I moved this page from incidence geometry to incidence geometry (structure) because otherwise it is too close in name to incidence (geometry) which is a different article. That closeness confuses my bot. I would need to fix my bot, but that could rise a host of other issues.
Please let me know if this move is an issue. Oleg Alexandrov 4 July 2005 22:04 (UTC)
The article currently states that An abstract polytope can be regarded as an incidence geometry. Is this correct? I suspect that it is not. Polytopes have a limited connectedness, for example any line (edge) in a polygon connects to just two points (vertices). As I recall this is never true of incidence geometries (though I have no reference handy). Does anybody know for sure? -- Cheers, Steelpillow ( Talk) 18:52, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
The article currently just to list the definition of linear spaces and some of its properties. However linear spaces are just one many incidence structures you might consider in incidence geometry and the theory of linear spaces is just subfield of incidence theory. This article should certainly shortly cover (partial) linear spaces as well but it needs to cover other structures as well and give on overview/description of the field as a whole. An introduction in to the larger field can be found here:

To avoid the mistake I made, it would be useful to add little more detail to the following statement in the article:
In particular giving a little more description of the space would be helpful, such as by mentioning the number of points, lines and/or planes in the space. 15 points? 35 lines? 15 planes? — Quondum 04:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
