Wikipedians on Forgery

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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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.

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

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

[edit] Counterfeit

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