Talk:Coat of arms of Canberra

message: The motto was originally rege, lege, grege, which is not "for the Queen, the Law and the People" (as shown on the coat of arms), in that:
* rex is "king", not "queen"
* greges is "the great unwashed", the "lower orders"
:Actually the translation seems to be correct and is used by Debrett's Peerage. The motto is used by a number of other cities. 
I can only find references for the motto being the correct English translation for Pro Rege, Lege et Grege. There is no reference to mobs etc

replies: text: The translation is correct. Compare with the motto of the Danish royal guards: "Pro Rege et Grege" = "For King and People". 89.239.209.112 (talk) 21:13, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Coat of arms of the Australian Capital Territory →  – As the ACT government is in the process of designing a coat of arms for the territory that will exist alongside the city coat of arms (expected to be completed by 2024), the name "Coat of arms of the Australian Capital Territory" is no longer the common name for the Canberra coat of arms as determined by independent, reliable, English-language sources (WP:Commonname). See these various reports of the design process that exclusively use the term Coat of Arms of the ACT to refer to the proposed new design:
* ABC report 2021
* RiotACT 2019
* RiotACT 2021
* Canberra Daily 2021
* Canberra Times 2018
* Canberra Times 2019
See also the various reports produced by the government on the new coat of arms
* Main consultation website
* Report of inquiry into the change
* Government response
Additionally, official pages about the coat of arms use the name Canberra Coat of Arms
* ACT Flags and Emblems
The current name could cause confusion to those looking for info about the proposed ACT Coat of Arms when they are directed to a page about the existing one. Safes007 (talk) 04:49, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

text: Strong Support : Though I recognise the outcomes of the previous move request did not result in a move, the 2024 circumstances are considerably different from those in 2017 and 2019 when the concept of a distinct Territory Coat of Arms was not on the cards, or just a hypothetical. We face a very real probability that a new ACT Coat of Arms of will be announced, but an imposter will inhabit its Wikipedia page. I also strongly support the move suggestion on the basic principle that it is and has been misnamed for many years, which has in some part (despite the efforts of official sources) exacerbated the ‘de facto’ nomenclature used to support the current naming.
