Talk:Gold filled jewelry
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article originally had "gold-plated", with a hyphen. When I went to add the wiki link to the gold plated article I found it was "gold plated", without a hyphen. I think the no-hyphen spelling is correct but I'm far from an expert on this so I didn't mark the page as a minor edit and am hoping that wiser people than I can make the final call. Should it need a hyphen then there should probably be a complete search through the wikipedia to make all spellings consistent. Perhaps even if no-hyphen is agreed correct then a search for consistency should be done? Once again I'll leave the decision (and, the work, of course :-) to others.

Ahh - I now see that there is another problem. The gold plated article says that mechanical bonding of gold is called gilding while this page clearly defines gold filling as a chemical bond of gold. Once again, someone who knows more on this subject than I should either update one or both of the articles so that they are consistent. I suspect both gold filling and gilding are correct terms and the pages need to say that there "gold filling or gilding" or something like that. Once again, I'm not an expert, just a nitpicker.
