I have had a look through OldWitt and added to the Arms of the Gentry page on the wiki (http://wiki.talossa.com/Arms_of_the_Gentry) the grants from the 2015 Saint Aaron's Day Honours and the 2017 Independence Day Honours. The problem is, I don't have images to represent those grants of arms, so all I've been able to do thus far is list the holders name, blazon, and status.
If anyone has an image that can be used for the following people, please let me know:
@Txoteu Davinescu,
@Cresti Nouacastra,
@Jordan Placie,
@Audrada Roibeardet, and
@Ian Plätschisch and Eiric La Carita (former citizen).
I'm going to continue combing the archives, since I hope the 2017 honours is not the last time there has been a grant of arms (but it is the last one I can find on OldWitt).

I've also made the armorial table sortable to make it easier to find information.
That's amazing, Txec! Where did you find the time to do this? Truly superb work, thank you.

A meeting at work unexpectedly was canceled, so I had a spare hour!
I guess I must be having those somewhere since I helped in those projects.
Those were probably uploaded in the image folder of the old KOT website (or maybe I used a different file uploader). Can you guys help me with the links to the OldWitt section. Probably that'll clear the clouds in my head.
I remember the designs well enough and can re-draw. However, the armigers must be having the images with them.
Found a picture of my dad's arms:

Awesome! I'll add them to the armories tomorrow.

Okay, so except for the arms of Eiric La Carita, the Armorial is now up to date. Our newest applicant for the OAF volunteered to redraw the arms using the blazon, so hopefully soon the Armorial will be complete.

Thanks to the assistance of Carlüs Éovart Vilaçafat, the Armorial is now up to date with all Arms granted up until the present day.

Let's make that guy an OAF just as soon as his butt gets through the door.

Second.
And as the most recent holder of the vacant OAFship, gonna sock-puppet that one in order to third this idea.
That's right. We're micking RTCOA fellowships now. I did it. It's a thing. You're welcome. ;D

Sock-puppet...a very sensitive topic for some of our citizens.
Mick...I haven't seen that phrase used in quite some time. We used to do that alot, and its namesake, Sir Mick Preston, really
really disliked the term. :-)

Well seeing as he's already applied pre-citizenship, and he's enthusiastic, I'm in complete agreement.

Thank you all so much! I'm glad that my work pleases the College and I look forward to being of further assistance, once I'm able!

Oliphant here is referencing the ESB affair, an incident where a citizen created dozens of fake people and had them apply for citizenship, vote in elections, serve in the Cosa, and obtain arms.

I repeat:
I binge-read wikis as a hobby ;)
Putting on my admin hat...we are in danger of derailing this thread (myself included). Let's move on.
