I just read in [Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nikon_compatible_lenses_with_integrated_autofocus-motor

Nikon VR/Sigma OS/Tamron VC/Tokina VCM: Optical image stabilization, also called Vibration Reduction, indicated green background, a system used to compensate for vibration and other camera movement.

And I couldn't find any reference to that "green background". What does that mean ?

@chills42 - Interesting, I never thought of too localized in time. I need to think in 4D more :) – Itai Sep 10 '12 at 14:21
@chills42 Yes, I didn't thought of it being too localized because I though it was a new(old) technology that I never heard off... – woliveirajr Sep 10 '12 at 14:25
Its too localized in the sense that the question only had merit in relation to a specific wikipedia article, one which could easily be corrected (if it indeed was incorrect), thereby also making the question of value only for a very limited time. Too Localized was the correct closure option. – jrista♦ Sep 10 '12 at 18:36
@woliveirajr it's nothing against you, it was a valid question until it was answered :) – chills42♦ Sep 10 '12 at 19:07

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, see the FAQ.

It is poorly written. Indicated Green Background refers to the list below where lenses models with stabilization are highlighted with a green background like the AF-S 16-35mm in the wide-angle section:

:) Thanks, now I understood... I edited wikipedia to better phrase it. – woliveirajr Sep 10 '12 at 13:49
Great! I was about to do that after you accepted the answer so to not confuse people more :) – Itai Sep 10 '12 at 13:51

Thus rendering this question completely redundant ;) – Matt Grum Sep 10 '12 at 14:01
Good catch @Itai – camflan Sep 10 '12 at 16:24

It looks like a mistake. Remove "indicated green background" from the statement and it is correct.
