message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Optics. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
*Attempted to fix sourcing for http://dbhs.wvusd.k12.ca.us/webdocs/Chem-History/Bohr/Bohr-1913a.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at ).

:This claim is made also in History of Optics; both articles would benefit from a citation which I have as yet been unable to discover. Any historians or physicists who can help out?TimeForLunch (talk) 15:02, 23 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Editors of this article may be interested in the discussion at Talk:Silicon photonics#Fiber Optics & Silicon photonics. User:Ne0Freedom is trying to remove :Category:Fiber optics from :Category:Optics and instead put it in his newly created category, :Category:Silicon photonics. I strongly oppose this. His view seems to be based on the misconception that anything optical with silicon in it (even silicon dioxide—glass) is automatically "silicon photonics".--Srleffler (talk) 01:52, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
