The language could be improved.

The Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron in which all of the faces are regular polygons.

A Johnson solid is …

… a polyhedron is said to be convex if the faces are not in the same plane and the edges are not in the same line.

… no two faces … no two edges …

There are 92 Johnson solids, and some of the authors exclude uniform polyhedrons from the definition: …

The count of 92 requires excluding uniform. Could add "non-uniform" to the first sentence. —Tamfang (talk) 22:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

Is there an error in my blurb?

Have I forgotten to perform some step, or written a bad blurb for TFL submission? Because it has been twice overlooked for it's requested dates for newer submissions with alternatives dates provided- one of which was literally meant as a complement to it? DWF91 (talk) 20:04, 27 February 2025 (UTC)

Anyone- I can't see what I have done wrong in the blurb- there is no transparency to how the TFL's are being chosen. DWF91 (talk) 07:09, 11 March 2025 (UTC)

Giants2008 I am not sure if you select the TFL, but your name looks to be at the top of the edit summary removing noms, so I assume you do. Pinging you here to understand what the issue with my blurb is DWF91 (talk) 11:02, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping, DWF91. At least one of the proposed dates had another list seeking the same date, which was a factor, and it did seem like too much Doctor Who content to be running that close together, but there's a larger elephant in the room that needs to be addressed, so I guess this is a good time for it. Unlike TFA, TFL has never selected a repeat list to appear on the main page, and I'm doubtful that I have the remit to do so without the consensus of the community. This is an issue that goes beyond this particular list, as there are surely others that could be run a second time without issue (as well as some that have declined in quality, which we wouldn't want to feature again in their current states). It's the kind of thing where I feel uncomfortable dictating by myself how TFL should run. This issue really should be determined by the entire community, not one single editor. I'd actually suggest that a larger discussion be held over repeated TFLs, to establish a consensus on whether they should be done. I will happily abide by such a consensus, and would be happy to pick your list down the line if the community favors second appearances. That 's about the best I can offer you without going over the community's head on the matter. Giants2008 (Talk) 20:32, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

It's not a repeat list, most of the stuff that was in it when it last ran was split off into List of Doctor Who episodes (1963-1989). That was even the reason it lost its Featured status while the other one kept it. DWF91 (talk) 03:42, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

I have removed the list from the submissions. I do not have the energy to argue for repeated running of an FL, or to argue how it's a different list. The dates I preferred have already been selected for other lists, and all this was already explained below the blurb too. The list already gets enough views, so it's not necessary for it to be a TFL- if someone else thinks so, they could probably nom it themself. DWF91 (talk) 07:35, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
