[edit] "Remote" vs "far away" or "distant"
I changed "as remote as China" to "as far away as China" because, to me, remote implies hard to reach or out of the way. However, I looked at the edit history and saw that someone had previously changed it from "distant" to "remote", effectively the opposite of my edit. I prefer it as it is but maybe people disagree. - 86.42.162.172 14:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've never in a lifetime of reading seen "far away" hyphenated. Hopefully the current edit covers all the bases... - 86.42.140.233 17:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The mermaid's crown
A big deal is made out of the breast enlargement, but the addition of a crown on the mermaid's head, a modification much more significant from the heraldic point of view, is not mentioned, let alone explained in the article. Could someone shed any light on this? — Kpalion(talk) 08:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
As for the navel, does anyone know if merfolk are viviparous or oviparous? If the latter is true, then they shouldn't be expected to have navels. — Kpalion(talk) 13:32, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Do mermaids have pronounced nipples and crowns?
[edit] Stolpmünde coats of arms by Wilhelm Granzow
The coat of arms of Stolpmünde in Pomerania, Germany, now Ustka, Poland, was created in 1922 by artist Wilhelm Granzow from a local Stolp and Stolpmünde family, who traced their ancestry to the same area of Pomerania for over 500 years. The local museum in todays Ustka features Wilhelm Granzow[1] The ship, mermaid and fish depicted on the arms symbolize the town's main sources of income: the seaport, tourism and fishery respectively. The coat of arms can be found in various places throughout the city, with the most remarkable of these being the monument of the Dying Warrior which commemorates the 76 inhabitants of Stolpmünde that perished during the First World War.
-because of repeated willfully removals of information by Space Cadet posted here- Wilhelm Granzow created the coat of arms of Stolpmünde, the monument commemorates the perished inhabitants of Stolpmünde. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.133.64.78 (talk) 19:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
