Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Uniform Polytopes

Tasks

A nicer set to explore is a list of uniform tetracombs (4-dimension tessellations, parallel to Convex_uniform_honeycomb list in 3D). I have a PDF document from George Olshevsky, listing all 143 forms. I started my own list at User:Tomruen/Convex uniform tetracomb. It's very detailed. It's in the polyhedron list archives above, or I could email to you [referring to 4] if you want to look. It's referenced as:

• George Olshevsky, (2006, Uniform Panoploid Tetracombs, Manuscript (Complete list of 11 convex uniform tilings, 28 convex uniform honeycombs, and 143 convex uniform tetracombs)

Uniform 4-polytopes (polychora):

1. Create a standard stat table, and add a template database, like Template:Uniform polyhedra db for convex uniform polychora stat tables. (Questionable how it should be done, with multiple tallies by element types) Data table summary at User:Tomruen/uniform_polychoron_table

Uniform 5-polytopes (polytera):

1. Finish drawing vertex figures for uniform polyteron (Possibly rebuild as SVG?)
   • See User:Tomruen/Uniform polyteron verf
2. Generalize duoprism from 4-polytopes to higher forms
   • Also curious, what is the dual of a {p}x{q} duoprism called?
     • Answer: p-q duopyramid from Olshevsky, George. "Duopyramid". Glossary for Hyperspace. Archived from the original on 4 February 2007.
     • Also 3 or 4 products are called Triaprisms, and quadriprisms.
3. Generalize prism (geometry) from 3-polytopes to higher forms
4. Generalize dipyramid from 3-polytopes to higher forms
5. One project I'd like to expand is uniform tessellations up to dimension 10. Regular and quasiregular solutions (have uniform polytope vertex figures, and the number of vertices in this vertex figure represents the kissing number of the tessellation. So a listing could show these uniform lattices, sorting by kissing number, and see how they compare to the know best solutions. So I'll be tweaking around this subject a while! Some initial work at User:Tomruen/Kissing_number. Tom Ruen (talk) 00:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

Uniform polytopes n>4:

1. Create 3D animations of polytopes with dimensions larger than 4
2. Add infoboxes.
3. help to build template for polytopes, (like Template:Polytopes)

Leaflet For Uniform Polytopes At Wikimania 2014

Are you looking to recruit more contributors to your project?
We are offering to design and print physical paper leaflets to be distributed at Wikimania 2014 for all projects that apply.

Leaflet For Wikiproject Uniform Polytopes At Wikimania 2014

Please note: This is an updated version of a previous post that I made.

Hi all,

My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.

This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:

• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film

• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.

• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.

• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____

• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost

The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014

For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:

Comment on the WikiProject X proposal

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.) Harej (talk) 22:48, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I made something

I made a banner to put on the talk pages of your articles:

Offer of support

I will do what I can to support. I have developed some s/w tools to visualize Dynkin/Coxeter-Dynkin diagrams and the algebra, groups, and geometry. Jgmoxness (talk) 15:06, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject X is live!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Request for information on WP1.0 web tool

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
