Flags of Hanover[edit]

As far, as I understand, that flag that is now in the article is the flag, that has been in use from 1837-1866. Before that from 1692 till 1837 this flag was in use:File:Flag of Hanover (1692).gif. Could both flags be shown in the infobox? Anne-theater (talk) 23:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The flag shown here is absolutely wrong! The coat of arms in the center of the flag - in this form - is that of Lower Saxony in its official original mould as it is registered at the state archives. Which was designed after WW II, a time the kingdom of Hanover didn't exist any longer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.150.98.104 (talk) 17:00, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Person Union with the United Kingdom[edit]

The page states that Hanover had a personal union with the United Kingdom from 1814 to 1837. However, the Personal union page stated that the union began in 1714. That makes sense, as both George I and George II were both part of the House of Hanover. Could someone fix this mistake? --75.68.122.13 (talk) 19:42, 22 February 2015 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian[reply]

Meaning of the motto[edit]

This article translates "Suscipere et Finire" as "Support and Finish". This does not seem very meaningful as a motto, and indeed seems a mistranslation of the Latin meaning. "Suscipere" (composition of "sub" and the verb "capere"; the verb "capere" has as its main meaning "to catch, to take") may mean "to support", in some contexts, but also "to take up" hence "to take a task upon oneself". Hence a proper translation may be "to undertake and to accomplish" (as at https://eudict.com/?lang=lateng&word=suscipere%20et%20finire ) or "to undertake and to finish", or if one does not like the hyper-impersonal rhetorical form of such mottos, one can paraphrase it as "what we start, we finish".
