message: The Latin of Elizabeth II's seal is pretty clearly indicating that she's the queen of Britain (or maybe "the Britains?") -- Britanniarum, but in the English translation her English-language title of "Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is given instead. --Jfruh (talk) 15:36, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This English translation certainly isn't as literal as the others are. It is the full title of which the Latin is the official translation, apparently. Perhaps there ought to be two English translations here, the literal and the official? As it is, it may be confusing to anyone trying to decipher the Latin. Cymrodor (talk) 00:33, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Her Majesty's title is defined by an Order in Counsel, which gives an official English version and an official Latin version.  In the Latin version "of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is rendered "Britanniarum", which literally means "of the Britains" (not "of the Britons", which would be Britanniorum).

message: We have an article on the Lord Keeper of the Great Seal but no article or section on Commissioner of the Great Seal. Rich Farmbrough, 14:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

message: It needs to be made clear which seal is being used. For example Henry VIII had three seals during his reign. He was not style Defender of the Faith until after the Pope said he was, and he did not become King of Ireland until some time after his reign started (before that he was style like his father Lord of Ireland).
In the long term I would suggest that the years in which a seal was in used is added to the article, but in the short term, it would be useful to note if a monarch had more than one great seal.

message: I'd like to explain my recent reverts. I believe this version  is poorly written because the lead sentence focuses on the union of Scotland and England to form Great Britain -- no where in it does it explain what seal is. This is in violation of WP:LEAD, which states "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic. It should identify the topic, establish context, explain why the topic is notable, and summarize the most important points."The version I've tried reverting to  does explain what the seal is and complies with WP:LEAD.

message: Researching the seal of William & Mary I read the legend here as ending 'Golden apples grow in flowering rosebushes : The security of Britain restored.' but this is not the right inscription, it is one taken from a commemorative coronation medal. I found this in D. Macleane The great solemnity of the coronation... (London 1911) pp. 168-169 but there was no citation provided for the incorrect original. None of the other seal legends on the page have been cited, and may be similarly inaccurate. Corinthians2021 (talk) 12:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
