some of the changes of 26th september 2012

[edit]

edit = rm "cornerstones"
rationale = confusing, as the cornerstone is *one* stone, whereas quoins on a building are many.

edit = rm sentence about rustic masonry situated low down in a building.
rationale = These layers extend away from the corners, so this information as presented -- while good and useful to know -- probably belongs on another WP page.

edit = rm 'If structural, quoins are usually part of load-bearing walls'
rationale = is this a tautology?
