Where did I claim it to be authoritative? I 
presented it as an example of usage. Wikipedia 
was simply the first Google hit appropos to the usage.


If you want authoritative, there's the American Heritage Dictionary:


liquid glass –noun sodium silicate. - 
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/liquid%20glass


Or, if you want both an authoritative reference 
and an example of non-US usage, here's from a 
manufacturer's site in India: "Sodium Silicate Solution
Also known as water glass or liquid glass..." -
