Hello all !
[edit]Feel free to hit my talk page and create new sections for anything you'd like to discuss with me. I'd much rather discuss than bite.Jean-Mahmoud (talk) 08:38, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
Your edit summary: "Yes it is. A French city, has a French-styled shield. Yours isn't incorrect, but I don't know upon what do you base yours. I'm using the French Projet:Blasons ruleset which applies to every french city, on every wiki worldwide. Let's not start an edit war about it"

Hello,
I hope it works well discussing that in English. My French is far from a proper level for such.
My file is drawn based on the town's CoA shown in Christian Wolff (préf. Daniel Hoeffel), L'armorial des communes du Bas-Rhin, Strasbourg, Archives départementales du Bas-Rhin, 1995 (that one) which I have one book here.
What can be more correct than a Vector file based on an official drawing?
I see the main problem is, German WikiProjekt Wappen and French Projet:Blasons do work totally opposite. While y'all create blasons with (non heraldic!) 3d effect and force in a standard shield, German CoA work in Wikipedia bases on official work and drawings and see every CoA as a unique one. It's not "mass ware".
You say French ruleset applies on every wiki. Why should a work based on a ruleset with lower quality demands take priority over ones with higher quality demands?

|Hello ! |First of all, I'm alright about discussing in English, be not afraid. |Second, as for the file itself, you made a file from a vectorized drawing. Nothing wrong with that in itself. But — had you not seen it yet for any reason whichsoever — all vectorized versions of french Coats of Arms on Wikipedia are normalized. Same base shields, same parts, same colors on all shields (except for rare colors such as Purpure, Orangé, Tenné, Sanguine, Céleste and such). I get the "mass ware" feeling, but it's how we do. |Considering the "official work" you relate to "WikiProjekt Wappen" , I'm ok with that. We also do base ourself on proof before attributing a shield to a city. However, there might be a difference between heraldry in Germany and France : there might be an official service related to heraldry in Germany (or in some states at least), there's none in the French republic. |As for the "French ruleset on every wiki" thingie, it's just because it's a French city. Had it been a german one, I wouldn't even have interfered in the first place. |With most regards, --Jean-Mahmoud (talk) 14:34, 14 November 2019 (UTC)
