[edit] 2006–2008 Comments

I've added more info on Descartes, but I'm not sure it's sufficient to remove the stub tag. Fish-Face 22:26, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the following:

Be careful not to mis-pronounce this word. The ch is not pronounced as in "church", but with a sound that is not found in standard English, which is like the ch in the Scottish loch, or the Greek letter chi.

The ancient Greeks may have pronounced the letter chi in this way, but English speakers do not: we pronounce it as k. The OED confirms this. --Auximines 13:21, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I have removed the stub tag, because I don't think anything else needs to be said about it. -- Dominus 07:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

As for a citation, how's this?

[edit] Proposed merge with polygon

This article is too short to stand in its own right. I propose that its content be merged into Polygon. Any opinions for or against? -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay by me, 1e6-gon too. Tom Ruen (talk) 21:51, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Done. Shentino (talk) 04:19, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
This change has been undone. The article was not particularly short, had a citation for the facts that make the chiliagon notable, and other wikipedias have parallel articles. Thus it seems unsuitable for merging. Cmprince (talk) 16:41, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
Note that the 1e6-gon has been kept at AfD, for similar reasons. -- 202.124.72.200 (talk) 10:21, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
