Talk:Palindromic polynomial

I've beefed up the examples and re-arranged slightly. I'd like to see two things added:

• Factorisation techniques.
• Examples of transformation into reciprocal equations e.g. $4x^{2}+4x+1$ transformed to $y^{2}+2y+1$ by writing $y=2x$. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinPackerIBM (talk • contribs) 07:40, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Started on the "transformation" piece. Martin Packer (talk) 08:22, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Can someone check I've repaired Property 8 properly? Thanks! Martin Packer (talk) 09:18, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to extend the article to discuss polynomials e.g. of the form x² - y² as a generalisation of the antipalindromic form. Would that be appropriate? There are analogous properties. Martin Packer (talk) 16:00, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Be careful about OR violation

While I commend the attempt to expand this article and appreciate the effort taken to do so, I am a little concerned about WP:NOR given some of the above comments. This concern is easily dismissed by providing some reliable references (and there are none at the moment). Wikipedia is not the place to publish original work, no matter how simple or easy it is. There is a little more wiggle room in mathematics articles than in WP as a whole, we allow simple examples and basic calculations that are aids to the reader in understanding concepts, but that is about it. Everything else must be referenced and that includes the list of properties here (with or without proofs). Unreferenced material can be removed by any editor with or without notice or explanation, and there are certainly editors that will do that. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 17:07, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
