[edit] Merge
Mouseprint is on the exact same topic as this article, and should be merged into here. It is a more extensive article than this one, but uses a much more obscure word for this topic. --Xyzzyplugh 14:02, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Agree. I'd never before heard of the word "mouseprint", and find the topics to be the same (note: the text editor here doesn't even think that "mouseprint" is word). --Person_man345 18:26, 30 April 2007 (EST)
After reading the Small Print article, I believe that Mouseprint belongs in a separate article, with 'See Other' links on each page to lead to the other. The term 'mouseprint' has been more widely used by the media than small print in criticizing the practice, and there is a website designed to educate and alert the public to the concept called 'mouseprint.org.' While 'small print' can refer to a lot of different issues, 'mouseprint' is the term applied specifically to small print that is intended to deceive. Sebwite 18:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Merge this into mouseprint: The mouseprint article has more information than this one. Therefore, small print should be merged into that. I have started to reconstruct the mouseprint article, and after that, I will look into merging this, giving mention to at least three terms as possible names for the concept.

- There is also an article on fine print which probably could be merge into or from... AndrewRH 18:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
