Thanks! I was worried removing the Archimedean solids reference would be trouble, becuase I saw that others had editted it without removing it. But I'm pretty sure that solids are polyhedra, and figures are polygons, and that article was about decagon. Jonathan48 17:23, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Because Carl Friedrich Gauss is about to be a featured article, I came to heptadecagon and your suggestion of of an animated construction. I think that would be really good and I've just posted saying so in Talk:Heptadecagon Thincat 13:01, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The heptadecagon animation is wonderful! I don't think it is "messy" at all, it is rather elegant. It isn't mathematically illuminating (to me) but it is fascinating. It is curiously asymmetrical. Thank you for doing this. I think Wikipedia is greatly enhanced by photos and graphics. Thincat 08:34, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your heptadecagon animation is great. Looking at it, however, I think it could be improved by highlighting (bold, different colour, something like that) the heptadecagon once it is completed, so that it is visible against all the compass marks. If it's an easy thing to change, then great; if you don't change it, kudos for the animation in the first place. M.Nelson (talk) 03:45, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Johnathan, for your work on my contributions to II Thessalonians. I'm afraid I just jumped in, and am learning the protocols the hard way. By the way, I grew up in the Levant and my brother still lives there, so if there is anything you want to know, I know it all. :) A Georgian (talk) 14:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
