    In particular, added a construction (with picture in tikz, for my sins!) of lens spaces via integral surgery, which, though completely standard, is not that easy to find in the literature if one does not know where to look.

    I have added the actual definition to the entry and have organized the previous material into subsections of a “Properties” section.

    The paragraph on Dehn surgery seemed to have been lacking the qualifier “coprime”, so I added it.

    Thanks for the correction! Regarding

    are in some sense the simplest

    there is at least one precise sense in which this is true, namely Lens spaces are the only 3-manifolds one can obtain by integral Dehn surgery on the unknot except for S 3S^{3} and  S 2×S 1S^{2} \times S^{1}. In a hurry now, so no time to find a reference, but it might be nice to add this to the entry; it should be in any textbook on geometric topology.

    Okay. I have added the “in some sense” only to make clear that at this point it’s an informal statement. But if it can be made precise further down in the entry, all the better.

  11. Added two main theorems for classification concerning when lens spaces are homeomorphic and homotopy equivalent.

    I moved all the primes to before the subscripts, for them to render at the expected spot
