Talk:Venetian plaster

The contents of this page are very, very similar to what's located at http://www.vasariplaster.com/venetian-plaster-history.html

I think that the commercial page copied from Wikipedia (without any attribution, naturally), but it's posisble that the Wikipedia article was copied from the commercial page, or even that BOTH copied from a third source.

Need a Wikipedian to research the textual history here and, if our page was stolen from the company's page or this possibly mythical third source, then we need to attribute rather than break copyright.

Help, someone!!!

Merge proposal[edit]

Polished plaster is a short, unreferenced article covering the self-same topic as this article, but by another name. I propose to effect a merge, leaving just a redirect, subject to other contributors' views. --Old Moonraker (talk) 15:43, 23 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you! --Anna —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.74.150.138 (talk) 02:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder: I had completely forgotten this. As "the term 'Venetian plaster' is mainly used between architects and designers in the US" I've changed my mind: "Venetian plaster" incorporated into the more general Polished plaster, especially following the recent, valid trim. No time soon: I've painted myself into a corner in a recent GA nomination and I now need to meet the deadline. --Old Moonraker (talk) 04:36, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So, someone's done it at last. I wasn't leaving it so that another editor would save me the trouble, but that's what's happened—thanks!
