thread_title: Merger

message: "the Roman fasces, ... The axe symbolizes authority and leadership."  Uhhhhh, the axe symbolizes the death penalty.  It also symbolizes authority, sure, but these things have meaning. I understand why people would shy away from that factoid. Who knows what the original intent was in the First Territorial Assembly, the symbol certainly picked up some luggage 80 years later.  But the subtext of "Fit in with the bundle of sticks or we'll axe you to leave" goes way back to the Roman era. As does the symbolism of a frasces WITHOUT the axe head. Should the article be blunt about the symbolism of the fasces? 71.211.174.108 (talk) 17:56, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Seal of New York (state)

message: It seems that one of the symbols on the seal is omitted in the current version of this image. On the seal, Liberty has one foot on the crown (symbolizing freedom from Britain). Basically it should look like the Flag of New York. Here's the description of the seal at the official NYS site: http://www.dos.state.ny.us/kidsroom/nysfacts/seal2.html
Unfortunately there's something wrong with the image itself on that site, but the description clearly states: "A royal crown lies at her left foot, thrown down to illustrate the lessening of power of the English monarchy."

replies: text: I believe there is only one side to the 1925 seal, in which case it would have been impressed onto documents, either via a wax wafer in the manner of the UK Wafer Great Seal or directly embossed into the paper like the Irish presidential seal. The 1931 seal is a two-sided die that moulded a full wax cylinder attached to documents like the Great Seal of the Realm.

message: There are some files in the National Archives of Ireland which seem relevant to the replacement of the external seal by the Presidential seal after the 1949 republic:
# DFA/5/305/83/11 (1933 (!?)) "Presidential Forms (Letters of Credence etc.) after coming into operation of Republic of Ireland Act"
# PRES/1/P4260 (1949-1950) "Republic of Ireland Act, 1948: creation etc. of Presidential seal"
# TSCH/3/S2485 B (Aug 1955-Sep 1955) "External Great Seal: disposal of obsolete seal"
My guess is that #2 says "do we need a new external Presidential seal? No, let's just use the existing Presidential seal for all purposes"; and that #3 says "What will we do with the obsolete  seal? Give it to the national museum/national archives." jnestorius(talk) 08:40, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

While it's true that the Apollo Command/Service Module and the LEM would rendezvous with each other in lunar orbit after the LEM left the lunar surface, "Lunar Orbit Rendezvous" refers to both spacecraft being launched separately from Earth, and docking for the first time in lunar orbit, after having made their way to the moon separately, on individual rockets.
