Philippa or Margaret?

Hello! Based solely on the mysterious arms that this woman is holding (not on the possibly erroneous text below her), who is she? It has been asserted both that she is King Eric the Pomeranian's English wife Philippa (which would make sense in the context of this pictorial family tree) and his adoptive mother & grandaunt Margaret I of Denmark. What would be your educated guess? --SergeWoodzing (talk) 01:14, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

@Sarang: and others. WikiProject name has been changed, because to mirror enwiki WikiProject name. We should systematically mirror enwiki WikiProject names to avoid misunderstandings--Estopedist1 (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2020 (UTC)

Possibly miscategorized image

This image is in Category:Lions passant in heraldry. I am not an expert, but this figure doesn't look passant to me. Doesn't passant require at least three paws to be on the ground, and the body to be horizontal? Is this one possibly rampant or salient? --Auntof6 (talk) 18:46, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

I agree with you. This lion is not passant. --Massimop (talk) 16:11, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Historical national CoA category naming

How do we usually interpret category names like "Coats of arms of %historical_country_name%"? I assume those should include state CoAs as well as county, city etc. Are we supposed to create categories like "National coats of arms of %historical_country_name%" to exclude those even if the country well predates nationalism?

@Ain92: , isn't this already the case? For example "Category:Coats of arms of Prussia" is solely about the Prussian coat of arms and not that of modern Germany. --Donald Trung 『徵國單』 (No Fake News 💬) (WikiProject Numismatics 💴) (Articles 📚) 21:58, 20 February 2021 (UTC)
