message: The description of the Cross of Lorraine ("The lower bar is as close to the bottom of the vertical as the upper bar is to the top") doesn't match the images of the flag of Free France or the coin. Slicing 08:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Description vs. images 

message: The article on the Free French Forces attributes the idea for the cross's use as a symbol of the Free French to Captain Thierry d'Argenlieu not vice-amiral Émile Muselier. I don't know which is correct, but I'm sure someone can clear this up. Dusen189 (talk) 06:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: There should probably be an image of the historical use by dukes of Lorraine (as opposed to in central Europe), but I can't really find one except for the small crosses in image :File:Marriage of HRH The Duke of Lorraine and Mademoiselle (Élisabeth Chartlotte d'Orléans) celebrated at Fontainebleau 13 October 1698.png ...

message: The modern name of the Cross of Lorraine gave rise to fringe theories, because the Slovakian coat-of-arms depicts a similar symbol. Slovakia is thought to have been the location where the Byzantine Cyril and Methodius proselytized among the "Great" Moravians in the 9th century. According to a popular Slovak legend, Zwentibald of Lorraine brought the symbol of the double cross to Lorraine because he was the godson of Zwentibald of "Great" Moravia. Do we really need to mention a highly speculative legend, as per WP:Due? Especially, because we know that the cross was originally known as the Cross of Anjou and it became connected to Lorraine only after the Anjous inherited it in the 15th century.

message: Under the "miscellaneous appeareances", I think it might be good to include some comments on the symbol's significance within the Magnum, P.I. franchise. - knoodelhed (talk) 21:13, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
