So I've decided to halt the uploads for now, the reason is that your files gets "corrupted" somehow after you save a file. I have most of my files here on the site. I work with Illustrator and save a shield so that it is editable if anyone open it, meaning lines/strokes are not expanded to svg elements. Whenever you upload a new version of a file of "mine" that occur and I loose the possibility to fully edit the file (you can see my latest uploads). I remember that you use Inkscape so I need to figure out what can be changed in the save process so files are saved as in Illustrator. Hopefully I have solved this within a day. You are doing a massive work and I want to be able to use your files as well. :)
I still have the same issue (as below) that Illustrator crashes from time to time whenever I open one of your files/shields. I can edit Solo's files without any problems, NSamson's files are another issue as I can't open most of them. Thanks for the patience! I'll keep you posted about the 'save settings' JSpuller (talk) 16:10, 10 March 2021 (CET)

Yeah there seems to be an issue for quite some time now. It was me who had the problem of not being able to upload files I would edit from you, it started happening some time ago when you switched to newer version of illustrator...I think around v.16 or something but I somehow managed to circumvent it, but I know you probably have some problems with some of the files as inkscape and illustrator sometimes conflict with each other. I know as I use both, but I mostly work in inkscape as it's far more simpler and I can do most of the things I can do with illustrator without added complexity. My opinion of illustrator in general isn't very good...I find it a piece of s**t program with unnecessary added complexity...if you'll excuse my "french". ;) One of the issues is that you sometimes cannot open some more complex files from inkscape to illustrator...and I noticed such is the file with Rouvroy Sandricourt arms I uploaded earlier. I've tried everything but the problem is simply in how inkscape and illustrator are coded IMO. As far as Stolberg files you uploaded as an example I don't see the problem...I've uploaded my inkscape edited version and it loads fine and is identical to yours when both uploaded to illustrator. As for the other more complex file maybe you can use svg cleaner? I use to use it myself on some of your files or sometimes when I would edit your files if the trash additional code appeared. There is an online version here and I use to use this one as well and it worked quite well. Finellach (talk) 18:17, 10 March 2021 (CET)

Good evening, can I ask you why the pope shields are not fully complete? There are a few, among the most recent ones, with a blank white shield. It's just a "work in progress"? Thank you for your time. Filli99 (talk) 19:07, 13 August 2021 (CET)

Regarding the Sackvilles, I have a little more information yes. Heribrand the earliest ancestor temp. conquest held both those places in ssx and bucks in Domesday. The two families seem to be descended from two of his sons : Wm for Fawley and Robt for Buckhurst. The Fawley arms are 100% certain with a few testimonies from seals and armorials (including and, as early as the Glover Roll) and may very well be older than the quarterly arms (that would have been changed & derived from Vere early 13th c). Its a bit of a similar case to the Bassets with very distant cousin dating back from the conquest, and accounts/arms often mixed btw them (editing that dynasty page will be a mini-project on its own). It's entirely possible that the Fawley branch is the main one but it's also probably wise not too go to far in extrapolation here.
I will indeed have to rearrange the two Powell pages together when everything's finished (it can wait till then though : the roll I have long finished but I have yet to write an intro for it). To be honest I'm not a huge fan of having multiple clicks to get access to the heart of the content, but I'll admit an intro page à la Wijnbergen with the two links below will probably work best here. --Solo (talk) 23:48, 21 August 2021 (CEST)
