Hello. I appreciate your additions and I responded to you over at the talk page of Transformation optics. Regarding negative index metamaterials, you wrote: Dispersion with frequency is a necessary but not sufficient condition for a negative index. I have seen this before in another article. It is really not clear, what you are attempting to say. Also, the not so well informed reader will probably have no idea either. First, what does this mean? Second, please keep in mind we are writing for other people. This realization dawned on me at some point after I started editing so this is easy to forget. Especially, when the scientific language is so accurate compared to popular press descriptions a lot of times. I am discovering if I use, or research, a mix of materials such as peer reviewed articles, text-book-type books, and magazine write ups I can get a better sense of what to communicate. Hopefully, I am being helpful. Anyway, thanks for your interest and contributions. ---- Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) ( talk) 06:55, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, regarding this same article the content added in the section entitled Original proposal appears to be outside of the scope of the reference for this particular section. The view is from permittivity and permeability. In other words, these are the parameters of interest in the cited journal article. And the journal article states, "To describe the EM properties of a material, two important parameters are introduced, that is, electric permittivity ε and magnetic permeability μ. In principle, if the ε and of materials are known, then the propagation of EM waves inside materials, or the EM phenomena at the surface between two materials can be well predicted."
In the second paragraph of the Wikipedia article, Negative index metamaterials, refraction is discussed as a phonomenem at the interface. And so does the journal article. Although stating there are other independent parameters may be true, it outside the scope, and dilutes the point that is being made. This may seem too narrow, but it is what works best at Wikipedia.

I haven't added references for all my edits yet on NIM or transformation optics pages etc, but do have some definite ones in mind. Feel free to add cite tags, which will help me remember where they need to be. RFenginerd ( talk) 00:29, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
