[edit] Comments for Improvement

I think it's an interesting and well written article, but I'm missing an exploration of the political background: why was it important for the crown to control the use of arms and the claims of gentility? Also it could benefit from a list of literature in addition to the notes, and perhaps also a picture, for instance the one that's on Garter Principal King of Arms? Eixo 22:44, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA failed

For the following reasons :

  • Lacking in references.
  • Too many red links. Done
  • There is some evidence ... and what are they? Done
  • Please rephrase this line The process did not begin in earnest, though, until the sixteenth century. Done
  • Needs at least a picture. Done
  • Give more details about the cease to use arms if used illegally and give examples if any are availables.
  • In what are the Scottish visitations different from the English ones. Done

How many references would be needed to make this a good article? For the length of the article, the inline citations seem reasonable.--dave-- 03:26, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Sweeps

This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article, but there are issues that might be looked at for the future. Specifically, citation is barely enough for GA and should be more liberally used in the article to demonstrate that the topic has been properly covered by the references given. In addition, the lead is very short and does not provide effective context. The article history has been updated to reflect this review. Regards, Jackyd101 (talk) 14:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
