Talk:Labyrinth of the Reims Cathedral

added a definition of canon, which is the word actually used (chanoines)
I got this from a catholic Q&A site so I am pretty sure it is accurate, but I feel the need to point this out as I had a small brain bubble and described the edit as "minor syntax changes." There were some of those too, mind, mostly about whether it was a good idea to use an definite article. Just saying, in case someone wants to say I am wrong. It's possible; I had to look it up. But it seem plausible enough to go with it.Elinruby (talk) 23:58, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Pierre or Hugues?
I googled Pierre Libergier, since the article seems to assume we know who he is (and what type of stone his tombstone is made of). Seems there is a very famous architect named Hugues who died at about the right time and erm, is entombed in Reims cathedral. I am also posting this question on the French page since yes, it does say Pierre over there. Elinruby (talk) 00:23, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

purpose was NOT to show the names of the masons
the labyrinth had a religious purpose. I believe the person who translated this this way was looking at "originalite"; however, I can't find the word used to mean original purpose and the sentence is totally wrong according to what I know of catholicism and medieval society. The far more common meaning is originality. Furthermore, if you look at the image, there are no names there. Elinruby (talk) 00:49, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

translation note redux
I see this is still on the list. I worked on it a little more but I am pretty tired of cathedrals. Someone else please work on this. Actual purpose of this note is to say that a rosace is a flower shape but the french wikipedia page is a disambiguation page and I don't know if the man put in a flower-shaped stained glass window or ceiling arched ot whatever. Do we have a cathedrals project I wonder?Elinruby (talk) 04:31, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
