I can already think of a cute DYK hook: "Did you know that a cube can fit through itself?"

A fun and accessible article. For some reason the article got tens of thousands of views on June12; do you know why? Ovinus (talk) 20:12, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for starting this review! I'm about to go on some international travel so I may be a bit less responsive than usual over the next week or two. No idea re the page views. As for DYK, it's already been listed, so a second nomination would be disallowed. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:26, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sad... FAC? :P Anyway, bon voyage! Ovinus (talk) 20:28, 30 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the whole (m,n) hypercube generalization thing, is , or bounded away from one? Ovinus (talk) 17:07, 5 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • One last thing, regarding cite [23]: is it okay to cite ArXiV preprints? I'd suggest adding an inline statement like "In a preprint, Smith & Doe (2020) found ... ", unless it's going to be published soon. But I'm not sure on the guidelines for this stuff. Ovinus (talk) 02:20, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not a reliably published source, and (as its authors appear to be students) can't be squeezed in under the "established expert" clause of WP:SPS. I removed it. Pity, though, as I found the statistical evidence for some polyhedra not having the Rupert property to be interesting. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:53, 6 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sad indeed... wondering whether it's appropriate to occasionally IAR and cite it (with inline attribution) for interesting but not highly questionable results. I think you accidentally removed some perfectly fine sources in that edit, the ones for the truncated tetrahedron. Once that's been addressed, I think I'll pass; am happy with the article.
