message: It is probably excessive to link the labyrinth directly to the architects, as it clearly served a liturgical function in the Late mediaeval, discussed extensively by Yale's Professor of the History of Music Craig Wright, in his The Maze and The Warrior. A considerable number existed, and some important ones survive, such as the Westminster Abbey Cosmati Pavement. The symbolism implied is part of the later Freemasonic identification of the hypothetical roots of their creed, which remain unproven: until such claims are documented by hard evidence, I would suggest a looser phrasing be sought on NPOV grounds. Indeed, it is probably more defensible on the basis of purely historical evidence that the anagogic nature described by Craig Wright and overtly stated in the Westminster mappa mundi is more in line with the alchemical practices of the period, which may then have been picked up by the Freemasons in the beliefs of Newton and Leibnitz.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.196.68.145 (talk) 22:17, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The picture in question shows Charles VII's coronation in 1429, not 1422, this is evident as Joan of Arc is in it. Joan of Arc did not appear until 1425, the coronation depicted took place on 17th July 1429.
sources: C. Allmand, The Hundred Years War (Cambridge, 1988) p. 33-4
To quote the wikipedia article
"After it fell the English held Reims and the Cathedral until 1429 when it was liberated by Joan of Arc which allowed the Dauphin Charles to be crowned king on 17 July 1429."
which contradicts the 1422 date given for the picture.

replies: text: Thanks for correcting me and alerting me to this. When I reverted you, I only looked at the beginning of his reign. This is a good example of how a little edit summary can be of help. I reverted my change, and fixed the coronation date on the Charles VII article as well. Eric talk 20:16, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

message: The building preceding "This building" is the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.  So unless we mean to confuse or be opaque, we should clarify what 'This building' is. Alanscottwalker (talk) 18:19, 17 December 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, good catch! Sorry, I guess I wasn't reading that passage as thoroughly as I thought. So in your latest edit you are referring to Notre-Dame de Reims as "Reims' St. Mary's", yes? I get that, but it could trip some people up who don't already have Notre-Dame, St Mary('s), Our Lady, Santa Maria, etc, as interchangeable in their heads. Should we maybe put it back to your "the Reims church, measuring..." (insert sheepish emoji here). Eric talk 21:51, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The file name of the attached sound file "Cathedrale de Nothre Dame.ogg" is written wrongly. There shouldn´t be an "h" in "Nothre".
This letter has to be deleted. As far as I know the cathedral is named "Notre Dame".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.14.150.138 (talk) 04:26, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Eric, thanks for your constructive edits.  I do have a question about one edit:  you describe the nave as if it's the entire main floor of the Cathedral, but technically the nave is only the area  between the west end and the transept. The transept is not part of the nave, nor is the choir. For clarity, I would to change that part of the sentence back to its original form. Cordially, SiefkinDR (talk) 18:07, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, yes, that was an inadvertent blunder. See what you think of my reword. Eric talk 19:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
