It would be great if the coat of arms could be enlarged by clicking on it and the colours clearly identifiable and thefeatures on the coat named with the colour associated with it. Maybe even the significance of the features. Stephen

[edit] Inaccurate translation

The motto was originally rege, lege, grege, which is not "for the Queen, the Law and the People" (as shown on the coat of arms), in that:

  • rex is "king", not "queen"
  • greges is "the great unwashed", the "lower orders"

[edit] Coat of Arms of the City of Canberra.

The Australian Capital Territory does not have a Coat of Arms. These are the Arms of the City of Canberra.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Canberra coat of arms.png

Image:Canberra coat of arms.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
