**I like the new system using names from OP. It's simple enough to use to ignore the chances of error. Of course, I'm a stinker, and went through it 'til I found a misspelling. Yes, I notified them.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 15:54, 25 June 2008 (PDT) | **I like the new system using names from OP. It's simple enough to use to ignore the chances of error.

**Question - Caid should have the original file for Bevin Fraser of Sterling / Stirling. Since the former spelling usually accompanies Silver (and is apparently what is registered), and the latter spelling is a place in Scotland (which is more logical and apparently what she wanted), could you confirm that the original paperwork has the Silver spelling instead of the place-in-Scotland spelling? The OP and the O&A might be wrong. --[[User:EowynA|EowynA]] 16:07, 25 June 2008 (PDT) | **Question - Caid should have the original file for Bevin Fraser of Sterling / Stirling.

So based on this letter, which is really the only sheet I can place in time, I would say that the Armorial may be in error. The OP, though is correct, in that it agrees with the Armorial.--[[User:Lachlan|Lachlan]] 23:13, 25 June 2008 (PDT) | |||

I've made sure to put all the editor's user names at Help:Team. Also you can always check out the full user list at Special:Listusers. --Kolfinna 11:03, 22 June 2008 (PDT)
Update to Fix Page
Help:Fix is where I am storing all the things to do and what needs to be focused on. We all have our own pet projects, but if you could also keep an eye on this page, that would be helpful. I also have discussion items that I need your feedback on Help:Fix#Discussion_Items. Thanks! --Kolfinna 09:29, 23 June 2008 (PDT)

Your proposed changes for the rules are fine. Go ahead and make the changes. --Kolfinna 12:39, 23 June 2008 (PDT)
Question for you
I really like the artwork you did for the Kingdom arms on the opening page - did you draw and scan, or use some program? Is it vector or pixel based? --EowynA 10:17, 24 June 2008 (PDT)
Thanks for the info. I'm playing with a combo of Photoshop and Illustrator to transform the photographed versions of my hand-drawn art to vector based pix with color. Did you draw it directly in Illustrator?--EowynA 11:08, 25 June 2008 (PDT)
Update to Populace pages
- Moved all the fix it notes to here Help:Fix#Populace_Pages.
- The most important addition is the Help:Populace_Names which is a direct feed from the OP, so should have the proper spelling for the majority of Caidans. Thanks! --Kolfinna 11:10, 25 June 2008 (PDT)

- The (current) armorial has the spelling "Bevin Fraser Sterling". The original armorial is out in the garage. I could check later...
- A sheet in her file labeled "HISTORICAL INFORMATION FOR THE GREAT BOOK OF ARMS" uses the spelling "Fraser of Sterling" for "surname or place name, if any." I've got no idea if she filled this form out, or some herald did.
- An armory form in the file has the name "Bevin Fraser of Stirling", though I strongly suspect it post-dates the registration of her device. No indication either way.
- The notification letter from Karina (dtd. 13 March 1974), indicating that her device "has been found suitable" is addressed to "Bevin Fraser of Stirling". (side note: At the bottom is a note "KFW/at". Any idea who "at" was?)
So based on this letter, which is really the only sheet I can place in time, I would say that the Armorial may be in error. The OP, though is correct, in that it agrees with the Armorial.--Lachlan 23:13, 25 June 2008 (PDT)
