[edit] Information Sources
Some of the text in this entry was rewritten from Los Alamos National Laboratory - Holmium. Additional text was taken directly from the Elements database 20001107 (via dict.org) and from WordNet (r) 1.7 (via dict.org). Data for the table was obtained from the sources listed on the subject page and Wikipedia:WikiProject Elements but was reformatted and converted into SI units.

[edit] "Newtonium"
Why does Newtonium redirect to this page? There's no reference to anything called "Newtonium" (which, IIRC, isn't actually the name of an element) or Issac Newton in the article. Purifiedwater 06:09, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
I would also press this question. At a group bar trivia night we had a question about whether "Newtonium" was a legitimate element or not and in browsing the information after that fact it redirected here. Why is this? Muaddib 03:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
- I've redirected newtonium to coronium. See the coronium article for details. --Itub (talk) 16:05, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Applications
The article states that Holmium Oxide is used to add a yellow coloring to glass, although this is true under flourescent lighting, under incandescent lighting the pigmentation is red, as described in an earlier part of the article. Either there is a mthod of synthesis whereby the yellow coloring can be made permanent or the section should be changed appropriately. Also Holmium glass should read Holmium containing glass?
