Tetracubes have an interesting property: any of them can be "doubled" using the full set of 8 unique pieces. See, for example, http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/tetracube.htm#Magnification%20Problem. I think, it's worth to mention in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikhail Ryazanov ( talk • contribs) 05:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I thought that all polyominoes, including tetrominoes, are two-dimensional shapes composed of squares. Some of the "tetrominoes" in this article are three-dimensional and composed of cubes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.249.130 ( talk)
I like Tetris as much as the next guy, but I don't think this article benefits from a table showing how different versions of Tetris colour the Tetronimoes. That doesn't have anything to do with Tetronimoes in general so shouldn't be in this article in my opinion. Pelago 15:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
should the grids be a part of this article?
There's conflicting information in this article. In the "The seven tetrominoes", it says S is a free tetrominoe, while in the "Tiling the rectangle and filling the box with 2D pieces" it says Z is a free tetrominoe. The organization of the content also does not coincide with the organization of the images; they're not in the same order as one would except to see while reading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.75.27.41 ( talk • contribs)
The link on this page to the article "Chiral" redirects to a disambiguation. Can anyone fix this? I would really like to do it my self, but I myself have no idea which chirality I should be linking to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.136.53.224 ( talk) 21:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Why is there no information on the origin of tetramino??? As a concept and geometric idea, it had to be conceived by someone somewhere. Is this knowledge not yet known in this day and age? Laval ( talk) 07:29, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
Tetromino was recently moved to Tetrimino. As far as I know, the former is the term used in geometry (and it's also consistent with Pentomino, Polyomino etc), while the latter is used in Tetris. I'd say the article should be moved back since it covers the general concept (of course with references to Tetris), but I'd like more input before doing the move. -- ἀνυπόδητος ( talk) 11:55, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
It says that the Tetris Company has a copyright and trademark on the shapes. I'm pretty sure it has neither. I believe it has a trademark for the name Tetrimino rather, and has won a lawsuit on the basis of trade dress (meaning colors and style of Tetrominos). While I don't know the specifics of the law, I'm pretty sure that doesn't mean it has either a trademark or copyright on the shapes. 96.127.226.229 ( talk) 07:07, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

I have to ask, what is the encyclopedic interest of the “Filling the box” sections? — 67.14.236.50 ( talk) 22:42, 15 June 2017 (UTC)
Since Tetris was mentioned as an example for the usage of tetrominoes, the we might want to mention Blockout for tetracubes. I'm not a native english speaker so this may be done by someone else :) -- Bunny99s ( talk) 01:40, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
