I have(/will) reverted the removal of the colour information and redirected the page Terracotta (color) to Terra cotta. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terra cotta (color), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fake color articles and Talk:Terra cotta (color).--blue520 17:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Baked earth
I believe there's a translation mistake of Terra Cotta, since in Italian Terra has several meanings. It can be the planet Earth, Soil or even Land. I believe that Terra Cotta is connected to the Soil (the material) and not to the planet. Mariano(t/c)
Hello Marianocecowski, Thank you for your comment but the entry noting the meaning being Italian for Baked Earth is valid as this is the translation given by the OED. In this context the earth will be the just that, earth. 'Earth' has a number of meanings also, including the planet and material extracted from the ground Kind regards, Andy
