Talk:Canton (heraldry)

??

How about someone explains all the weird un-linked terminology? Malick78 07:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, this has to be one of the least coherent articles I've ever seen. It's like a bad translation into English from another language. - Shaheenjim (talk) 21:57, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

dexter

Isn't upper dexter, the upper right? In which case is the image currently a mirror image of what it should be? Aamackie (talk) 20:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

The directions are reckoned from the holder of the shield's perspective, not the viewer's. --Daniel C. Boyer (talk) 23:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

a cut

The highly unusual usage of a "canton bendwise sinister" appears on the emblem of the 410 Flight Test Squadron of the United States Air Force.[1]

This is used in a labored attempt to blazon a field consisting of a tilted US flag. I'm taking it out: the reader does not need a catalog of every quasi-heraldic freak. (Cf WP:WEIGHT). —Tamfang (talk) 19:25, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

Stars and Stripes

Shouldn't the US Flag be an example of a flag with a canton. It's identified as such (in passing) on the Flag of the United States wikipage —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.16.15.215 (talk) 05:33, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

There probably are other omissions, too. Go ahead and add them if you like. —Tamfang (talk) 04:53, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

finality

Flag of Tuvalu is the final flag with the Union Flag in its canton

This could mean "the permanent flag of Tuvalu (successor to one or more temporary flags) has a Union canton" or "this is the last flag that will ever have the Union canton", but I suspect that final here merely means newest. Can someone clarify? —Tamfang (talk) 17:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
