: We always want more :-) It's not Commons' position to edit down to a "best" one, as that can be different ones depending on the situation. So, we try to provide as many alternatives as possible. Besides, when it comes to coats of arms, it's not like logos -- any drawing which conforms to the [[:en:blazon]] is a "correct" drawing. There are usually going to be many valid versions.

:As I said on the other page, in traditional European heraldry, there's not necessarily only "one correct picture" of a coat of arms -- many different artistic renderings based on the authoritative textual [[:en:blazon|blazon]] may all be acceptable. In any case, there is a [[Commons:Deletion requests/Fictional Papal Arms‎|poorly-timed and poorly-supported deletion nomination]] which complicates clean-up until it's resolved...
