I made some pictures

I have made some pictures of the various solids mentioned in the article. They aren't especially nice, in as much as they are orthogonal projections without any shading or glenzing whatsoever, but are quick to make and so could easily be done for all sorts of polyhedra, and would be ok to have until better images come along. See some here. My question is, how many of them do we want? Having several pictures for each of the Archimedean solids seems like it might be wasting space that could be better used for something else. --Josh Grosse (talk) 07:07, 9 November 2001 (UTC)

They aren't very big, so it's probably OK if you want to do this. You can save quite a bit of space (about 35%) by recoding the PNGs as paletted PNGs, instead of 24-bit PNGs. None of your PNGs used more than 8 colours, so this can be done losslessly. I've uploaded a zip file of the recoded PNGs to http://www.zundark.btinternet.co.uk/joshpngs.zip — Preceding unsigned comment added by Conversion script (talk • contribs) 14:43, 25 February 2002 (UTC)

Streetlamps in Mainz

I took this picture of a street lamp in Mainz, shaped like a rhombicuboctahedron. Maybe it is too trivial to include in the article, but I think it is interesting. :) --Itub 13:27, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
