three similar elements with a common center. (Look at
Knowledge (XXG)'s own assertion on what the Coronet of a Duke in the United Kingdom looks like to see strawberry-leaves.) Those are crosses, as they have FOUR similar elements from a common center, and WIKIPEDIA'S OWN ARTICLE on the Honours of Scotland says those are "crosses fleury". Also, you should be able to tell at a glance, without counting, that this rim can't possibly have only eight (four of each) ornaments on it. It takes some working out, but it probably has 20 ornaments, or 10 of each, on it. There's a way someone could miscount the ornaments and get, say, 12, or 10, but not eight. It indicates that someone simply didn't count them but pasted text without verifying it against any photo. (There is a progression of five ornaments from the footing of one half-arch to the footing of the next half-arch. That's 20, going all around. The front-to-back half-arch springs from, at both ends, a cross fleury, and the left-to-right half-arch springs from, at both ends, a fleur-de-lis. If the cross on top of the crown is not visible as a cross to someone looking at the Monarch's face, but, rather, rides in the plane of travel and so is visible as a cross only from the sides, then the reverse of what I said about the arches' terminals is true.)
711:
reconciled with mentions of this Crown in other
Knowledge (XXG) pages, and that such an editor doesn't promptly have their edits reverted and isn't promptly banned for life (as should be done for someone posting a photo of a horse's skull with xyz number of teeth simultaneous with text from "Learned Authorities" asserting (in a "reliable published source") that the number of teeth in a horse's skull is vastly smaller or vastly greater than xyz), this is why Knowledge (XXG) has the dismal reputation that it has. There are endless articles that are contradicted by other articles, and yet someone pointing out that two contradictory articles cannot be true just has their talk-comments erased with the admonishment "Knowledge (XXG) cannot be used as sources for Knowledge (XXG)". So, your position is that two contradictory things (two articles, or a paragraph of text contradicted by a photograph) CAN be true. How is that enhancing your reputation?
691:
child I read about what "science" was like, in the days before it was scientific. People would cite various authorities as to how many teeth a horse had. Then one day, some person whose name I no longer remember decided that maybe the way to settle the question was to count the teeth on a horse. He counted the teeth on all of the living horses he owned. The stable staff were told to notify him of equine deaths, and he would get the skulls and count the teeth. He published his findings. In doing so, he impugned the integrity of a great many
Learned Doctors, and was thus banned from the community of learned discourse.

And yet with
Knowledge (XXG) we are still no further along than that. Any child can count the ornaments on the rim of this Crown and while it's hard to find a photo that enables you to count clearly you can tell AT ONCE that it can't be only eight. (Eight would simply be all the arch-footings and one

The greater concern here is not that
Knowledge (XXG) is spreading highly incorrect information about what is almost certainly TEN crosses fleury and cannot POSSIBLY be FOUR strawberry-leaves on the rim of this Crown. The problem has to do with living in a post-truth post-fact authoritarian age. As a

As of the date of this Talk-page post, the article says the Crown's rim is ornamented with four strawberry-leaves alternating with four fleur-de-lis. Anyone who looks at any photo of this Crown anywhere on the internet can see that that is blatantly wrong. Those aren't strawberry-leaves, which have

Here, the "it" in "its abolition" seems to refer to "the crown", but I gather the Crown of
Scotland has never been abolished. I suspect it was the county of Kincardineshire that was abolished in 1975. In any case, the sentence needs to be rewritten by some knowledgeable editor to remove the
