Talk:Gemology

Hello I am Jeremy Paramore and I'm sure iv got a big enigma 💎 can u help me please

Wikification

 * There are a lot of errors and omissions in the text that stand to be corrected. The approach to this page should be systematic, i.e., wikified like the pages dedicated to gemstones species. I am an editor for The Gemology Project which is a "wiki." It can be accessed through http://www.GemologyOnline..com There are other gemologists here who probably don't know about this page yet. I will try to pass the word. Good work on a good start here! T.E. Goodwin 22:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

 * The Wikipedia article "Diamond Simulant" is very well written in my opinion and contains a lot of important information that can be incorporated into this article. Would that be considered "plagiarism" here or just plain redundancy? T.E. Goodwin 10:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I listed my other alma mater, Santiago Canyon College, with their Department of Gemology as a public educational and accredited (!) resource. T.E. Goodwin 00:46, 13
 * I think that GIA London and GIA should be reversed. GIA, Carlsbad, is after all the headquarters not the London campus. Right? T.E. Goodwin 01:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Identification by Magnification
I added this today, since the article has been discussing magnification. This section should concern the use of loupes and microscopes in gem identification and the separation of laboratory-created gemstones from their natural counterparts. Also, a sub-section should address the use of magnification to determine color treatment by analysis of heat-altered inclusions. Go for it! T.E. Goodwin 00:02, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Identification by Spectroscopy
The selective absorption and transmission of certain wavelengths of light through a material has little to do with refraction of white light within the material itself. I find the article misleading on that point. Does anyone else? Benjamander (talk) 22:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Gemology → Gemmology – The word comes from the Latin word "gemma", plus the suffix "-ology". Such words should be based on Latin or (better) Greek, not on an English word like "gem". Both words are in Wiktionary, but with a more complete entry for the spelling with two m's. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 07:54, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment - the difference is American English and British English isn't it? Hence the Gemological Institute of America and the Gemmological Association of Great Britain. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:56, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose both are English, there's no reason to change it, "gemma" is not English, so no reason to change it. -- 76.65.128.222 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:14, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Gemology is the more commonly used of the two spellings. Apteva (talk) 02:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per In ictu oculi, trusting your research. As for "Such words should be based on Latin or (better) Greek" (emphasis added), well, WP:UCN and History of the English language and etymology and WP:RS and WP:V and other similar pages might help. Red Slash 10:05, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:RETAIN. --BDD (talk) 17:41, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. I'm British and I'd spell it gemology. The other spelling is not common anywhere. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:32, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
