I wonder if we can have only one correct representative of the coat of arms of Pope Francis. There are now 10 images in [[:Category:Coats of arms of Franciscus|the category]], and now none of them look exactly like the one in [http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/elezione/stemma-papa-francesco_it.html the official Vatican page]. Previously, there were 3 files ([[:File:Signum Francisci.svg|this]], [[:File:Coat of arms of Franciscus.svg|this]], and [[:File:Pope Francis CoA.svg|this]]) which looked very similar to [http://attualita.vatican.va/sala-stampa/bollettino/2013/03/18/news/30649.html the first released] coat of arms, and all the file creators seemed to want their pictures present in Commons and try to change the pictures to be very similar to one another. I mean, why can't we have just one file for this? [[User:Sentausa|Sentausa]] ([[User talk:Sentausa|talk]]) 16:04, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

: 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.
