Correction to Lead

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Optica Fellow. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Explanation: Replace lead with update text to remove references to "of america" in society name, it should be just The Optical Society, please see Talk:The_Optical_Society#"The_Optical_Society"_new_legal_name_or_current_trade_name?. Provide updated citations and corrected description of designation to make it clear that it is related to scientific accomplishments in specific disciplines.
