Weight space is a common term in representation theory, but maybe it should be merged with the article weight (representation theory), where all the information are contained. Franp9am 18:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up most of the simple issues with this article. I tried continuing your work, and I have to agree with the merger. The problems with this article are almost all already handled in the regular weight article. In fact, treating weights as generalized eigenvalues, this is just a separate article on eigenspaces. However, notice that eigenvector, eigenvalue, and eigenspace all redirect to the same article. Perhaps the same should be done here for weight space, weight vector, and weight (representation theory). I think weight (representation theory) is a nice name for the combined article, and it is already there.

If you would like, I can add the {{mergeto}} and {{mergefrom}} tags to more formally suggest the merger. I doubt anyone will have any objection, but its good to give some time for comments. JackSchmidt 20:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I copied these comments over to Talk:weight (representation theory) where the mergefrom/mergeto tags direct discussion. JackSchmidt (talk) 18:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
