[edit] Removed
I removed "Currently, mosaics can be used as a way of censorship." I have no idea what this means, and there was no explanation given. Joyous (talk) 02:35, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
- That was probably referring to pixelization. Goplat 01:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I removed the piece of a mosaic of G. Bush a a hotel in Bagdad, very irrelevant seen from the arts point-of-view... politcs!
[edit] Etymology
I've read the term derives from the muses. I've also read that mosaic refers to Moses the prophet (mosaic law). Which is the correct one ?
[edit] Browser
Where is mosaic, the original internet browser (well the 1st one I ever used anyway!)
- See Mosaic (web browser). Joyous | Talk 16:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
what does progressively visible mean?

Rather than put them back - discuss them here --Nigel (Talk) 20:40, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Process of creating mosaics
Perhaps this page could use some information about how mosaics are made and the process involved in creating them. Matt 06:09, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coin Mosaics
Does it make sense to add a section about modern or alternative types of mosaics? For instance, check out www.CoinMosaics.com, which is a site by two artists who employ an innovative way of using coins to create mosaics? Mwbseiso (talk) 16:44, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I think the article should be about mosaics with some degree of importance in art history, not ephemeral innovations. Zello (talk) 17:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] history section
Mosaics were extremely popular visual art in the pre-Christian Rome and throughout the imperium. The first main section here is Early Christian; aren't we missing something? Arthurian Legend (talk) 00:07, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes we are. The Roman section is still missing, I would like to write it in the future, but I need more free time to do my research. Zello (talk) 02:19, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
