Welcome to WikiProject Polyhedra. Here, it is a project to standardize Wikipedia's coverage on
polyhedrons, including becoming a higher-status class as in
good articles,
featured articles, and
featured lists. As for the background, polyhedrons can be found in many real life, such as in popular culture, applications in science, and many more. Anyone from either this project or the outside of this project is welcome to improve them.
Tasks
Improving articles on polyhedrons by removing excessive tables per
WT:WPM.
Add 3D models to all polyhedron articles, including the uniform polyhedra (and compounds), Johnson solids, stellations of the icosahedron, and other special shapes. I and
TilmannR have already created most of these, and I'm working on some of the missing ones (pyramids, antiprisms, trapezohedra and the uniform compounds). It's just a matter of adding them with a short description such as "3D model of [shape name]". For convenience, I've been compiling these models
on my userpage, where a download link with all the
GGB and
STL files I've made can also be found. –

RobertLovesPi -- Will work on improving clarity and accessibility in polyhedra-related articles. Also may begin replacing numerous unmoving polyhedral images made with Stella 4d with otherwise-identical rotating .gifs made using the same program. If anyone thinks this is a bad idea, please shoot me a message to that effect.
KingAntenor There is definitely some potential here.

TilmannR for creating many of these in the first place), as well as translating many pages to Spanish.
