Talk:Catenoid

The image would be better (well, more consistent with the article) if it were rotated 90 degrees. As it is, it shows a sideways catenary curve rotated around the y axis, rather than an upright catenary curve rotated around the x axis. 71.70.175.223 07:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The axes aren't labeled. The article explains a method of construction, not a rigorous mathematical definition. The picture is fine and completely accurate. Who are you to say that it was rotated around the y axis unless the axes are labeled anyway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.24.142.225 (talk) 07:13, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

File:Helicatenoid.gif to appear as POTD soon

If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks!  howcheng  {chat} 00:28, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
