Talk:Coat of arms of Syria

message: The Arabic of this would presumably be either شعار سورية (with 208 Google hits) or شعار سوريا (with 307 Google hits) -- depending on how you choose to spell Syria -- but I'm not sure how much including it would really add to the article... AnonMoos 21:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: شعار سوريا would be the better name to choose. This name is used officially in Syria. —Anas talk? 09:23, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There's an image of the ca. 1963-1971 coat of arms in "The international flag book in color" by Christian Fogd Pedersen, but due to the particular way it's printed, I'm quite uncertain about what several of the colors were.  Also, I'm not sure if the pre-1958 emblem was readopted during 1961-1963... AnonMoos (talk) 18:51, 6 June 2008
:Now :File:Coat of arms of Syria-1963.svg available, but I'm not sure based on what source.  The eagle in the "19:47, 23 December 2011" version of that file is probably closer to what is in the book... AnonMoos (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: 1960's coats of arms

message: I've removed the addition of the supposed 'new coat of arms' by Moester101, as by his own admission, he made it up himself along with the name 'Free Syrian Republic'. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 09:37, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm quite sure he doesn't. This coat of arms, and the name 'Free Syrian Republic', do not appear anywhere else besides in Moester101's creations. The rebels themselves do not use it. On the website of the Syrian National Council there is no sign of use of the term 'Free Syrian Republic' and the supposed 'new coat of arms' isn't to be found anywhere either. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 10:06, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

text: Of course, other countries are free to recognize the SNC as the legitimate government. However, the fact remains that the SNC isn't a government, nor does it view itself as such. It has not put forward anyone as rival president, nor has it presented its own ministerial team. You can't go inventing a government where there isn't one. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 10:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I could start yapping about how one side is more righteous than the other, but that the fact that Taal still doesn't get is what I have said before: A split infobox is necessary because the opposition has control over numerous cities while government control has been largely reduced to urban areas. So get over yourselves and get used to the split infobox. Whether or not the top leadership has agreed on a seal is irrelevent. What is important is the presence of large opposition inside the country, what actually comes out as their seal will be determined later, it is only temporary. The fact that this seal has become popular here says something about broader consensus. We can't have one infobox like you want simply because there is not entire consensus currently (and there never will be). Anyways, time to switch back to splitbox.Moester101 (talk) 13:01, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  While I seriously doubt the assertion that your homemade seal 'has become popular', it doesn't matter anyway. The simple fact is that this seal is not in use by any authority in Syria, so it can't be put on Wikipedia accompanied by the claim that this is somehow the seal of a rival government. - TaalVerbeteraar (talk) 18:30, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

text: Where is the decision of the NCS to proclaim it a country coat of arms? As it is not regularized as the country's CoA it can not be in this article. In order to add a coat of arms you must provide a source statig "this is coat of arms of the Syrian Arab Republic". Anythin that doesn't mention Syria as a country isn't good source. You must make a difference between an unrecognized government and a state, country. --Wustenfuchs 14:20, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
