Article title

[edit]

This article is currently titled "Dual uniform polyhedron". However the Catalan solids tend to be known as the "Archimedean duals". This is noted in the article and conforms to Cundy & Rollett's (e.g. p.118) and Wenninger's (e.g. Dual Models, p.14, Para 2.) usage. There seems to be no generalised term in use for the duals of the uniform star polyhedra, just the phrase I use here. The generalised version of the Catalan description, to the dual of any uniform polyhedron, would be "Uniform dual polyhedron". That page already exists as a redirect here, would it not be the better title for this article? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 08:37, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No list of the dual uniform star polyhedra

[edit]

I couldn't find any article that lists the duals of the uniform star polyhedra (which are mentionned in this article as "53 star polyhedra") the same way as the other "categories" (like the uniform star, archimedean, catalan, platonic...) have, except for the duals of the hemipolyhedra which are listed on the Hemipolyhedron page. While they are in the Dual uniform polyhedra category and the Star-polyhedra navigator, those aren't as "friendly" as lists like the Catalan solid article or just the uniform star polyhedra article. (I don't know what other place would be appropriate to suggest that list) 134.59.191.34 (talk) 10:53, 17 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
