it.

Best Wishes Soap Boy 1 (talk) 11:46, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello @Soap Boy 1,

Sorry for the delay. I'm not sure to understand what you want from me. Which coat of arms do you want exactly?

Perhaps your request has since been completed.

Jpgibert (talk) 14:14, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Hey

I requested you to draw the Coat of Arms used by the Company between 1600-1709. Yeah, the request was completed but the SVG versions vary a lot from the original, as they were made by just combining different elements available on commons.

SVG images - 12

Blazon - 1

Sources - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

No worries if you like to pass the project, as it is not that important.

Heraldically, the coat of arms provided by the contributor is correct. There is just one little error, the leopards must be langued and armed azure. On the image, the leopards are langued gules and armed argent.

So, I think you want particular external ornaments.

External ornaments are problematic in heraldry. There is no real heraldic rules on them. It is more a decoration than anything else. So, this is why we can find a lot of variation about them for the same coat of arms. Personally, I am not interested in these elements.

But, if you want a specific set, indicates me which image is the reference for you (perhaps, heraldry-wiki one?) and I will try to adapt the image to obtain the rendering expected. Jpgibert (talk) 20:15, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you but no need to do anything, as it is not a major problem. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 02:52, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

SVG logo request

Hello respected @Jpgibert: Can you convert the en:File:West Bengal Police Logo.png, Motto - सत्यमेव जयते en:Satyameva Jayate logo of en:West Bengal Police [1] [2] in .SVG format.Thank you -- Kulbhushan Jhadav (talk) 09:20, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello Kulbhushan Jhadav, as said on the talk page of the Defence Intelligence Agency (India) file on English Wikipedia, you can add your request to my insignia todo-list (not limited to indian army).

For your information, I don't convert to SVG, I redraw images for better rendering and create lightweight files (and, incidentally, I try to limit the carbon impact of my images).

Moreover, the requested images contain the Lion Capital of Ashoka. The only SVG version of this sculpture on Commons is very beautiful and heavy! I'm working on a lightweight version of this file but it is not available yet.

Best regards, Jpgibert (talk) 20:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Hii @Jpgibert: how much progress has done? I requested you to convert West Bengal police logo in .svg format. -@ Kulbhushan Jhadav (talk) 12:31, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Kulbhushan Jhadav,

I worked on it and produced a version of the lions sculpture but I forgot this subject due to several other subjects priorities. Sorry for the long delay.

Is it possible for you to provide me the hindi characters visible on the logo? It is better in SVG to have the characters instead of vectorized version.

Jpgibert (talk) 13:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi Kulbhushan Jhadav,

I published the asked image : File:West Bengal Police Logo (India).svg. I hope this image will suit you.

Fichier Michel de Cambernon

Bonjour jpgibert, l'aperçu du fichier Michel de Cambernon.svg format 1681x2048 pixels a été altéré: il manque 2 coquilles cantons 3 et 4 alors que tout était bon au départ en 2019. Bizarrement, on avait relevé ce même problème pour le fichier "Michel de Vesly" qui a été corrigé depuis par l'auteur. Merci de voir quel est le souci ici, en espérant que ces altérations ne soient pas répétitives. Matchikoul (talk) 19:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

Bonjour Matchikoul, ce problème d'éléments SVG qui disparaissent par moment mais qui sont toujours corrects sur l'image SVG elle-même (je ne parle pas des aperçus) est généralement dû à des problèmes de clones. En effet, le format SVG permet de créer des clones de clones, ce qui est très utile, surtout quand on fait de feuillages. Sauf que l'outil de génération de PNG utilisé par Wikimedia Commons est aux fraises. Il ne gère pas cette opération. J'ai déjà corrigé pas mal d'images (miennes ou pas) et je fais attention pour les nouvelles, mais il en reste.

J'ignore pourquoi la fondation ne change pas cet outil merdique pour le remplacer par un valable. Les navigateurs embarquent tous un convertisseur SVG qui fonctionne bien. Enfin, faut faire avec.

Le problème est corrigé. En fait, il semble qu'une version du logiciel de conversion PNG ait bien fonctionné pendant un temps. Les aperçus des images étaient correctes et en cache. Mais celles qui n'étaient pas en cache présentaient le problème. Une fois mis à jour, les images en cache ont été recalculé et le bug est apparu là où il n'était pas visible (cf. historique du fichier).

Merci de me l'avoir signalé. Jpgibert (talk) 08:12, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Tinctures

TYI: Coa elements can also have a tincture ! When it is just an outlining, the tincture-letter will be x for transparent items.
It may be a possibilty that elements converted to COAInformation without a tincture won't get the attribute "undefined tincture" ? Cdlt -- sarang♥사랑 16:06, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Sarang

I agree with you, charges can have a tincture, but a charge or ordinary, alone, is just an element to use in coat of arms and its color (or transparency) is not important in heraldry point of view. For me, indicating a color on a charge or ordinary is not relevant.

Another thing, I can see the category SVG coats of arms of France on the indicated gallo-roman sigillated chalice. But elements are not a coat of arms. For me, this is an error to categorize a charge as coat of arms. Moreover, these elements are also used in other countries coat of arms.

Thanks for you help.

Blason Castelbajac

Bonjour jpgibert,
Passant par ici, je souhaitais vous informer que ce blason est probabement erroné…
Jougla, qui a servi de référence lors de la demande, est peut-être coupable d'une mauvaise lecture (ce ne serait pas la première fois) car il est bien le seul à ranger les fleurs en fasce alors que les autres sources (Armorial toulousain, Armorial des Landes, ou simplement Rietstap) les rangent 2 et 1, positionnement par défaut que Jougla, donc, appréhende parfois difficilement.
Par ailleurs, des modifications ont été faites sur la page de la famille qui ne paraissent pas relever du vandalisme, malgré le récent verrouillage, mais semblent bien corroborer le blasonnement 2 et 1.
Il va de soi que le blason de la commune est probablement également fautif, son « statut officiel restant à déterminer »…
Je reste curieux quant à votre opinion, il y a peut-être d'autres sources, et si vous le souhaitez je pourrais facilement m'occuper des deux le cas échéant.

Lion statant regardant

@Jpgibert: Request for an SVG coat of arm element of a lion statant regardant for Heraldic attitudes of lion. The 9th image in this table shows the desired image. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 19:08, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

Jpgibert (talk) 15:18, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

👍👍👍 Soap Boy 1 (talk) 16:43, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Want your opinion about what would be the most appropriate name for the page -

• Heraldic attitudes of lion (current)
• Attitudes of heraldic lion
• Heraldic lion attitudes
• Heraldic lion's attitudes

Please feel free to suggest any other name. Soap Boy 1 (talk) 16:58, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

@Soap Boy 1: some figures are not a representation of attitudes: coward, baillone, morne, defamed, disjointed and the following.

These figures are illustrations of lion's properties. The queue noued (knotted tail) is available for all attitude (rampant, couchant, dormant, passant...). Technically, it is possible to find on shield a lion coward statant guardant.

So, if you want to keep all the images currently present in your page, I think it's better to rename the page to reflect all the lion's properties in heraldry. Something like Heraldic lion's representations for example.

Hi Bairagi Ram,

Sorry for the delay, I work on several projects, I can work on these representations but don't be in a hurry.

Are these images in public domain? I precedently worked on India logos and several had been deleted. I don't want to work unnecessarily.

Do you know what is the ornament on the bordure? bee? flower? Maybe it is not necessary to reproduce this.
