Talk:Rhombicosidodecahedron

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schläfli symbol is wrong. It should be:

r\left\lbrace\frac{3}{5}\right\rbrace

[edit] Kids at St. Germaine School

For the last 12 months, an anonymous user, Special:Contributions/71.60.211.222, has been dropping in variations on this paragraph and revert repeated. Such persistence! Tom Ruen (talk) 22:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

DO NOT DELETE:
Kids at St. Germaine School in Bethel Park, PA built the worlds largest rhombicosidodecahedron, which stood at over 9 feet tall. The workers included, but are certainly not limited to (in alphabetical order) Bridget Bielich, Callie Hanua, Glenn Huetter, Carl Mitchell, Anthony "TJ" Serafini, and Leanna Talarico. Bielich's grandfather, Walter, donated the cardboard for the project. The shape stood on its own, although for several weeks it sat in a cold convent, haunted by dead nuns and supported by chairs. It was painted blue, purple, and pink. The building of the shape caused great unity among the 8th grade class, and it also took up a lot of math class time. The record-breaking construction was written about in the Post-Gazette.
It is annonying for sure - I have actually found the link http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04063/280160-55.stm - The Pittsburgh Post Gazette copy reads a lot better than Kids at St. Germaine School in..... Indeed such persistence is disruptive.

The easiest solution, other than waste time reverting edits all evening is to request a block now and again at Administrator Intervention against Vandalism, after a couple of blocks such persistence may wane (or collapse like said St Germaine's school rhombicosidodecahedron).

This is in reply to your query at Editor Assistance/Requests. -- BpEps - t@lk 06:27, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

It strikes me that it would be reasonable to include a picture of the model, with a brief caption. —Tamfang (talk) 17:03, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
