Painterwork
After reading this EB-11 article, I came to the conclusion that it doesn't apply today → A z a  Toth 20:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep and cleanup, possibly move to more appropriate title, possibly Painting techniques (currently a category with no main article by that name), merging any excessive content from the individual sections to the appropriate articles, leaving only a brief description. Add links to main articles where appropriate, such as Marbling. All of these techniques are still being used, and are considered skilled labour techniques. Some, such as gilding, are considered practically art forms, and skilled gilders are in demand. Consider also the historical aspect. KillerChihuahua?!? 11:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: those working on cleaning up and updating the 1911 Britannica articles have expressed a desire to keep such articles for the time being so that they are not mistakenly reuploaded (with all of the OCR errors and formatting, it takes a lot of work just to cleanup the articles enough to be able to post them to Wikipedia, let alone update them, so this is not a trivial amount of work). -- Kjkolb 12:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
