Apparent innacuracies[edit]

copied from User talk:HLHJ: The drawing at "Notre Dame 531 transverse crop rot.jpg" is probably by Violet le Duc, the 19th century resporer, the same guy who added the fleche that fell through the vaukt. The photograph that you have used for comparison seem to me to show an entirely 19th century structure, not a Medieval one. So that rather than being "inaccurate", the drawing (whoever it is by) almost certainly shows the roof as it was at some time in the 19th century. Amandajm (talk) 13:39, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That would make sense, Amandajm; the truss as destroyed in 2019 seems rather sophisticated for a Gothic original, and more reasonable as a 19th-century additions to the same. I have modified accordingly. I'm leaving the "fact" tag, as a version of this image is widely misused to illustrate the 2019 fire and I want a translingual way to alert people.
