Zonal spherical function

Take it easy, friend. I marked the article you're working on while patrolling new pages. Perhaps you should mark such articles with {{underconstruction}} next time. --/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 23:11, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

That is not what I normally do. Now please just leave me alone. Look at my mathematical edits. I am not a 12 year old school kid and when you see the start of a mathematical article, have the humility not to intervene, particularly when the edit summary makes it clear what is going on. You left less than 2 minutes before putting in templates, which I reagrd as rather unintelligent. Try to be more patient and learn a little common sense in future.

Well I'm sorry for that, but considering it's Misplaced Pages, you should expect someone to come along and edit the article you've helped write. If you want an incomplete article to have some degree of protection you might want to consider placing it as a subpage in your userspace until you consider it "ready to go". Let's try to assume good faith here; I'm just trying to make sure the good articles stay in and the bad articles stay out. I figured yours was going to be good at some point. --/Mendaliv//_Δ's/ 23:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Not one and a half minutes after its creation, when the edit summary says "more to follow"!!! Either you are an expert in semisimple Lie groups or you are being completely disingenuous. I am an experienced editor of mathematics articles, as you can quite rapidly find out. If you have not edited any higher mathematics articles yourself, please keep your thoughts to yourself. If you have no expertise in representations of semisimple Lie groups, you will have very little to contribute to this article. Now try to be a little more patient.

Civility

I have observed your recent conduct on this project with some concern. I am sure it is not news to you that editors are expected to interact with each other in a civil manner and to avoid personal attacks. Elonka has in her role as an administrator attempted to calm various disputes you have recently been in. Your attitude to other editors appears extremely hostile and Elonka has been giving you good advice. Your approach of accusing her of wikistalking, name-checking her in unrelated edit summaries, making threats and digging up errors she made early in her time editing here which she clearly regrets in an apparent attempt to intimidate her are totally unacceptable. Frankly, it appears to me that you are trying to get your way by bullying people. Please reconsider your approach, which seems to be escalating matters quite unnecessarily.

She has been following me around, i.e. she has my edits on her watchlist, and I do not like that particularly. When I started editing a new and rather difficult article Zonal spherical functions, where I was interrupted by a recent changs patroller unwittingly within one minute of my first edit, where I had clearly indicated in the edit summary 'more to follow, she needlessly intervened. It is precisely because she has been following my edits and unnecessarily intevening that I have shown a reaction to her. Her behaviour - having all my edits on her watchlist - is not normal. This is a situation of her own creation. I am perfectly aware of how to edit mathematics articles without her help; in fact, she has my edits excellent. I would like her to stay away from me for a while, because I have grown tired of having somebody looking over my shoulder. I found her intervention on European ethnic groups, where she failed to recongnize a known atni-Turkish POV pusher, twice admonished on WP:AN/I, particularly frustating. I have asked her on numerous times for her to stay away from me. I am not aware that I have been uncivil to her, but I can not hide my irritation at her interruptions when I am clearly actually engaged in serious editing. If this continues, I will simply stop editing WP. I have not seen behaviour of this kind from an administrator before. Before her appearance, I am unaware that there have been problems with my edits. The best idea is for her to avoid me, and I have told her that several times. There are many administrators and editors on WP, so this kind of deliberate interaction is quite needless. It is impossible to play the piano while somebody is dusting the keys. Mathsci (talk) 13:22, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
