Coat-of-arms

Evince is able to view the coat-of-arms correctly, but not Adobe Acrobat Reader. – Kaihsu Tai (talk) 00:30, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Is there a specific reason why this needs to be pdf? I have no clue why the thumbnailer does not do the thumb correctly. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 23:14, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I will try to fix the coat-of-arms later. The one for the Protectorate was used, when I should have used the Commonwealth one. See Coats_of_Arms_of_the_United_Kingdom#Historical_3. – Kaihsu Tai (talk) 04:35, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

The coat-of-arms to use is this: File:Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of England.svg. LaTeX source code to follow. – Kaihsu Tai (talk) 20:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
