coat of arms of vermont hi i presume your request is related to my assessment of the article for the heraldry and vexillology wikiproject my reasoning was basically that it was too long to be a stub and didn't have ga status which meant it had to be either start or b class since it was on the short side i went for start having read it once again i can't immediately think of any content which could be added this is a problem i have with all coat of arms articles once you've said what it looks like when it was first used who designed it and any possible symbolism there's really not much else you can say unless the arms are old enough that you can trace the historical development having said that it would possibly be interesting to know why the state has both a seal and a coat of arms i would however take issue with your statement vermont is the only u s state to have authentic armorial bearings described in a blazon first what do you mean by an authentic coat of arms are there states which use fake coats of arms also given that the arms are an example of landscape heraldry you might find people arguing whether they are actually 'authentic' arms secondly a blazon is just a written description of a coat of arms given a picture of a coat of arms someone sufficiently experienced in heraldry can produce a blazon so there's nothing particularly unique about a coat of arms having a blazon in the european tradition it is in fact the blazon that defines the arms rather than the visual representation thirdly if you want to get picky blazon usually refers to the anglo french jargon used to describe coats of arms whereas the blazon of the coa of vermont is more like a layman's description although it does throw in a few heraldic terms i note that the external link you provide refers to the blazon as 'quasi heraldic terminology' finally vermont is not the only state which has a blazon enshrined in statute see coat of arms of north dakota for example regarding possible improvements i would be inclined to add subheadings e g history blazon vermonter's badge also now that you've added a couple of other sources it would probably be good to add citations to indicate which facts come from which source the external link says that the arms were not defined by statute until but the article says differently is the external site wrong quoting the statute numbers could possibly be useful a couple more images could also be good e g of the arms being used today or historical versions showing the 'considerable liberties taken'
