[edit] Merge
It seems probable that someone created this article without realizing that there was another article on the same topic but with the plural rendering of the term in the title. Suggest merging contents to the most commonly accepted usage (whichever that may be). --Lacatosias 07:28, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with merge. As for the titling issue...I think the plural is used most commonly (which is probably why that article is more substantial), but it seems like the Wikipedia style preference is for singular even in that case, so I could be convinced either way. -- JVinocur 23:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Agree with merge, preferrably to to Optic radiation (i.e. singular). Optic radiation refers to a single tract or a single collection of axons. Optic radiations refers to multiple tracts or multiple collections of axons. (Although many refer to each axon as a radiation and refer to a grouping of them as radiations, I think this is technically incorrect.) -AED 23:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Per the above, I merged Optic radiations to Optic radiation. -AED 06:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
