==Graftons and Burleys' COA are incorrect==
Hi. The triangles in the coats of arms of [[House Grafton]] [[File: House Grafton.svg|50px]] and [[House Burley]] [[File: House Burley.svg|50px]] should be fixed, since they are not proper piles. According to heraldry regulation, the corners of a pile [http://rampart.outlandsheralds.org/lessons/blurring1.html should not overlap with the corners of the shield]. A proper pile is [[House Mollen]]'s [[File:House_Mollen.svg|50px]], for example. Could you fix the mistake? I thank you in advance. --[[User:Somnium Draconis|Somnium Draconis]] ([[User talk:Somnium Draconis|talk]]) 14:51, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
:Thank you for noticing the mistake. I corrected them, but it might take a few days before the cache clears up. [[User:Abjiklam|Abjiklam]] ([[User talk:Abjiklam|talk]]) 19:26, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

:What about an inverted pile, as in [[:File:House Lefford.svg]]? It isn't technically touching any corners other than the pointy end but maybe it should be the same thickness as the other piles for consistency. [[User:Potsk|Potsk]] ([[User talk:Potsk|talk]]) 20:50, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

:Jumping on the conversation here. Judging by the definition of a heraldric pile given by Somnium Draconis and the other examples of I've seen with a quick Google search, shouldn't the pile be longer and thus closer to the base of the shield while not touching it ? I know the terms "nearly reaching" and "almost reaching" are somewhat vague but I would personally opt for longer piles. I have no idea how it works for the inverted pile (I'm guessing the same principe applies) which would make Ran's sigil inaccurate as well as some other Houses's. --[[User:Thomaerys Velaryon|Thomaerys Velaryon]] ([[User talk:Thomaerys Velaryon|talk]]) 21:13, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
::Yeah I saw multiple examples with longer piles. For now I just used one that matched the correct example cited by Somnium Draconis. Of course that can change if needed. One reason not to bring the pile closer to the edge, at least for the inverted pile, is that House Whitehill needs some space between the tip of the pile and the edge.
