I've said that light is sometimes called EM, but I'm not sure what should be done. Should this be moved to EM, should EM redirect here, or are they sufficently different to warrent 2 articles? (IMO they are exactly the same thing, but some people may argue that light only really means visible EM). -- Tango 11:34, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the interlangiage links on en:light and en:Electromagnetic radiation, a lot of languages have these two as separate articles, so I think we should too. Angela 16:38, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good reason. When I find time I'll go and read the en articles and see what they put where. -- Tango 17:02, 19 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

To be or not to be a stub[change source]

I still disagree this entry created in 2004 should remain a stub under Simple policy. ONaNcle (talk) 08:26, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think it should be. There's lot of hard-working effort put into this article and tho' it would be better if more expanded, certainly...it doesn't deserve the epithet of a stub anymore.Classical Esther (talk) 06:54, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
