I think this info should be added to the article. John Hyams (talk) 17:29, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scientific development 

message: Why is this article not merged with Invisibility? In particular, the scientific contributions (here and for Invisibility) are merely idiosyncratic versions of that in the metamaterial cloaking, varieties of cloaking theories, and other pages. In fact, I suggest all the detailed science from here and Invisibility is moved somewhere else, leaving only a few descriptive sentences and appropriate links.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.198.198.134 (talk) 18:00, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redundancy 

message: In the field of metamterials a new paper often critques a previous work, or method. New papers pertaining to cloaking do this also. This can include an overview of the weaknesses of the previous work. This is probably because the new paper is an advance, or progress in the field. And critiquing the other paper probably helps to illustrate the current work, and maybe ensures funding, and it is appropriate.  However, the critiqued work often advances (incrementally) and then critiques the work that critiqued it. Hence, there is no sure bet about which method will actually achieve broad band cloaking in the visible spectrum. Metamaterials and cloaking are in a constant state of flux, will be until a broad band invisibility cloak is produced (in 50 years ???). Hence, I have made some changes in this article.
I copy edited global statements and "forever-always" conclusions. I removed implied, or explicit, singular authorites of this sceince. This is a highly collaborative field, with many participants, and a number of approaches to cloaking. There is no way to predict the outcome - there is no way to know which methods will ultimately succeed. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 00:34, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: New article which might be useful

message: I am thinking doing some clean up on the section entitled "Cloaks of invisibility in science". On the other hand, it seems to do well in its current format. ---- Steve Quinn (talk) 06:17, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Section copy edit

message: The tarnkappe is probably most often associated with the dwarf Alberich, but association with Alp (folklore) is spurious, and I have removed it. The association is given in the Alp (folklore) citing three vampire handbooks, which have no independent value since the contents are so similar, and only one of the three (Maberry) says the hat worn by the Alp is the tarnkappe. So this is pretty much only citable to only one not so reliable source (fiction writer and not an academic who specializes in German lore). Furthermore, the three vampire references make an assertion that an alp is always found to be wearing a hat (or tarnkappe), which is patently false, since not every alp anecdote features a hat/cape of invisibility. Ergo, the three vampire sources are erroneous and not reliable on this subject. --Kiyoweap (talk) 02:50, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
