:I think the "Criticism of Symbolism" section is from as neutral a position as possible, though I disagree with the information given. It's still criticism that has been levied against the seal. I would disagree with the inclusion in the opening paragraph of the article, however, and move for its removal from there. Horizons 1 (talk) 22:07, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm going to remove the criticism from the opening paragraph, as it's nearly verbatim a clone of the entire section later in the article. Horizons 1 (talk) 15:05, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism of Symbolism 

message: Hey all,
I think one of the this article's difficulties is the fact that the criticism of the previous seal(s) is not unique to any one individual seal, but to the entire motif and series of historic seals. So the problem arises, where to put the section on criticism. After the most previous seal? In its own section under history? I don't know the right answer here. I think a potential rewrite could be History section, subheadings for each of the various iterations, followed by one criticism subheading for the historic seal. Calling it the 1858 seal in the context of criticism is confusing since the critique is for multiple versions, not just that one.
Sorry for rambling, I'm just trying to make my thoughts coherent about this. TheSavageNorwegian 16:53, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
