Title
Shouldn't this be "Tilings by regular polygons" or even "Plane tilings by regular polygons"? Melchoir 01:18, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup and topics not covered
I cleaned up the article and removed the cleanup tag. There are still a number of topics discussed in Grünbaum and Shephard which could perhaps be discussed on this page but aren't yet:
- More on -uniform (and -isohedral, -isotoxal) tilings, with additional examples and something on the Krötenheerdt tilings; equitransitive tilings.
- Non-edge-to-edge tilings: equitransitive unilateral tilings by squares; the problem of tiling the plane with exactly one square of each integer edge length.
- Star polygons, both in the style of Kepler (Grünbaum and Shephard section 2.5, the lists there being incomplete) and as hollow self-intersecting polygons (section 12.3); I shouldn't make the call as to notability of the former, having published regarding them.
- The duals of the uniform tilings (Laves tilings).
- Archimedean and uniform colourings of tilings.
