Royal Standard of Norway

Have you seen the latest comment on the talk page of this article? You have been accused of foul language for some reason! Lars Roede (talk) 06:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I have just now written some comments in the Talk of the article. I don't understand why Fry1989 is preferring Salomonsen's lion to Peterssen's lion which is used by the Norwegian royal family. I have myself written in Heraldisk Tidsskrift about this lion and I cannot quite see what Fry1989's arguments might be. Regards Hans Cappelen (talk) 08:16, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Good morning, Hans! I have just congratulated user Haakon K on his intervention in the Spanish article on the Royal standard. He is fluent in Spanish and has managed to convince the Spanish administrators that my proposed file kongeflagg.png is not a case of vandalism. At least the most important article in Spanish is now correct, in addition to the Norwegian ones. For the time being, I have postponed further attempts to save the articles in English and other languages. Please see my message to Haakon K on his Norwegian talk page, in which I divulge that I have made a few minimal attempts anyway, in the hope that they will not immediately be sabotaged. Greetings from Lars Roede (talk) 06:29, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

I am happy to see that we agree on this! I have also had some problems with explaining to an other contributor the difference between the Norwegian national coat of arms (as used by governmental authorities) and the Norwegian royal coat of arms (with mantle and collar of the Order of St Olaf). I hope that will be corrected. Greetings from Hans Cappelen (talk) 08:56, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Good evening, Hans! I am happy to inform you that a helpful user, Hosmich, has converted the correct versions of Norwegian royal banner from PNG til SVG files on 7 August of this year. All objections from Fry are now complied with. I have therefore reintroduced the official versiont to this article, so that it now conforms with its Norwegian counterpart. I expect the discussion to be settled now. Greetings from Lars Roede (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Thank you! I have now corrected some misleading wording and information in the article on the Norwegian national coat of arms.Hans Cappelen (talk) 08:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Coat of arms of Norway, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christiania (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Coats of arms of Norwegian royalty

As you seem to knowledgable in Norwegian heraldry, may I just ask if there really are a different set of arms for other members of the family (i.e. the Crown Prince having his coronet on top instead of the normal crown)? Is there a source for these different arms that appear on commons? Many thanks. :) --Re5x (talk) 13:04, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

The king and queen are using the official Norwegian royal armorial bearings with the stylized royal crown. I don't know if the crown prince uses the royal arms with his special crown or only the national coat of arms with his crown. All the heraldic shields of the members of the royal family have the coat of arms of Norway without any personal symbols inside the shields. A version of the special symbolic crown prince's crown is on top of the monogram of the crown prince at the website of the royal house of Norway: http://www.royalcourt.no/seksjon.html?tid=120988&sek=28430 Hans Cappelen (talk) 13:34, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

There is in Stockholm a painted plate for Crown Prince Haakon, as knight of the Swedish Royal Order of the Seraphim, with the shield of the Norwegian national coat of arms and on top of the shield a stylized Norwegian crown prince crown. Hans Cappelen (talk) 13:33, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
