	:::: If I may, both of you have a point, and both are normally pretty good editors, but seem to have run into a bit of a conflict here. Mathsci isn't being particularly civil in how he expresses it, but it is true that it's normally better to give an article more than 90 seconds before tagging it. Mendaliv, when I'm on new article patrol, unless I see something egregious (like obvious spam, attack pages, or nonsense), I normally give it at least 24 hours to flesh out before tagging. Especially if it's being created by an established editor. It's simple enough to scan ] and dip into the day-old articles (let me know if you'd like help on that). And Mathsci, I understand that you're upset, but could you please tone things down a bit? Mendaliv is performing a very useful function here, patrolling new articles. He was definitely a bit quick on the draw with the tags for your particular stub, but he was acting in good faith. --]]] 03:24, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

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.
