Latin/Lesson 7-The Gerund and Participles

= Participles =

Participles are verbs which function grammatically like adjectives. English, aided by auxiliary participles, is able have participle phrases in many tenses. Latin has participles that do not have auxiliary supplementary participles. This limits the usage of the participle in Latin, according to some wiki-scholars of Classical Studies.

Present Active Participles
Present participles are formed by adding -ns to the stem of the verb.

Present Participles are declined like 3rd declension adjectives. In cases besides the nominative, the -s becomes -t.

Examples:

1. ferens, ferentis 2. capiens, capientis 3. ens, entis

Exercises
Form the Present Participle and translate of the following Latin verbs:

 * meto, messui, messum, ere
 * metuo, metum, ui, ere
 * milito, avi, atum, are
 * postulo, avi, atum, are
 * sulco, avi, sulcum, are
 * iacio, ieci, iactum, ere

Uses
The examples will show participles of the verb amo, amare, amavi, amatum (to love).

 * present active: base + 'ns.' This forms a two-termination 3rd declension adjective. In the case of amare, the participle is amans, amantis (loving).
 * perfect passive: fourth principle part, with appropriate first or second declension endings: amatus, -a, -um.
 * future active: fourth principle part, minus 'm', add 'rus, -a, -um' This forms a 1st-2nd declension adjective: amaturus, -a, -um (about to love).

In deponent verbs, the perfect passive participle is formed in the same way as in regular verbs. However, since the nature of the deponent verb is passive in form and active in meaning, the participle is translated actively.

Remember that participles are adjectives, and therefore must be declined to agree with the noun which they modify in case, number and gender.

Gerund
The gerund is a verbal noun which is used to refer to the action of a verb. For example: ars scribendi = the art of writing. The gerund is declined as a second declension neuter noun. It is formed by taking the present stem and adding -ndum.

Meanings of the gerund

 * Genitive: ars legendi - The art of reading / to read
 * Accusative: ad puniendum - to punish, for punishing
 * Ablative: saepe canendo - through frequently singing; in legendo: while reading
 * Genitive with causa: puniendi causa - in order to punish

Gerundive
The gerundive is a 1st/2nd declension adjective formed the same way as the gerund, and its function overlaps somewhat with the gerund, but otherwise differs. The literal translation of the gerundive is with "to be", eg. defendendus, -a, -um = "to be defended".

 * Accusative: ad ludos fruendos - to the games to be enjoyed - to enjoy the games (Note that if this were a gerund construction, it would be ad ludis fruendum since fruor, -i takes the ablative case. In the gerundive construction, both noun and gerundive are governed by the preposition ad)
 * Gerundive of obligation, which is constructed with the verb 'est' or 'sunt', according to the subject's number: Carthago delenda est - Carthage is to be destroyed - Carthage must be destroyed. Note that if there is an object (eg. Carthage is to be destroyed by us), it goes into the dative case (eg. Carthago delenda nobis est).

=Exercises=

1. Convert the following subjunctive purpose clauses into gerund or gerundive clauses with the same meaning. For example: militabat ut patriam defenderet → militabat ad patriam defendendum or militabat patriam defendendi causa or militabat ad patriam defendendam. Try to use each construction twice.
 * casam exit ut patrem adiuvet
 * mater in casam rediit ut cenam pararet
 * hostes vincebant ergo scutum abieci (I threw away my shield) ut celerius fugerem
 * in silvas currimus ut nos celemus
 * hostes in silvas ineunt ut nos invenirent
 * Brutus Iulium Caesarem occidit ut Romam liberaret

2. Translate into Latin. For example: I must see the temple -> templum mihi videndum est
 * We must build a large city.
 * Julius Caesar must lead an army into Greece.
 * Scipio (Scipio, -ionis) must defeat Hannibal.

Symmetrical set Venn diagram
(This work was licenced under CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL by theirs authors. Citation of the authors is given at the end of their text. ) Wow! It's amazing how you made Symmetrical 5-set Venn diagram ! May I ask you how you obtained it and if it's possible to use this how-to in order to make Symmetrical set Venn diagram with more than 5 sets, please. It would be very kind. <IP_ADDRESS> 17:43, 24 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! It was originally designed by mathematician Branko Grünbaum. I wrote the Python program at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Symmetrical_5-set_Venn_diagram.svg#Summary to make the smallest regions as large as possible. Let me know if you've other questions. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 15:09, 25 August 2019 (UTC)

May I ask you if there is a way to obtain a 6-or-more by using a software ? Note : it's me the former called "<IP_ADDRESS> 17:43, 24 August 2019 (UTC)". My IP provider changes my ip adress any time.2A01:CB0C:38C:9F00:31CD:9270:5879:5FE6 16:41, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

6-set Venn diagram SMIL.svg I don't know if a way to do that, but know of the above 6-set Venn diagram made of only triangles, devised by Jeremy J Carroll ( http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/2000/HPL-2000-73.pdf ). In the SVG, Hover over a set to highlight it, and click it to select and deselect it. Would it help to register an account so that you can have a permanent customisable identity? You needn't use your real name if you prefer not to. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 00:18, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

I fact, I prefer ellipses. Furthermore, in this figure there are areas far too small.2A01:CB0C:38C:9F00:31CD:9270:5879:5FE6 00:25, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

Me too. Sadly, I don't know of a way to generate them analytically. Would you like to post your question at en: Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Mathematics? Someone there may be able to answer it. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 08:49, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

2A01:CB0C:38C:9F00:C1BA:AE9C:744:AACD (talk) 20:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC) I really wish a symetrical Venn diagram with the smallest areas as large as possible for n≥6.Is there a software to do that, please ? Thank you by advance .2A01:CB0C:38C:9F00:C1BA:AE9C:744:AACD (talk) 20:20, 12 September 2019 (UTC). Note : it’s me the former 2A01:CB0C:38C:9F00:31CD:9270:5879:5FE6 and <IP_ADDRESS>

 * You may need to go to 3 dimensions to get what you want (using an ellipsoid instead of ellipse). And you would want a 3D model you could rotate, and maybe turn some of the lobes off, to make it easier to visualize a particular intersection. Z-clipping could also help. Perhaps an animated GIF could be created that uses some of those techniques to highlight each intersection.

 * It poses an interesting math Q as to how many symmetrical Venn diagrams including every possible intersection could be made using all identical ellipsoids in 3D space. I'm thinking somewhere in the range of 8-20, but if someone knows how to mathematically figure this out, please do. SinisterLefty (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Dick Quax

1972 Olympics
User DerbyCountyinNZ on at 00:37, 17 August 2007 inserted a claim that Quax did not participate in the 1972 Summer Olympics, which has remained undisputed for almost two years. I have found no support for this claim and at least two references indicating the Quax competed for New Zealand in the 5000m. In interviews Quax has stated that he watched the terrorist attack on the Isreali dorms in the Olympic village through his bathroom window. Does anyone have any support for the claim that he did not go to the 1972 Summer Olympics? Racepacket (talk) 14:49, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the WP article on New Zealand at the 1972 Summer Olympics, Quax competed in the 5000m, being eliminated after running 14:35.2 in the heats. I think we should take the presence of a time in that article as stronger evidence that he did participate, compared to an unsupported claim to the contrary. I will remove the (apparently) mistaken claim from the article. Chris Loosley (talk) 10:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow! I don't even remember making this edit, although it was 11 years ago! It's a shame someone didn't pull me up on this at the time, because now I have no idea where I got the idea that Quax missed the 72 Olympics. How embarrassing. DerbyCountyinNZ  (Talk Contribs) 04:13, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

Palawan Provincial Board

The Palawan Provincial Board is the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (provincial legislature) of the Philippine province of Palawan.

The members are elected via plurality-at-large voting: the province is divided into three districts, the first district sending five members, the second sending four members, and the third district sending one member to the provincial board; the number of candidates the electorate votes for and the number of winning candidates depends on the number of members their district sends. The vice governor is the ex officio presiding officer, and only votes to break ties. The vice governor is elected via the plurality voting system province-wide.

The districts used in appropriation of members is coextensive with the legislative districts of Palawan, with the exception that Puerto Princesa, a highly urbanized city, is excluded in the third district.

Aside from the regular members, the board also includes the provincial federation presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay (ABC, from its old name "Association of Barangay Captains"), the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK, youth councils) and the Philippine Councilors League (PCL). Palawan's provincial board also has a reserved seat for its indigenous people (IPMR).

Current members
These are the members after the 2019 local elections and 2018 barangay and SK elections:

Nomological danglers

"Nomological danglers" is a term used by Scottish-Australian philosopher J. J. C. Smart in his article "Sensations and Brain Processes". Smart credits the term to Herbert Feigl and his article "The 'Mental' and the 'Physical'." A nomological dangler refers to the occurrence of something (in this case a sensation) that does not fit into the system of established laws. Smart believes that it is absurd that everything can be explained by the laws of physics except consciousness. He identifies consciousness with the broad term "sensations". In his example the nomological danglers would be sensations such that are not able to be explained by the scientific theory of brain processes. Some mental entities for example in a phenomenological field, are not able to be found (and do not behave in the way that is expected) in physics. In the context Smart uses it, he is criticising dualism and epiphenomenalism as philosophies of mind, and the concerns over physical and causal laws they raise. Smart puts forward his own theory in the form of materialism, claiming it is a better theory, in part because it is free from these nomological danglers, making it superior in accordance with Occam's razor. To add something that that operated according to a different "law" would effectively be to a new thing that is a law unto itself.

Wikiversity:Topics

A Wikiversity page in the topic namespace helps Wikiversity participants organize learning resources related to a single academic topic area. In contrast, Wikiversity schools are used to help organize several related topic areas. Pages in the Topic: namespace can be called divisions, departments, centers, programs or any other descriptive term. If you want to create a new Wikiversity department or other Wikiversity content development project, please read the naming conventions.

Topic: namespaces are the equivalent to Wikipedia's community oriented Wikiprojects or taskforces.

Major Wikiversity Divisions and Departments

 * A STRONOMY
 * A GRICULTURAL E NGINEERING
 * C HEMICAL E NGINEERING
 * C OMPUTER P ROGRAMMING
 * E NGINEERING E DUCATION
 * E NGLISH L ANGUAGE

 * P OLITICS OF THE E UROPEAN U NION
 * P URE M ATH
 * R EHABILITATION S CIENCES
 * R ISK M ANAGEMENT
 * W EB D ESIGN

Templates
There are templates that can be used to quickly start pages in the "Topic:" namespace. Use and.

At Wikiversity, we have a Topic namespace. Articles in it have the prefix  . This resource is to help gain an understanding of the Topic namespace and of Topic:Topics in general.

Topic namespace
To see what's in the Topic: namespace, click Special pages to your left. Scroll down to Prefix index and click that. Then, where it says Namespace:, click the drop-down box and select Topic. You will then see a page – All pages (Topic namespace) which gives you an alphabetized list something like Abenaki through XML. These are your basic Topics at Wikiversity.

The difference between topics, disambiguation pages and portals

 On Wikipedia, a disambiguation page is for topics whose names overlap or have multiple meanings (eg "reflection") - on Wikiversity the scope for overlapping is much greater, encompassing also different learner levels, different audiences, and different perspectives. A topic page is meant to serve all those functions, as well as allowing for links between related subjects, which wouldn't be fully covered under "disambiguation". Also, a topic page is meant to be easily editable so as to facilitate development of new content in a given area - a portal page is meant to be user-friendly to the person looking for content, but it is not so easy for people to edit such template/code-heavy pages in order to develop their own content. Cormaggio talk 09:10, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Finding or creating a topic
If you are disappointed to find that your favorite Topic isn't covered there, try it with no prefix (Topic) or as a School ( School:Topic) or a Portal (Portal:Topic).

Topics at Wikiversity are usually pages for other Wikiversity participants who have already organized a Learning group, Learning materials and Learning resources around that Topic.

If you are an expert, or even have a lot of interest in a topic, you can start an article in the   namespace if you desire to. A "high-level" general topic perhaps thought of as a "subject" in the Topic: namespace is usually considered a Division. In that case you can use to create a somewhat standard Division page.

Likewise, A "lower-level" specific topic perhaps thought of as a "field" in the Topic: namespace is usually considered a Department. In that case you can use to create a somewhat standard Department page.

Divisions can be parts of Schools and Departments can be parts of Divisions. As Wikiversity grows, it is importqant to interlink related content development groups, schools, portals and learning resources. Don't be discouraged if pages you create appear "lonely" or forgotten. Someone else may pull your topic into a broader context by including it on navigational templates or in other relevant categories or portals.

If you don't want to create a page yourself, just open the page and type or paste into it. Someone else will either delete the page or start the new topic. The template renders something like:

 * Topic:Topics for the flat list

Font Roja Natural Park

The Font Roja Natural Park (Parc Natural del Carrascar de la Font Roja, Parque Natural del Carrascal de la Fuente Roja) is a natural park situated in Alcoy, in the autonomous community of Valencia, in eastern Spain.

The Font Roja natural park was declared on April 13, 1987 natural park by the Generalitat Valenciana. It is located in the comarca of Alcoià, in the North of the province of Alicante, between the towns of Alcoy and Ibi. This natural park is one of the best preserved natural areas of the Valencian Community. The protected natural area covers 2.298 hectares and comprises mountainous alignment of El Alto de San Antonio (L'Alt de Sant Antoni), El Carrascar of the Font Roja (El Carrascar de la Font Roja) and La Teixereta. The summit of the Sierra del Menejador, with 1,356 m of height, is the highest elevation of the park.

Hudson station (New York)

Hudson station is a train station in Hudson, New York. Hudson serves a total of four different Amtrak trains, all of which have a southern terminus at Pennsylvania Station in New York City. They consist of the Adirondack from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Empire Service from Niagara Falls, New York, the Ethan Allen Express from Burlington, VT, and the Maple Leaf from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Lake Shore Limited trains from Chicago served Hudson until April 4, 2009.

History
Originally built in 1874 by the New York Central Railroad, it is the oldest continuously operated station in the state. Besides the Water Level Route, Hudson was also the terminus of the former Boston and Albany Railroad Hudson Branch, on which passenger service ran until 1932.

Passenger service at the station as well as across the nation was assumed by Amtrak in 1971. In the late 1980s, the parking lots on either side of the station were repaved. The next renovation took place between 1991 and 1992 with funds from New York State, after the renovations, the station had a grand re-opening. In the late 1990s, ridership at the Hudson station grew to the point that the city opened up an additional parking lot across the street. In 2009, the city created metered parking on Front Street due to the continuing demand. A task force recently studied the feasibility of raising the platform, a difficult task since north end of the platform is curved and an active freight siding lies near that side of the station.

The Berkshire Flyer began running on July 8, 2022, providing direct service to Pittsfield on summer weekends.

Station layout
The station has two low-level paved island platforms. Northbound trains generally use Track 1 while southbound trains generally use Track 2. with both trains opening doors on the eastern side. The third track is a passing loop that merges into Track 1 on either side of the station. Passengers are required to wait east of the passing loop until the train arrives in the station. The station is wheelchair-accessible, with passengers reaching the train via a portable wheelchair lift.

 * Yes, I recommend discussing things here first. Also familiarizing yourself with WP:BLP and WP:NPOV/WP:DUE/WP:SYNTH would be helpful. Adding subheadings like "Fitness Questions Raised During Montana Supreme Court Race" is decidedly not neutral. Many of the recent additions to this page appear to resemble an attempt to make this into an WP:ATTACK page by basically adding an opposition research memo to the page. That's not what we do here. This should be an encyclopedic overview of the man's biography. Marquardtika (talk) 21:38, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments. There is no attempt to attack here; statements that are not neutral enough are the product of being a new editor. I have attempted to correct this issue, but there seems to be resistance to the idea of posting about this nominee's history on gay rights, which was the major topic of his hearing so is newsworthy. Additionally, this nominee's fitness for office was questioned in the past; this seems highly relevant given the major issue at the hearing was his "not qualified" rating based on his current fitness for office. Virtually every news article about this nominee right now is addressing one or both of these issues. The wikipedia page looks incomplete without discussing them. Daphnebluedbw (talk) 22:22, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

Deleted sentence
I have just deleted the following sentence from the section entitled "Nomination to Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals":

 * These criticisms ignore the body of reports outside of the ABA that confirm the ABA’s findings.

The sentence referred back to a preceding paragraph that laid out conservative objections to the ABA's evaluation of VanDyke.

The sentence violates WP:SYNTH because three of the four cited sources do not even mention (let alone confirm) the ABA's findings. The most that could be said of those three sources is that they tend to corroborate the ABA's findings. The sentence violates WP:V and/or WP:RS because all four of the cited sources are primary sources. The sentence violates WP:NPOV because it fails to mention that three of the cited sources are left-leaning organizations and that the other is a Democratic former elected official who had unsuccessfully run for office against Adam Laxalt, who appointed VanDyke to the position he held in Nevada. Frankly, I would argue that it also violates WP:DUE for the same reason (what is noteworthy about Democrats and left-leaning organizations opposing a Republican judicial nominee)?

Highly suspect biographical details from overly politically affiliated 3rd parties
The "evidence" to support claims of his education record are from the national review. This is so far over the line the territory where *the simplest and most logical explanation is to always assume that the source is lying or misleading*. I do not believe that this represents a good enough quality outside source for those claims to stand. A viable option would be a yearbook, publication in a local newspaper, something I am absolutely CERTAIN exists for Montana State University during the late1990s when claims to have attended and graduated (*in 2 years no less!* since, assuredly, he must have succeeded in transferring the credits from his bible college to his bacehlorrs degree in *civil engineering*). I'm gonna do some more checking but I will be editing this page soon if nothing can be found.<IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 02:53, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure exactly what you're disputing but his educational record is listed here at the Federal Judicial Center. Marquardtika (talk) 16:50, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Discovery of nuclear fission/archive1

Discovery of nuclear fission

 * Nominator(s):  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  05:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

This article is about the discovery of nuclear fission in 1938. It is better known than other scientific discoveries because nuclear fission led to the development nuclear power and nuclear weapons. It is also controversial. The award of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for 1944 to Otto Hahn (but don't mention the war!) raised issues about whether the discovery was about physics or chemistry, and what indeed is meant by a scientific discovery. It has also been touted as an example of the Matilda effect. This carries over to Wikipedia as well; in the English language version, Lise Meitner gets more page views than Otto Hahn, but in the German Wikipedia the reverse is true. Hawkeye7  (discuss)  05:29, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Comments by Wehwalt

 * Up to the start of "Discovery"
 * Nucleus is double-linked in the lead.
 * Unlinked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "that alpha particles were helium" Would it be accurate to say "that alpha particles were helium nuclei"?
 * Sure. Linked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Irène Curie" You probably have your reasons for not including the Joliot?
 * Yes. Everyone is consistently referred to in the article by the name under which they published their scientific papers. This affects four individuals mentioned. Curie never published under her husband's name.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * " But after Rasetti went on his Easter vacation before preparing the polonium-beryllium source, " After and before makes it feel a little unclear.
 * Re-worded.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * " and the radium continually produced a new batch.[33][34]" I might say "it" or "more" instead of "a new batch".
 * Sure.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "When they got to fluorine, they had their first success. Induced radioactivity was subsequently found through the neutron bombardment of 22 different elements.[35][36] " The "subsequently" makes it unclear if fluorine is included in the count.
 * (Checks) Yes, fluorine is included in the 22. Changed to "ultimately".  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  20:24, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks pretty good so far.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:03, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "with the longest-lived having 13- and 90-minute half-lives" Wouldn't you list the longest first?
 * No, why?  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "What they found was three different decays series, all alpha emitters—a form of decay not found in any other heavy element, and for which Meitner once again had to postulate multiple isomers. They did find an interesting result: these (n, α) decay series" should "decays series" be "decay series"?
 * Yes. Corrected.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you're consistent with hyphens in "half life" and "half lives".
 * Settled on the hyphen, per out article.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * "Meitner departed for the Netherlands with Dutch physicists Dirk Coster." Were there multiple physicists or should this be "physicist"?
 * Just one. Corrected.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Bohr Institute v. "Bohr's Institute". Wouldn't mind if it was lower case but ...
 * Because it wasn't officially called that until 1965, but the name was in use before that. Corrected to use the possessive.
 * This tale has a moral, tho' we knew it before.
 * It's foolish to question the wisdom of Bohr.
 * Why is Fermi linked in the US section? He's been mentioned many times.
 * Probably because the text was lifted from another article. Unlinked.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Was the Fifth Washington Conference at Princeton (which I found odd) or at Washington? You say both.
 * At The George Washington University. My geography of the US isn't too good.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * In DC.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * It is The George Washington University (as an alumnus; J.D., 1990)
 * Okay. Capitalised "the". You should consider moving the article.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Similar to The Ohio State University. Not gonna fly.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Is "straight forward" rather than "straightforward" an Engvar thing?
 * Possibly. Going with "straightforward".  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * A clearer timeframe for the first two paragraphs in "Nobel prize" might be helpful.
 * "During celebrations in Germany of the 100th birthdays of Einstein, Hahn, Meitner and von Laue in 1978," Does it matter that Einstein was born in 1879?
 * It's apparently within the margin of error.  Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:50, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Very interesting. I didn't know much of this. Look forward to supporting.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:28, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support All looks good.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Support from Gog the Mild
Nb: it is my intention to claim points in the WikiCup for this review.

Excellent work, lovely prose. Gog the Mild (talk) 21:57, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * There is a lot of over-linking; three cases in the lead.
 * All done with the help of the duplicate detector. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "discovered that barium had been produced". Optional: 'discovered that barium was produced'.
 * Sticking with this wording. The point here is avoid giving the reader the impression that have that barium is what you get from fission. In fact, it is one of the less common fission products. It was found because they went looking for chemically similar radium. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Protactinium" section: paragraphs 1 and 3 commence "In 1913". Can a reader assume that everything in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 took place in 1913?
 * No. Re-worded to remove this repetition. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "They noted that positron emission continued after the neutron emissions ceased. Not only had they discovered a new form of radioactive decay". Possibly a brief in line explanation/summary of what this new form of radioactive decay was?
 * Positron emission. Re-worded to make this clearer. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Based on the table of the time" → 'Based on the periodic table of the time'.
 * Corrected as suggested. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "because that was what was the case with alpha particles and protons" → 'because that was the case with alpha particles and protons'.
 * That was awkward. Corrected as suggested. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "the neutral neutrons were more likely to be captured by the nucleus if they spent more time in its vicinity". Do you mean 'as they spent'?
 * No, the distinction here is between fast neutrons and slow ones. Only the slow ones spend more time in the vicinity of the nucleus. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I am not sure that it will be clear to a reader that a neutral neutron is the same thing as a slow neutron. Why not stick with "slow neatron", as used in the rest of the article? Gog the Mild (talk) 23:15, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * By "neutral neutrons" I mean that they have no electrical charge. If a proton approaches the nucleus, it will be repelled, because the nucleus is also positively charged. In order to hit it, they have to have enough energy to overcome this repulsion. But a neutron has neutral charge, so it can hit the nucleus at any speed. As it happens, if it comes in slow, it is more likely to be captured. Changed to "neutrally charged". Hawkeye7   (discuss)  00:30, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "The current model of the nucleus was" → 'The model of the nucleus in 193X was'.
 * Added "in 1934". Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Nor was Noddack the only critic". Optional: 'Noddack was not the only critic'.
 * Changed as suggested. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "and provided a physical explanation by von Weizsäcker". Has the grammar gone awry here?
 * No, but split the sentence. Nuclear isomerism isn't covered in high school, and some readers had it confused with chemical isomerism. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "when the energy of the incident neutrons had energy less than 2.5 MeV". Maybe delete "the energy of"?
 * Changed as suggested. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "when the energy of the incident neutrons had energy less than 2.5 MeV; when they had less". Should one "less" actually be 'more'?
 * Yes. Corrected. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "contaminated with yttrium, which is also chemically similar." Delete "also".
 * Deleted. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "though without her possessions". Did the missing possessions include the ring?
 * That was Hahn's; she later returned it to him. Deleted "though without her possessions" Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Hahn dismissed it as contamination". What is "it"? (This is a new section.)
 * The 3.5-hour half-line. Re-worded. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "used fractional crystallisation to separate it from its barium carrier". Should "it" not be 'them'?
 * Sure. Changed. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I (think I) understand why you do it, but your extended quotes, especially the one in "Eureka!", seem to me to fall foul of MOS:QUOTE: "While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Using too many quotes is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing ... It is generally recommended that content be written in Wikipedia editors' own words. Consider paraphrasing quotations into plain and concise text when appropriate". I feel that the article would actually benefit if this were applied to Frisch's quote.
 * Actually, I think it was lifted from Meitner's article. I have reduced it by paraphrasing the first half. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * "Nobel prize" section. The insertion of some dates in the first two sections would be helpful.
 * Added some. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. Much appreciated. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  23:08, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Great work, happy to support. Gog the Mild (talk) 09:53, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

Hi Hawkeye, mostly typos and questions etc as my knowledge of physics and chemistry is very sketchy (though I will say I could understand 95+% of this story of discovery) ... That's it. Thanks, JennyOz (talk) 06:43, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Coordinator notes
I've requested a source review. Please let me know if there's one I'm not spotting. -- Laser brain  (talk)  12:21, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Imma make some comments on the sourcing. First, the harv can probably be removed. It seems like the source formatting is consistent and has the requisite information. I note that the bibliography relies heavily on books written by physicists - I take these are good enough sources for a heavily historical physics article? Likewise, many of the references are to individual academic papers. I am a little too unfamiliar with the topic to judge NPOV on the subject matter. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:25, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, most of the books in the References section are by physicists; Otto Hahn is the only chemist. The others are notable historians of science: Ronald W. Clark, Richard Rhodes and Ruth Lewin Sime. Sime wrote a biography of Meitner, whose article has been languishing at GAN since July. The article is almost entirely sourced from the secondary sources in the References section; the original papers are provided to allow the readers to look them up themselves, as is usual in scientific articles. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  03:24, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Source review - Pass
I'm not really sure if the above comments were meant to be a formal source review but just in case I'll do one below.
 * University of California Press is given different locations in it's two uses: Berkeley and Los Angeles vs just Berkeley
 * Added Los Angeles. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Princeton University missing location
 * Added. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure what's going on with the second further reading link, it's missing a publisher/work/website and what are those words supposed to be? (needs a space in any case)
 * Deleted. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OCLC for thesis here
 * Added. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Ref 18 should give the German title and then the translated English title (like you do for ref 69)
 * Added. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Is there an archive link that could be put for ref 22 since it's inactive now?
 * Its not inactive at all; its just doi that is broken. Added a link. Reported the error to DOI. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Translated title needed for refs 31, 44, 48, 51 (I'm only bothering about this because you do it for refs 57, 69, 71)
 * Translated. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Are 115 and 116 supposed to have those dates as retrieval dates?
 * Yes. Corrected. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Just minor things here – I don't see any issue with reliability, all scholarly/academic sources. Spot Checks not done since the user is an experienced FA nominator. Aza24 (talk) 05:38, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your review. Much appreciated.   Hawkeye7   (discuss)  07:54, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Just two things missed, ref 31 needs a translated title still and 48 should have the German title in the title parameter and the English title in the translated title one. In order to not hold up this nomination, I'll give a preemptive pass with the expectation that these two minor things are addressed. Good work here. Aza24 (talk) 19:02, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Corrected. Hawkeye7   (discuss)  19:43, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Basics of Filmmaking is an excellent example of a well fleshed out program of study.
 * There's a clear link to the course organizer with an invitation to make contact
 * Computer requirements are clearly spelled out
 * What's being offered is clearly described
 * The benefits of taking the course are explained
 * The target student is clearly defined (in this case high school students planning to go to film school).
 * Participation can begin anytime.

One of the characteristics of Wikiversity is students discover a course at any time. It's therefore difficult to bring along a consistent cohort of learners. This issue needs to be discussed more broadly.

Here's the course description:

Basics of Filmmaking

 * WikiU Film School is a course in Narrative Film Production of 30 lessons (under construction) which shows you the making of a tiny motion picture. With each lesson, you can participate in the making of the movie.

 * This course is designed for high school students who plan to go to film school. If you plan to ask your parents for $100,000 US for a four year film school, perhaps you should first show them your skill at making a short movie.

 * For other film courses see Narrative Film Production.

 * Hitler's Germany - a course in Nazi Germany (covering economics, politics, and more), involving research and discussion
 * Bloom clock project - an attempt to create a language for discussing the bloom times of wildflowers and other plants that is neutral in respect to climate, region, and hemisphere.

Siskiyou Pass

Siskiyou Pass (sometimes called Siskiyou Summit) is a historic mountain pass in the Siskiyou Mountains of Jackson County. It is the most used pass in the U.S. state of Oregon. The Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) made the Siskiyou Trail over the pass before pioneers traversed it with their wagons, while still later it evolved into a stage road, a railroad line, and a highway route. The name Siskiyou is believed to be derived from Cree, meaning "bob-tailed horse". Siskiyou Pass is west of the summit (high point) of Interstate 5, which is known as Siskiyou Summit (though sometimes it is referred to as "Siskiyou Pass").

Geography
The pass is situated in Jackson County on the road and rail transport link between Oregon and California. It measures 4129 ft above MSL. Situated along Oregon Route 273 (also known as Old Highway 99), it is 5 miles north of California state boundary, and 0.5 miles west of the I-5 summit feature, Siskiyou Summit.

To the west, there is a mountain with a "rounded-top" known as the Ogden Hill, which rises to an elevation of 5837 ft. Pilot Rock is nearby, named for its use as a visual guide for traversing across the pass. Tunnel 13 on the Oregon and California Railroad line, which is now operated by the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad, summits at Siskiyou Pass.

History
Its historic use as a pass is traced to European Americans who ventured into this region during the late 1820s. The first person noted with crossing this pass was Peter Skene Ogden, an HBC fur trader, who led his group of trappers traveling from south to north in February 1827. The hazards and extreme winter climate was experienced in 1829 when Alexander Roderick McLeod encountered a severe blizzard while traveling from Fort Vancouver via the Rogue Valley. It forced him to turn back from the pass. HBC started using the pass as a trail for wagons in the later part of the nineteenth century and then converted it into a stage road, and eventually to a railroad line. The pass was beset with security issues as local Indian tribes attacked the foreign agencies operating on the route including robbing rail cars. Between the 1890s through 1910s, the motivating force changed to locomotive driven snow plowers to push the ice packs and pave way for traffic to pass that could reduce the time of travel which otherwise used to take months in the initial years of travel. By the 1940s, a guardrail system was implemented along the highway, using short, white posts. It is the most used pass in the state.

Road
The pass contains a hazardous stretch of the road starting from Milepost 18 of northbound I-5, which has a steep slope of 6%, negotiating a height of 2000 ft in a short road length of 6 miles. The descent along this highway is considered the most dangerous, particularly on foggy nights when visibility is almost next to nothing. In spite of the hazards involved, 13,000 trucks ply this route every day. To address emergency situations for drivers, escape ramps have been provided at Mileposts 6.3 and 9.5. An extensive warning system has been devised and put into effect to make truckers be aware of what they are likely to face on this pass. The precautionary measures including chaining truck tires along road shoulders, providing designated inspection sites, as well as avoiding travel during night and early morning hours in winter months. It is also recommended that drivers listen to updated weather information and road conditions on the radio before and during the entire journey through the pass.

Rail
The Oregon & California Railroad proposed an alternate route for the Oregon and California rail connection, which would have avoided Siskiyou Pass. However, Oregon politicians decided in favor of the present rail route. When Tunnel 13 was completed in 1887, beneath the Siskiyou Pass, there was finally a rail link between Oregon and California. In the 1920s, the Southern Pacific Railroad constructed the Natron Cutoff, a faster, cheaper route between the two states.

The rail route is currently owned by the Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad. By 2011, almost ten years had lapsed since trains crossed the pass.

The pass was reopened to rail traffic in 2015, linking Black Butte, California and Eugene, Oregon.

Otto Brunfels

Otto Brunfels (also known as Brunsfels or Braunfels) (believed to be born in 1488 – 23 November 1534) was a German theologian and botanist. Carl von Linné listed him among the "Fathers of Botany".

Life
After studying theology and philosophy at the University of Mainz, Brunfels entered a Carthusian monastery in Mainz and later resettled to another Carthusian monastery at Königshofen near Strasbourg. In Strasbourg he got in contact with a learned lawyer Nikolaus Gerbel (they met in person in 1519). Gerbel drew Brunfels' attention to the healing powers of plants and thus gave the impetus to the further botanical investigations.

After the conversion to the Protestantism (he was supported by Franz von Sickingen and Ulrich von Hutten), upon the insistence of the Dean of Frankfurt Johann Indagine, Brunfels became a minister at Steinau an der Straße (1521) and later, in Neuenburg am Rhein. After that he served for eight years as the head of a Carmelite school in Strasbourg. In the list of most important heretics published by the order of the Emperor by the University of Leuven (1550), Brunfels was listed first.

In one of his works he defended Ulrich von Hutten against Erasmus of Rotterdam and published the manuscripts from the Jan Hus heritage. Brunfels' Catalogi virorum illustrium 1527 is considered to be the first book on the history of evangelical Church.

After his friend Ulrich von Hutten had died (1523), Brunfels' religious views brought him into a controversy with Martin Luther and Huldrych Zwingli. Later on he began to study medicine at the University of Basel, (MD 1532). In 1532 Brunfels became a city physician (Stadtarzt) in Bern, where he stayed till the end of his life.

Besides of his numerous theological works, Brunfels published treatises on pedagogics, Arabic language, pharmaceutics, entomology and botany. He is often called a father of botany, because, in his botanical writings, he relied not so much on the ancient authors as on his own observations and described plants according to the latter. In his Herbarum vivae eicones (1530 and 1536, in three parts) and Contrafayt Kräuterbuch (1532–1537, in two parts), the German plants he himself found during his botanical studies are represented with woodcuts (by Hans Weiditz) under their German vernacular names. However, Duane Isely attributes much of Brunfels' popularity to Weiditz, whose woodcuts set a new standard technically, and were done from life, rather being copied from previous works. Brunfels also introduced information about German plants not found in Dioscorides, and described them independently of their medical values, although the descriptions are often poorly written.

A plant genus Brunfelsia (Solanaceae) is named after him.

Infinite element method

The infinite element method is a numerical method for solving problems of engineering and mathematical physics. It is a modification of finite element method. The method divides the domain concerned into sections of infinite length. In contrast with a finite element which is approximated by polynomial expressions on a finite support, the unbounded length of the infinite element is fitted with functions allowing the evaluation of the field at the asymptote. The number of functions and points of interpolations define the accuracy of the element in the infinite direction. The method is commonly used to solve acoustic problems and allows to respect the Sommerfeld condition of non-return of the acoustic waves and the diffusion of the pressure waves in the far field.

Python Programming/Classes

Classes are a way of aggregating similar data and functions. A class is basically a scope inside which various code (especially function definitions) is executed, and the locals to this scope become attributes of the class, and of any objects constructed by this class. An object constructed by a class is called an instance of that class.

Overview
Classes in Python at a glance:

Defining a Class
To define a class, use the following format:

The capitalization in this class definition is the convention, but is not required by the language. It's usually good to add at least a short explanation of what your class is supposed to do. The pass statement in the code above is just to say to the python interpreter just go on and do nothing. You can remove it as soon as you are adding your first statement.

Instance Construction
The class is a callable object that constructs an instance of the class when called. Let's say we create a class Foo.

To construct an instance of the class, Foo, "call" the class object:

This constructs an instance of class Foo and creates a reference to it in f.

Class Members
In order to access the member of an instance of a class, use the syntax. It is also possible to access the members of the class definition with.

Methods
A method is a function within a class. The first argument (methods must always take at least one argument) is always the instance of the class on which the function is invoked. For example

If this code were executed, nothing would happen, at least until an instance of Foo were constructed, and then bar were called on that instance.

Why a mandatory argument?
In a normal function, if you were to set a variable, such as, you could not access the test variable. Typing  would say it is not defined. This is true in class functions unless they use the  variable.

Basically, in the previous example, if we were to remove self.x, function bar could not do anything because it could not access x. The x in setx would disappear. The self argument saves the variable into the class's "shared variables" database.

Why self?
You do not need to use self. However, it is a norm to use self.

Invoking Methods
Calling a method is much like calling a function, but instead of passing the instance as the first parameter like the list of formal parameters suggests, use the function as an attribute of the instance.

This will output 5

It is possible to call the method on an arbitrary object, by using it as an attribute of the defining class instead of an instance of that class, like so:

This will have the same output.

Dynamic Class Structure
As shown by the method setx above, the members of a Python class can change during runtime, not just their values, unlike classes in languages like C++ or Java. We can even delete f.x after running the code above.

Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in ? File " ", line 5, in bar AttributeError: Foo instance has no attribute 'x'

Another effect of this is that we can change the definition of the Foo class during program execution. In the code below, we create a member of the Foo class definition named y. If we then create a new instance of Foo, it will now have this new member.

Viewing Class Dictionaries
At the heart of all this is a dictionary that can be accessed by "vars(ClassName)"

At first, this output makes no sense. We just saw that g had the member y, so why isn't it in the member dictionary? If you remember, though, we put y in the class definition, Foo, not g.

And there we have all the members of the Foo class definition. When Python checks for g.member, it first checks g's vars dictionary for "member," then Foo. If we create a new member of g, it will be added to g's dictionary, but not Foo's.

Note that if we now assign a value to g.y, we are not assigning that value to Foo.y. Foo.y will still be 10, but g.y will now override Foo.y

Sure enough, if we check the values:

Note that f.y will also be 10, as Python won't find 'y' in vars(f), so it will get the value of 'y' from vars(Foo).

Some may have also noticed that the methods in Foo appear in the class dictionary along with the x and y. If you remember from the section on lambda functions, we can treat functions just like variables. This means that we can assign methods to a class during runtime in the same way we assigned variables. If you do this, though, remember that if we call a method of a class instance, the first parameter passed to the method will always be the class instance itself.

Changing Class Dictionaries
We can also access the members dictionary of a class using the __dict__ member of the class.

If we add, remove, or change key-value pairs from g.__dict__, this has the same effect as if we had made those changes to the members of g.

Why use classes?
Classes are special due to the fact once an instance is made, the instance is independent of all other instances. I could have two instances, each with a different x value, and they will not affect the other's x.

and  will print different values.

New Style Classes
New style classes were introduced in python 2.2. A new-style class is a class that has a built-in as its base, most commonly object. At a low level, a major difference between old and new classes is their type. Old class instances were all of type. New style class instances will return the same thing as x.__class__ for their type. This puts user defined classes on a level playing field with built-ins. Old/Classic classes are slated to disappear in Python 3. With this in mind all development should use new style classes. New Style classes also add constructs like properties and static methods familiar to Java programmers.

Old/Classic Class

New Style Class

Properties
Properties are attributes with getter and setter methods.

and since Python 2.6, with @property decorator

Static Methods
Static methods in Python are just like their counterparts in C++ or Java. Static methods have no "self" argument and don't require you to instantiate the class before using them. They can be defined using staticmethod

They can also be defined using the function decorator @staticmethod.

Inheritance
Like all object oriented languages, Python provides support for inheritance. Inheritance is a simple concept by which a class can extend the facilities of another class, or in Python's case, multiple other classes. Use the following format for this:

ClassName is what is known as the derived class, that is, derived from the base classes. The derived class will then have all the members of its base classes. If a method is defined in the derived class and in the base class, the member in the derived class will override the one in the base class. In order to use the method defined in the base class, it is necessary to call the method as an attribute on the defining class, as in Foo.setx(f,5) above:

Once again, we can see what's going on under the hood by looking at the class dictionaries.

When we call g.x, it first looks in the vars(g) dictionary, as usual. Also as above, it checks vars(Bar) next, since g is an instance of Bar. However, thanks to inheritance, Python will check vars(Foo) if it doesn't find x in vars(Bar).

Multiple inheritance
As shown in section, a class can be derived from multiple classes:

A tricky part about multiple inheritance is method resolution: upon a method call, if the method name is available from multiple base classes or their base classes, which base class method should be called.

The method resolution order depends on whether the class is an old-style class or a new-style class. For old-style classes, derived classes are considered from left to right, and base classes of base classes are considered before moving to the right. Thus, above, BaseClass1 is considered first, and if method is not found there, the base classes of BaseClass1 are considered. If that fails, BaseClass2 is considered, then its base classes, and so on. For new-style classes, see the Python documentation online.

 * The Python 2.3 Method Resolution Order, python.org

Special Methods
There are a number of methods which have reserved names which are used for special purposes like mimicking numerical or container operations, among other things. All of these names begin and end with two underscores. It is convention that methods beginning with a single underscore are 'private' to the scope they are introduced within.

__init__
One of these purposes is constructing an instance, and the special name for this is '__init__'. __init__ is called before an instance is returned (it is not necessary to return the instance manually). As an example,

outputs A.__init__

__init__ can take arguments, in which case it is necessary to pass arguments to the class in order to create an instance. For example,

outputs Hi! Here is an example showing the difference between using __init__ and not using __init__:

outputs Hi! Hi!

__del__
Similarly, '__del__' is called when an instance is destroyed; e.g. when it is no longer referenced.

__enter__ and __exit__
These methods are also a constructor and a destructor but they're only executed when the class is instantiated with. Example:

init enter exit del

__new__
constructor.

Representation
{| style="width:100%;"
 * - style="vertical-align: top;"
 * style="width:75%;" |

__str__
Converting an object to a string, as with the print statement or with the str conversion function, can be overridden by overriding __str__. Usually, __str__ returns a formatted version of the objects content. This will NOT usually be something that can be executed.

For example:

outputs apple

__repr__
This function is much like __str__. If __str__ is not present but this one is, this function's output is used instead for printing. __repr__ is used to return a representation of the object in string form. In general, it can be executed to get back the original object.

For example:

outputs (note the difference: it may not be necessary to put it inside a print, however in Python 2.7 it does) Bar('apple')
 * style="width:25%;" align="right" |
 * }

Attributes
{| style="width:100%;"
 * - style="vertical-align: top;"
 * style="width:75%;" |

__setattr__
This is the function which is in charge of setting attributes of a class. It is provided with the name and value of the variables being assigned. Each class, of course, comes with a default __setattr__ which simply sets the value of the variable, but we can override it.

Traceback (most recent call last): File " ", line 1, in ? AttributeError: Unchangable instance has no attribute 'x'

__getattr___
Similar to __setattr__, except this function is called when we try to access a class member, and the default simply returns the value.

__delattr__
This function is called to delete an attribute.

 * style="width:25%;" align="right" |
 * }

Operator Overloading
Operator overloading allows us to use the built-in Python syntax and operators to call functions which we define.

Programming Practices
The flexibility of python classes means that classes can adopt a varied set of behaviors. For the sake of understandability, however, it's best to use many of Python's tools sparingly. Try to declare all methods in the class definition, and always use the. syntax instead of __dict__ whenever possible. Look at classes in C++ and Java to see what most programmers will expect from a class.

Encapsulation
Since all python members of a python class are accessible by functions/methods outside the class, there is no way to enforce encapsulation short of overriding __getattr__, __setattr__ and __delattr__. General practice, however, is for the creator of a class or module to simply trust that users will use only the intended interface and avoid limiting access to the workings of the module for the sake of users who do need to access it. When using parts of a class or module other than the intended interface, keep in mind that the those parts may change in later versions of the module, and you may even cause errors or undefined behaviors in the module, since encapsulation is private.

Doc Strings
When defining a class, it is convention to document the class using a string literal at the start of the class definition. This string will then be placed in the __doc__ attribute of the class definition.

Docstrings are a very useful way to document your code. Even if you never write a single piece of separate documentation (and let's admit it, doing so is the lowest priority for many coders), including informative docstrings in your classes will go a long way toward making them usable.

Several tools exist for turning the docstrings in Python code into readable API documentation, e.g., EpyDoc.

Don't just stop at documenting the class definition, either. Each method in the class should have its own docstring as well. Note that the docstring for the method explode in the example class Documented above has a fairly lengthy docstring that spans several lines. Its formatting is in accordance with the style suggestions of Python's creator, Guido van Rossum in PEP 8.

To a class
It is fairly easy to add methods to a class at runtime. Lets assume that we have a class called Spam and a function cook. We want to be able to use the function cook on all instances of the class Spam:

This will output cooking 5 eggs

To an instance of a class
It is a bit more tricky to add methods to an instance of a class that has already been created. Lets assume again that we have a class called Spam and we have already created eggs. But then we notice that we wanted to cook those eggs, but we do not want to create a new instance but rather use the already created one:

Now we can cook our eggs and the last statement will output: cooking 5 eggs

Using a function
We can also write a function that will make the process of adding methods to an instance of a class easier.

All we now need to do is call the attach_method with the arguments of the function we want to attach, the instance we want to attach it to and the class the instance is derived from. Thus our function call might look like this:

Note that in the function add_method we cannot write instance.fxn = f since this would add a function called fxn to the instance.

Lucid Dreaming/Reality Checks/Mirrors

Presentation
With the mirrors reality check, you check to see if you look normal in a mirror.

You could do this reality check every time you see a mirror.

Examples of this reality check working

 * I walk into a bathroom, and notice a mirror on the wall. I look in my reflection, and see that my hair's purple. My first thought is that I must have dyed my hair purple, but then I can't remember doing that, and realize that I must be dreaming.
 * The image of me was blurry, and I didn't recognize my face.
 * I looked into the mirror and appeared normal. I tried to change my face and it worked. My face got larger and then smaller.

Examples of this reality check failing

 * I'm in a shop selling costumes. I walk up to a mirror, and see that I'm dressed like a clown. I figure I'm trying on a clown costume, and continue on my way nonlucidly.
 * I'm walking down a hallway on the upper story of a building, and the floor suddenly collapses and I fall into a room of mirrors. I notice in my reflection that I have green skin, and figure that must be because I was so scared from the fall.

Invitation (song)

"Invitation" is a song by Bronisław Kaper with lyrics by Paul Francis Webster, which originally appeared in the film A Life of Her Own (1950). Although it was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Score in the original film, it only became a jazz standard after being used as the theme in the 1952 film Invitation. Tony Thomas notes that it was selected for the film for its degree of poignance. It is considered to be Kaper's second best known song after "On Green Dolphin Street". JazzStandards.com describes it as a "lush and haunting score" and notes that it is most associated with John Coltrane, who recorded it in 1958. Howard Morgen, who arranged it for guitar, writes that the "haunting" tune has "long been recognized by jazz players for its potential as an interesting mood piece" and "still sounds fresh and contemporary today."

George Shearing arranged the song for piano, while Frank Mantooth arranged a Latin version of it. Dakota Staton covered it on her 1958 album Dynamic! In 1961, Rosemary Clooney recorded the song with a lush arrangement by Nelson Riddle and featured it as the first track on her album Love, where the lyrics acquired special poignancy, given that Clooney and Riddle, both married, were having a doomed affair at the time.

It has since been recorded by the vocalists Carmen McRae, Freddy Cole, Andy Bey, and Patricia Barber; pianists Bill Evans, Randy Halberstadt, Steve Kuhn, and Renee Rosnes; saxophonists John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Herb Geller, Vincent Herring, Sahib Shihab, and Don Braden; trumpeters Roy Hargrove and Brian Lynch; bassist Ray Drummond; and vibraphonist Cal Tjader (on his album Latin Kick), among others. David Frackenpohl arranged a version for guitar, which was published in the 2004 Mel Bay book Jazz Guitar Standards: Chord Melody Solos.

Jazz critic Ted Gioia notes the following:

"'Invitation' is an example of the peculiar process of 'survival of the fittest' that has shaped the jazz repertoire. ... [It] has survived solely because jazz musicians have enjoyed playing it. This song was probably too complex for the mass market in 1952, and it certainly is far beyond what passes for popular music today. During the course of its 48-bar form, 'Invitation' uses all 12 tones as a chord root at least once, and the harmonies are thick with ... higher extensions. ... 'Invitation' is still inviting enough to keep the jazz musicians interested, and is likely to hold on to this constituency for some time to come."

Whydah (1797 ship)

Whydah was launched in 1797 at Whitby as a West Indiaman. She was captured but returned or remained in her owners' hands. She was wrecked in January 1803.

Whydah first appeared in Lloyd's Register (LR) in 1798 with Frisstle, master, Fletcher, owner, and trade Liverpool–Jamaica.

In October 1801 Whydah was in company with Leviathan and sailing from the north side of Jamaica to Port Antonio to join a homeward-bound convoy. Two feluccas captured them after a severe engagement.

Despite the report, Whydah returned or remained in British hands. LR for 1802 showed her master changing from J.M'Neil to R.Balfour, her owner from Walker & Co. to M'Allister & Co., and her trade from Liverpool–Jamaica to Greenock–Savannah.

Whydah, Balfour, master, was wrecked on 6 January 1803 on Martin's Industry Shoal, in the Atlantic Ocean 55 nmi off Savannah, Georgia, United States. She was on a voyage from the Clyde. The crew and part of the cargo were saved.

Talk:Ben Tankard

No sources.
There are no sources for the following- He was invited to an NBA camp but was injured and cut. Ben "rebounded" from his basketball injury to become the best selling musician known as the pioneer and Godfather of Gospel/Jazz music (multiple Gold and Platinum Records). He is also a guest motivational speaker for the NBA's D-League, Suit designer (Big & Tall), Record Label President, Aircraft Pilot/Owner, and Reality TV co-star with his own new show on Bravo - Thicker Than Water:The Tankards, which premiered November 10, 2013 and has made history as one of the network's highest rated new series with over two million weekly viewers. Statements like -best selling musician known as the pioneer and Godfather of gospel/ Jazz music, have no source and sound like they were written by a PR firm. And so what if he is an aircraft Pilot/ owner? There is no proof of that,nor is it notable. My husband has a pilots lisence, they are common. I'm going to remove the unsourced fluff. If anyone kind find a ref, add the statements,without the fluff,back in the article. <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 22:59, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Unsourced stuff again.
Here is more unsourced statements I'm removing-Now, based in Murfreesboro, TN (near Nashville), Tankard is an avid aviator and instrument rated pilot. He flies to most of his concerts on his own fleet of airplanes. His favorite aircraft is the Pilatus PC-12. Ben flies the following planes: Cessna Businessliner- 401A / N401BT and Cessna Skyrocket 337C / N2469S. He also has FAA registration N number reserved for the Pilatus PC12: N192PC. First, where is the proof that he is a instrument rated pilot? Why is it notable what his favorite plane is, much less,where is the proof he owns the planes? His fleet, makes it sound like he owns a fleet of airplanes. I find this odd, as owning a fleet if planes is very expensive. Most planes are owned by a company and the pilot will rent/ lease the plane,but not own it. I actually went to flight aware dot com, and got info about the N number of the Pilatus, N192PC. The N number is correct for the Pilatus, but it is listed as an unknown owner,and last flew Saturday,May,21,2005. It landed 8 years ago. Here is the link-http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N192PC <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 23:28, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Birthday
On the article, Ben Tankard's birthday is shown as January 10th in one place and January 24th in the other. Both dates are unsourced, and this can confuse readers. Is there any reliable source that mentions his birthday? I am the third reader to bring up the issue about unsourced materials. NHRHS2010  RIP M.H. (1994-2014)  00:19, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
