If we are going to have a picture of a baron in the Encyclopedia Westarctica article on barons, shouldn't we have a picture of either a symbol for the rank like a coronet (which so far as I know does not yet exist...?) or a picture of one of our barons looking, well, "baronly" somehow (and right there, I am unvoting myself)? Since we aren't really offering to teach the public about the world's peers but mostly our own peerage system and who is within it and what it all means, yes?

We could have a picture of you in your baronial garb! User:Westarctica

There is actually already a Barony coronet, as evidenced by three (I believe) arms to feature it shared in the Citizens of Westarctica Facebook group. Not directly pertinent, but worth pointing out is that, although extended to use in Westarctica as a courtesy, it is worth pointing out that His Lordship's title is Calsaharan in origin. Any arms used by him wouldn't use the blue-felted English coronet featured in the Westarctican tradition. Instead, it would need to fall in line with the less well-defined Calsaharan tradition. The King of Arms and Grand Duke approved the use of the coronet of a Prince of the Brazilian Empire for my arms as Prince of Rhye. While there has not been a Baronial one created yet specifically, It would likely need to be made by the King of Arms, unless His Lordship was happy with Brazil's Baronial one.
