Talk:Vertex-uniform

Poll to move contents to vertex-uniform
Vertex-transitive is a standard term for polytopes. Vertex-uniform was an incorrect term from uniform polytopes which are are vertex-transitive.

 * Yes and no. I would prefer to move it to Isogonal because it's shorter and has been around longer, and redirect from Vertex-transitive. Steelpillow 13:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmmmm... no other opinions offered. Isogonal isn't as clear to me. I have to vote for clarity over compactness. I suppose it means "equal angles". A concave polygon can have equal angles and not be vertex-transitive. Tom Ruen 05:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC) +---+ |  | |   +--+ |      | +--+


 * That figure has five interior angles of 90 deg and one of 270 deg. Those are not all equal!


 * Isogonal does also imply that the vertices are transitive, i.e. they lie within the same symmetry orbit, something like this:

o---o /    \    /       \   /         \  o           o   \         / o---o
 * 'Isogonal' is the longest-established of the alternative synonyms we are discussing, and its meaning is beyond question. But OK, I can accept the main heading as the clearer one, with other pages reditrecting to it. Let's go with vertex-transitive. Steelpillow 18:30, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoa! Just found that Vertex-transitive is a disambiguation page. We can't call ours that. 'Vertex-transitive polyhedron or tiling' is a bit of a mouthful. Best ideas, anyone? Steelpillow 19:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * What I'd propose is:
 * Take over Vertex-transitive
 * Add two sections, one for graphs, one for polytopes
 * Put the graph one first with a short summary and a "For more information see: Vertex-transitive graph.
 * Then move this content there. If the polytope content got large enough, a Vertex-transitive polytope article could be created with more detail, and return Vertex-transitive to a short version.

 * Sounds good to me. Steelpillow 13:03, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
