replies: text: As far as connections between the two symbols, Richard Barrett who runs the Crosstar group claims to have used the Arrowcross during the Vietnam War and says they adopted the symbol directly from the Hungarians because they saw it as an anti-communist symbol. But surely the articles should not be merged, since the Hungarian Arrow Cross is historically important, while Richard Barrett is just some farcical wannabe Führer with a practically non-existent white nationalist group. --67.149.150.252 (talk) 08:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  About the proposed merge into arrow cross party

message: To what extent is the ban upheld in Germany? For example, the Arrow Cross is a cursor in Windows XP when moving a dialog box after selecting the "move" command from the dropdown from a running task; does that mean that Windows XP is outlawed or at least censored in Germany? -- 李博杰  | —Talk contribs email 10:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would strongly doubt it (though there was a kerfuffle over the Diskeeper software made by a Scientologist-owned company).  It's more of a Hungarian concern than a German concern, in any case... AnonMoos (talk) 13:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clarification? 

message: This article is indeed minor with respect to Christianity, so minor that I'm surprised it's even in the category.
But it is more significant with respect to its historical and heraldic coverage. GeorgeTSLC (talk) 21:48, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Classification 

message: I don't know about "nonsensical", but the assertion that the arrow-heads resemble fish hooks is silly. And even fish-spears (which they do look a bit like) are never to my knowledge associated with the fish/icthys symbol.
Anyway, the whole of the first two paragraph is totally unsourced. But it's stood there since the very first version. If nobody can support it before next week, I'm going to come back and delete it, then see what happens.
In particular, the assertion about St. Ladislaus is quite probably false. There is a great dearth of evidence. Image-Googling on "saint ladislaus cross" finds only this article and one 1930s propaganda poster. Image-Googling on "Szent-László kereszt" finds the flags in the Hungarian wiki article about the cross but no other arrow cross whatever.
Moreover, the illumination at http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=F%C3%A1jl:Szent_L%C3%A1szl%C3%B3_legenda_2.jpg&filetimestamp=20090402150206, illustrating that Hungarian article (http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Hungarista_Mozgalom_jelk%C3%A9pei), shows what is clearly NOT an arrow cross on the saint's shield.

replies: text: The may not look like fish-hooks to you, but "Cross Barby" or "Barbee" is something of a traditional term in English blazoning -- see the text of an 1894 book at http://www.heraldsnet.org/saitou/parker/Jpglossc.htm , etc. AnonMoos (talk) 12:27, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
