Are you absolutely sure there are no more arms with baton and label above? I just found one more but I have a really strange feeling I missed at least two more out there. The reason why I reverted you. Anyway I rv back with slight modification (reduced lenght by a couple of pixels since they looked like touching almost) and updated the "bonus" one. Can you please check around? Would do it myself but am quite tired today...Finellach (talk) 19:45, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Why did you change the names and removed South Slavic orthographic letters? Also what you named "Eusebiovic" or whatever is well established to be Enzeblovic. And second, South Slavic names ending with an i such as Frankopani is a plural form of name...equivalent of writing it Frankopan's in English so it looks weird. There are also two other minor changes to Burmasovic which you renamed to Burmazovic and Dinjic to Diknic. You must understand that what is written in Fojnica (or Neoric armorial) is not an English variant of the name, it is a pre-standardized way of spelling, when certain sounds didn't have separate signs but were formed out of other letters or combinations of them. Also Korenic-Neoric is quite older armorial so if you are looking for a "standard" you should always go with the older source. Finellach (talk) 11:15, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Hmm...that is weird. I'll speak with Joakim about it. My goal was actually to change all South Slavic families to their proper orthographic form eventually...just didn't have to time to do it yet. I mean we already follow the same rule with the French, Hungarian and Scandinavian names who all have their proper diacritic form. I am really busy these days and I hate to start something I couldn't finish in one go... Finellach (talk) 11:55, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Also forgot to say - having non-diacritic variant for the name of the file/CoA itself is just fine, having it for a name on the page is just wrong. They should all be in proper standard native variant...this goes for all names on the site. See my previous argument for French, Scandinavian and Hungarian surnames. And it shouldn't be a problem in any case since we can have non-diacritic variant (f.e. pages of various families) as redirect. So if you have the page called House of Šubić you would also have a page House of Subic with a redirect. I don't see the issue. Finellach (talk) 12:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
