[edit] Comment

This page describes the "Jack of Diamonds" to represent Ogier the Dane, yet on inspecting the page dedicated to that person, he is listed as the "Jack of Spades". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.134.52.167 (talk) 12:28, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other Languages

In Hebrew, the Jack is called "Prince" (Nasikh) or "Kid" (Yeled). Is this true for other languages? IBB 04:41, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] French representation

Aren't those representations from the French deck all wrong? It's very misleading to write these version on one page and then to write something else on another. Check out this site for a more correct version. Erik Blomqvist (talk) 14:29, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] United Kingdom

I don't know how accurate this statement is: "the term with this definition is still recognized in the United Kingdom" as I'm British and had certainly never heard of Knaves until reading this article. Obviously my experience might not be universal, but the justification given in the article (quoting Great Expectations) doesn't seem a very valid one given that the book was written in the mid-19th century.
