thread_title: So, what exactly IS etching?

message: The correct spelling for the technique is "vernis mou", as it is the non-plural form in French. This is also the most common form in English and in German alike. Ref . Google gives 780 results for "vernis mous" and 20 000 results for "vernis mou". Thanks, Hugo Dufort 10:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Vernis mou" vs "Vernis mous

message: *User:Smack has taken it upon it himself (20 December 06) to put etching to a new disambiguation page. This was done without any consultation & I think this is a mistake, and the previous situation should be reverted to, for the following reasons:
*there was only one page called etching.
*it implies that what he calls etching (art) is not chemical etching, which is not the case.
*the only other item on the new page, Line art, is a mish-mash of a page & does not mention etching once in the main text, and has very little to do with etching. He describes it as "an improper use" himself.
*there was a perfectly adequate disam notice at the top of the etching article already, pointing to chemical etching:
:::This page discusses etching in connection with printing and art. For other industrial uses of etching see Chemical etching.  
:For the history of etching, see old master prints.
:In the United States, the term etching is sometimes used improperly to refer to line drawings done in pen and ink and other media.
*this will leave hundreds of "etching" and "etcher" references pointing here, which will take forever to sort out, & cause continuing confusion, hassle, and inefficient linkage.
*there was no proposal to do this. 
Please say if you Support or Oppose at the Talk:Etching page, Thanks!

message: A thorough description of the Relief etching technique and process, is required on the Variants: aquatint, soft-ground and relief etching section of the article. There are two other articles with longer descriptions: William Blake and All Religions are One articles.

replies: text: I've added a link to the second of these - thanks for that - and some text.  However as Blake was almost the only person to use his technique (whatever that was), I don't think a full description is needed here. Johnbod (talk) 03:56, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
