Shouldn't this be on the list of forgeries? --Celtic Minstrel 17:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. A glaring omission. --Wetman 19:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

WP Forgery Category

I see that article Forgery is now very sensibly placed in the Category: Forgery. This is certainly progress. Wetman 11:30, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Does Forgery Involve a Thing's Origin?

Doesn't forgery involve the intent to deceive specifically with regard to a thing's origin? I mean, there are a lot of obejcts you can create with the intention to deceive, and they are not therefore forgeries, nor ahve you engaged in forgery. For example, I could invent a serum that would let me beat lie detectors (supposing they worked), or I could (a le Wile E. Coyote paint a road onto a wall in order to trick someone with poor depth perception into walking into it. Neither is a case of forgery, but both appear to meet the criteria set out in this definition.

Is/are the Protocols of Zion (PZ) a forgery or merely an evil or criminal fiction?

• Forgery usually requires a resemblance.

But that's what is meant by counterfeit.

Does it make sense, some ask, to call the PZ a forgery

if there is no original of which it was made as a copy?

• And it seems that PZ if it/they are a plagiarism--can theY/it also be a forgery

Counterfeit

Counterfeit needs to be distinguished in this article from forgery. --Ludvikus (talk) 02:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

forgery as an important subject outside the art market

This article, and/or other articles (e.g. digital forensics), need a section or a link to a thorough discussion of techniques and motivations for faking photographs and audio/visual recordings, and ways of detecting such fakes. Forgery should be seen not only in the context of the art market, but also in the contexts of journalism, reliability of evidence in judicial proceedings, and political propaganda. There is some discussion of parts of the subject in the articles such as Media coverage of the Arab–Israeli conflict, and Photo_manipulation but the subject deserves unified coverage in its own right somewhere in Wikipedia. Perhaps it exists already, but I haven't been able to find it.CharlesHBennett (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
