Talk:List of Johnson solids

edit needed
There is a spelling error on Johnson Solid 43, where pentagonal is spelled as pentaognal. Please fix when possible :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.114.101.117 (talk) 23:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

symmetry order
The table lists four forms with symmetry group C1 and order 2. Should some of them be Cs or Ci? —Tamfang (talk) 07:14, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Fixed, all 4 are Cs. Tom Ruen (talk) 20:58, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Help!!
Hello,

Why only 51 polyhedra exist in the list?

Thanks for your attention, Hirbod Foudazi2 (talk) 05:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Because anonymous block-evading vandals a couple weeks ago. Fixed. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Hirbod Foudazi2 (talk) 07:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

Adding additional tables of properties
I've added a table of surface areas. Next I plan to add one for volumes. I would also like to include a third table with in-, mid-, and circumraiii and a fourth with some graph-theoretic properties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Octonius (talk • contribs) 05:51, 18 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I apologize for the response after two years, but NO! This article is supposed to list the Johnson solids only. I think the number of its components (vertices, edges, and faces), and the metric properties (surface area and volume) are sufficient enough. Inradius/circumradius/midradius are mostly original research, and not all of them have those properties. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 03:03, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

regularity

 * A polyhedron is said to be regular if its faces are equilateral and equiangular. Regular polyhedra with the additional property of vertex-transitivity are known as uniform polyhedra.

Johnson solids' faces are regular (equilateral and equilateral). A regular polytope usually means uniform and with only one kind of facet. —Tamfang (talk) 06:59, 26 June 2024 (UTC)


 * But here, we are focus on polyhedron only. There is no relation between higher polytopes than the definition of Johnson solid. It is intend to define what Johnson solid is by breaking the terms and explain their meaning step-by-step per WP:ONEDOWN. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that, if we're concerned only with three dimensions, regular changes its meaning?
 * The problem goes away if we trim the exposition here; we need not cover the ground of Johnson solid and Uniform polyhedron and Regular polyhedron. —Tamfang (talk) 00:27, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Our article regular polyhedron gives what I expected the meaning to me: for 3d polyhedra, regular means flag-transitive. That does not match the definition given in this list, which seems wrong to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @David Eppstein, @Tamfang. Okay. I have deleted the meaning of regular polyhedron unrelated with Johnson solids, including exclusion by the author's definition. Dedhert.Jr (talk) 10:47, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
