Speculation on Gertrud:
her name might be based on Gertrud Jekyll, an English garden designer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Jekyll
She worked together with an architect (there's lots of classical architecture in ep 1), she was into photography and the Jekyll gives it a nice touch.
Doesn't explain the Eiffeltower though.
or Joséphine de Beauharnais, wife of Napoleon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephine_Beauharnais
Known as Rose until she married Napoleon, and she patronized the development of rose breeding at her gardens at Malmaison. (see Rose wiki). Might explain the crowns on the butterflies.
Lose observation: Eiffeltower brings to mind the Exposition Universelle (1889). Around that same time George Eastman developed the technology of film to replace photographic plates.

We need: More pictures from the barrier, more pictures from the witch herself, a picture of her grief seed, a barrier article and a general analyzation of what happened in her barrier and how she exactly fought Mami. -- Madokaanon 12:56, 19 January 2011 (CST)

Added to the wishlist. I think you should post these kind of stuff there, it has a better visibility than the talkpages --Homerun-chan 13:25, 19 January 2011 (CST)

i was putting up the translation of faust quote on the exit and the table broke. --Saveol2009 08:51, 20 January 2011 (CST)

Fixed, though I think the Faust references are better located in Facts_and_Observations, since they are not really a part of the barrier. Mic2070 08:59, 20 January 2011 (CST)
i dont think the barrier is only limited by those doors. all the other quotes are there too. --Saveol2009 09:05, 20 January 2011 (CST)
Now that I think about it, the quotes aren't exactly in the barrier so I think we should move them back.
its not even moved. i didnt delete it. its still there --Saveol2009 09:10, 20 January 2011 (CST)
I am in favour of obliterating them from this page. Himmel 09:13, 20 January 2011 (CST)
why? its not like they cant coexist and i think its not the same content on the trivia page. --Saveol2009 09:16, 20 January 2011 (CST)
We are not sure whether the Faust quote is really that big of a plot point and not just some "fun fact" that's why I think it should stay in the trivia. --Madokaanon 09:20, 20 January 2011 (CST)
>is really that big of a plot point and not just some "fun fact" .that is boring --Saveol2009 09:35, 20 January 2011 (CST)
Come on, undo it to the previous version without Faustian text on the wall, it doesn't belong to this article. Are you telling us that we should move all the Faustian references from the inside of the barrier to this page too? Commie 09:28, 20 January 2011 (CST)
why not? for easier viewing if the page accumulates too large of a content we can split the Gertrude barrier onto a different page --Saveol2009 09:35, 20 January 2011 (CST)

i got new content and i think it will make this page too big and will not be pleasant to read. i am moving it to location -> Gertrude's lair --Saveol2009 16:13, 20 January 2011 (CST)
