Learning Java/Programming tips

When to use methods
The ideal method only handles one function, and is named appropriately. Using methods increases readability of your code and makes it easier to expand or change your software. You can also call your methods from separate places, reducing the total number of lines of code. Methods are also used to retrieve data from an object and store data in objects. These methods are called getters and setters. Example:

Methods are allowed to call other methods, but only if they have a different functions. Try using common sense when deciding whether use methods or not. There are multiple analysis tools to see if you are using methods right and efficiently. You should avoid having methods with a lot of lines of code, it often (but not always) indicates that the method can be broken up in smaller methods.

About Arrays
Arrays should be used for variables that have something to do with each other. Basically, arrays are a sets of variables, and arrays are a variable themselves. Here are some examples which declare arrays. Simply declaring an array in this way does not allocate space for the elements of the array. Declaring the array with a list of elements will allocate the space for the elements and also assign their values. To create an array one must use the new operator and specify the length of the array. Each array has an int member called length. It is simply how many items are in the array. You need to initialize each part of the array. To "access" the members of the array: Note: Do NOT use arrays when the members have nothing to do with each other. This causes code errors!

Code formatting
Code formatting is necessary to understand your code more easily. For example, the following is very hard to understand because it is not properly formatted: In much better format: Notice that the code is easier to understand. Every single new block that has { and } should have whitespace preceding it. Example:

To further improve the readability of your code, you should insert one empty line between methods: A good alternative is: You should make a new line after every statement/declaration. If a statement is too long, you can break it down.

Some Integrated Development Environments like Netbeans IDE have an auto-formatting function built in.

Good Comments
Good comments can help make your code look neat. They should tell what you are doing overall, not what you are doing on each line. For example, you can comment an if statement if it is complex, but not every statement has to be commented:

An example of bad commenting would be:

Quick way to convert numbers to strings
There will be a lot of times you need a String and you're working with numbers. This is one of the faster ways to convert numbers to String, but it's not very neat.

Getting numbers from strings
When you need to extract numbers from a string you can use the Wrapper classes to parse them into the number you need.

Why nothing on the increase in the Sales Tax?
The biggest change in policy that Governor Dauguaard pushed was the increase in the States Sales Tax to fund increased government education spending. It should also be noted that the Sales Tax in South Dakota applies to food, indeed all basic items.

Otago Polytechnic is creating this page to enable access to First Line Management courses more generally.

resources
I think we should now go out and find resources to link into this page - such as an example of business writing, video of a scenario of business writing uses or something... time for librarian assistance. --Leighblackall 01:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi

I agree! Perhaps examples of items ranging from use on a day to day basis such as a job advert; to the more exciting items such as a media release. A video scenario coould be on the basis of a team getting together to format the media release, or the structure of a letter to staff announcing closure.

Jan

Cool! Also, I did a search for "writing" in wikiversity and a number of related topics turned up. I have dropped a comment on Technical writing thinking it was the most advanced, and notifying them of this page - looking for collaboration. We should remember to do wikiversity searches like this from time to time so as to find relatable topics and link them in. --Leighblackall 02:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

CisLunarFreighter/Scripts and case studies

This learning trail is following a Problem based learning approach. Pick your "problem" or piece or production task and create and contribute it. Much development is currently taking place on irc.freenode.net; install an irc client and join us at #wikiversity-en or ##STC.

A Script is an outline for a story intended to be shot into an animation clip, short or film movie. There is an introduction to film script formatting Lesson:_Formatting_the_Script which is entirely applicable to animated shorts embedded in games. The same series of lessons covers storyboarding a bit later.Lesson:Thumbnail_Storyboard

We start with a story and then analyze and format it to make it easy to communicate with others in our production process. At the moment the only production process noticed interacting with this learning trail are the games cisLunarFreighter and Space Traffic Control but we expect a few others to show up soon.

Links to collaborative drafts (using our familar mediawiki tool) of story shorts which the community is actively creating.

 * /Radio CommunicationsCisLunarFreighter/Scripts_and_case_studies/Radio_communications

Final stories in frozen download PDF format.

Notice that when we wish to finalize a story we can publish it in a PDF on the Wikiversity server for readonly access while leaving the original to continue to evolve. This will eventually allow us to assign tracking numbers ... once we have set up a tracking system ... so people can easily communite via file pointers and tags. Authors will good final stories can also use the PDF format to publish using the Creative Commons license.

Scripts can be analyzed and mutated within the Wikimedia software but there are better tools for putting final scripts into industry standard formats. Proprietary Tools
 * Final Draft - Specialized editing tool to ease and enforce typesetting in film industry standard format. Someone could check it out for usefulness in game short and splash scripts.  insert link here to homepage

Open Source Tools
 * OpenOffice - Strictly a word processor with PDF print capability. All formatting is manual.

Menus and Gameplay Scenarios
A good idea of the form the final menus and gameplay will take is needed to initiate game design and programming activities. An excellent way to start prototyping a game is to layout the menus and playscreens in graphics so that the artists and programmers can start working off of common concepts and exchanging useful information.

The graphic menu prototype is designed to provide easy access to raw material for electronic cut and paste storyboarding opportunity as well as roll over graphics for buttons and preliminary sprites for prototyping and testing. The associated sketches attempt to provide an overview of possible missions within the game play context. Mirwin 08:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

What can be Done with Scripts and Menus?

 * Pre Production is the project phase used for planning multi-media projects just as in big Hollywood production. This involves scripts, prototyping, budgeting, contracting, and many other planning activities.

 * Production involves the most resources and people as it actually creates most of the data products, sets, etc. required to assemble the final project.

 * Post Production is the remaining activities that must be completed in order to ship the product out the door to the customer. This often includes special effects and the various forms of audio and video editing and integration.

Speculation?
Most of this article is dedicated to the prediction of a future event that may or may not happen. I also noticed that this is a highly partisan issue. I wonder if we can't find more examples of this happening already? Mattcwu1988 (talk) 20:48, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Play on words
Shouldn't the article at least mention, for those to whom it won't be obvious, that the term is a play on words that alludes to the (mostly astro)physical phenomenon of red shift / blue shift? Since the political term was coined by an academic, it's virtually impossible this would not have been in his mind as a witticism of the type so usual in American discourse. Had it not been, it's likely he would have chosen something catchy in a more obvious, downmarket way, such as "blue skew." And since Foley is still very much alive, it's always possible to ask him if there's any doubt. But someone of his education really couldn't be unaware of the obvious parallel and the intrinsic humor in drawing it between such disparate contexts. Tosiaan (talk) 06:07, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Neutrality and encyclopedic phrasing of lead section?
The lead section seems to suffer from some significant POV issues, and could probably use a significant re-writing. It makes a lot of assumption and insinuation, bordering on original research. For example, "Americans are accustomed to learning projected results on election day and often assume the projected results announced then are an accurate representation of final results" appears to be unsupported by the attached source, and likely falls under original research. The lead section further describes it in a highly partisan and unencyclopedic manner; "This can lead some Republicans to call the legitimacy of the election into question, when in fact, the election results are legitimate." - A sentence of this nature should not be written in a predictive tone, but should focus on events where this has happened - to do otherwise again borders on original research. Builder018 (talk) 01:19, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Recency bias
This article seems to be worded as if "blue shift" was always true, rather than just occurring during recent elections. 04:24, 26 June 2021 (UTC) TOA The owner of all ☑

History
The Soul Artists of Zoo York were a loose-knit collective of skateboarders and graffiti artists.

The Soul Artists of Zoo York skated an abandoned bowl in Van Cortlandt Park called the "Deathbowl," which was the origin of the name for a documentary on the NY skate scene: Deathbowl to Downtown, narrated by Chloe Sevigny, released in 2008. The name was coined by Marc 'Ali' Edmonds, the president of the original Zoo York graffiti crew.

The clothing company Zoo York, with the blessing of the original Zoo York crew, took the name from the Soul Artists of Zoo York crew.

Great Northern F-8

The Great Northern F-8 is a class of 125 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotives built by the Rogers Locomotive and Machine Works, their corporate successor the American Locomotive Company, and Baldwin Locomotive Works between 1901 and 1907 and operated by the Great Northern Railway until the mid 1950s. They operated throughout the Great Northern pulling freight trains with some being rebuilt with larger cylinders and higher boiler pressure, giving them more tractive effort. Retirement of the F-8s started as early as 1932, but some would last and continue to pull freight until 1956, when the last F-8 was retired.

History
The F-8's pulled mostly freight trains throughout their career, with certain ones being rebuilt to give off more tractive effort. They operated on the Great Northern Railroad from 1901. Beginning in 1932 some were scrapped. until the railroad was dieselized in the 1950’s and by 1956 all of them were retired scrapped, except for two 1147 and 1246 preserved from being scrapped.

Preservation

 * Great Northern 1147 was retired on June 2, 1956, and put on display in a city park in Wenatchee, Washington.

 * Great Northern 1246 was retired and placed on display at Woodland Park in Seattle, Washington on July 18, 1953. It went on loan to Fred Kepner in 1978 for restoration for tourist operation. It was then moved to Chemult, then Klamath and now Merrill, Oregon in 2002.1246's tender was sold to the Heber Valley Railroad in 2022 as Kepner's collection was disposed of after his death. In 2023, the locomotive was acquired by the Northwest Railway Museum and has been moved to Snoqualmie, Washington in April 2023.

Dennis J. O'Donovan

Rev. Dennis J. O'Donovan (died September 26, 1892) was an American Roman Catholic priest.

Early in his priesthood, O'Donovan was a curate at Saint Augustine's in South Boston.

O'Donovan announced on January 14, 1877, that Fr. John Brennan would be leaving St. Mary's Church in Dedham, Massachusetts and St. Catherine's in Norwood, which was part of the same parish. Many in the congregation had been unhappy with Brennan and the week before he became the first priest to ever file for bankruptcy. The parish was also bankrupt at the time. Donovan took over for Brennan as pastor, and served until August 1888. Donovan expanded and improved St. Catherine's during his time as pastor. When he resigned in 1878 due to failing health his parishioners presented him with a resolution expressing their thanks and $550.

On July 29, 1873, Donovan was commissioned as chaplain of the Ninth Regiment of the Massachusetts Militia. He served until April 1876, resigned, and then resumed his post in September of the same year. He resigned again in September 1879. In 1874 he was named chaplain for the prisoners at the Deer Island Prison. In 1875, he was a candidate for the Boston School Committee on the Democratic ticket. He was also a member of the Philo-Celtic Society.

In his final days he was an assistant at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. He died at the Carney Hospital on September 26, 1892, and is buried in Saint Augustine Chapel and Cemetery. His funeral was attended by more than 100 priests.

Untitled
I understand the original creator's desire to distance himself from the strip for professional reasons, but his identity in regards to Space Moose is fairly well-known. I think redacting his name from the article smacks of censorship.  OhNo itsJamie Talk 02:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Just because somebody doesn't want their name associated with something doesn't mean that they'll get their wish. Furthermore, Googling for "adam thrasher" yields 288,000 hits, whereas Googling for "adam thrasher" -"space moose" -"spacemoose" yields only 1,760. Like it or not, Thrasher is associated with Space Moose. --DocSigma 13:03, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

 * But is it necessary that his name redirects to the Space Moose article? <IP_ADDRESS> 20:45, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The 2011 reason for keeping the name in is because reliable sources at the time (newspapers) revealed his real name, and his real name was prominently on the website and in publications. The whole al-Habib thing only came to be when he began to enter the professional world. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:13, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Space Moose and Matt Groenig.
I went to school with Adam, and was an exectuve member of the M.O.O.S.E. club at the University of Alberta. This wasn't much of an accomplishment, as all members were executive members (I believe my portfolia was pizza and crucifixion).

I think there is a connection between Groenig and Thrasher. There's the appearance of Space Moose in Futurama, but I've seen a fringe character, Bee Bobby (Bo), in the Simpsons. I don't know if Bobby appears in many Space Moose strips, but there are two issues of a newsletter for the Moose Club with Thrasher cartoons in them, and Bobby is in one of those. —Preceding unsigned comment added by <IP_ADDRESS> (talk) 06:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Cliona delitrix

Cliona delitrix is a species of burrowing demosponge belonging to the family Clionaidae. It is found in shallow water in the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.

Description
Cliona delitrix is a burrowing sponge that is also encrusting. It usually grows on a massive coral, not only covering its surface but also burrowing into its interior, but is sometimes found on some other calcareous substrate such as a shell or a limestone rock. It does not normally grow on branching corals. It can grow to a diameter of up to a metre (yard) and has several large openings called osculi, 10 to 30 mm wide, surrounded by projecting rims and many small raised papillae 2 to 5 mm wide. The colour is usually red or dark orange.

Distribution and habitat
Cliona delitrix is found in the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico at depths down to 4 m. Its range extends from Cuba and Mexico south to Venezuela and Brazil. It is abundant in some areas especially where there is organic pollution.

Biology
The main corals on which Cliona delitrix grows are Siderastrea siderea, Diploria labyrinthiformis and Montastraea cavernosa. The sponge is a filter feeder, removing bacteria and other organic particles from the current of water sucked in through its many pores by the movement of flagella. There are channels and chambers inside the sponge and the water finds its way through them and exits through the osculi. The zoanthid coral Parazoanthus parasiticus is often found growing on the surface of this sponge.

Cliona delitrix is a hermaphrodite. The male gametes are produced first and get swept out by the water current. If they are sucked into another sponge, fertilisation can take place. The larvae may be brooded for a while inside the sponge but then leave through the osculi and become planktonic. They drift with the current before settling on the seabed. Each one then starts to grows over the surface of whatever it has landed on. It needs calcium to flourish and if it settles on something calcareous like a massive coral, it will secrete acid to dissolve it as well as continuing to grow over the surface. The interior of the coral may be riddled with holes filled with orange spongy material. The sponge kills the part of the coral close to its growing edge. It is an aggressive species and large corals may have the greater part of their surface covered while small individuals may be completely engulfed.

When a massive coral is already dead, the sponge excavates the interior while it colonises the surface, but if encrusting algae are already established on the surface, the sponge's growth is slowed down. In a study off the coast of Colombia, the most favoured host for the sponge was the starlet coral (Siderastrea siderea) and between 6% and 9% of individuals of this species were affected. It is such an aggressive sponge that it is considered likely that, in areas where it is present, branching and foliose corals may come to out-number massive corals in the long term. When a colonised coral dies and crumbles, parts of the sponge in the excavated tunnels may break up and detached pieces may become established in a new location, a form of asexual reproduction.

Cookbook:Southwestern Scramble

 * United States | Breakfast

A Southwestern Scramble is a scrambled eggs recipe with many spicy ingredients, such as onions and chilis. For a complete breakfast, serve with sliced, fried wiejska (Polish sausage), toast, and orange juice.

Ingredients

 * 8 eggs
 * 2 tbsp (30 ml) milk
 * Butter, margarine, or cooking spray, for frying pan
 * 1 medium red onion, chopped
 * 1 medium green chile pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and chopped
 * 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
 * Salt, to taste
 * Black pepper, to taste
 * Serve with hot sauce, such as Tabasco sauce

Procedure

 * 1) Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, add the milk, and beat until well combined.
 * 2) Place a large frying pan over medium heat, add the butter, margarine, or cooking spray, and allow to melt. Add the onions, chili, and bell pepper, and sauté for 2–4 minutes.
 * 3) Add the eggs to the pan, and allow to cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until they just begin to set.
 * 4) Turn the heat up to high, and begin scrambling the eggs by scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula and folding the cooked egg into the egg mixture.
 * 5) When the eggs are still moist, but mostly cooked, remove from the fire and plate.
 * 6) Serve while still hot.

Notes, tips, and variations

 * To adjust the spiciness, use more or fewer chili peppers, or use types varying levels of heat.
 * The chilis are seeded because of the intense heat in the seeds, where the majority of the spicy capsaicin is. The seeds can be left in, but the scramble will be much hotter.
 * Be sure to scrape the entire bottom of the pan, as well as the sides. Otherwise, those areas where the egg is not scraped will burn.
 * Carryover heat will continue to cook the eggs, so they should be removed from the fire while still slightly underdone, or they will be overcooked.

aplastic anemia

Aplastic anemia is a type of anemia. The term "anemia" usually refers to a condition in which your blood has a lower than normal number of red blood cells. Anemia also can occur if your red blood cells don't contain enough hemoglobin (HEE-muh-glow-bin). This iron-rich protein helps carry oxygen to your body.

In people who have aplastic anemia, the body doesn't make enough red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This is because the bone marrow's stem cells are damaged. (Aplastic anemia also is called bone marrow failure.)

Many diseases, conditions, and factors can damage the stem cells. These conditions can be acquired or inherited. "Acquired" means you aren't born with the condition, but you develop it. "Inherited" means your parents passed the gene for the condition on to you.

In many people who have aplastic anemia, the cause is unknown.

Aplastic anemia is a syndrome of bone marrow failure characterized by peripheral pancytopenia and marrow hypoplasia. Mild macrocytosis is observed in association with stress erythropoiesis and elevated fetal hemoglobin levels. Paul Ehrlich introduced the concept of aplastic anemia in 1888 when he studied the case of a pregnant woman who died of bone marrow failure. However, it was not until 1904 that Anatole Chauffard named this disorder aplastic anemia.

Talk:DeAngelo Hall

Youngest Ever to Get an Interception
That's what the article says. I have no idea if that is true or not, so I added the "needs citation" thing. Anyone know how to verify that?

Contradiction
Another user improperly noted in the article the contradiction here. The statement that is contradictory is:

"Although Owens gained 112 receiving yards, Hall made Owens a virtual non-factor on many of the Eagles' failed crucial third down conversions" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ultimadesigns (talk • contribs)

112 receiving yards is a lot to consider Owens a "non-factor." This should be elaborated upon and clarified.
 * I have removed the text - thank you for pointing it out. Please keep in mind that, when possible, it is preferable to fix a problem than to tag it. BigDT 22:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

"Inching Closer to the Number One Spot"
Removed this. Not only is it POV, it is contradictory to what coaches and players say. He is NOT close to being the best corner in the league right now, and has gotten burned for big preformances this year more than a few times.

Find a scouting report that puts him in the elite status. He's not consistent enough. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by IceJew (talk • contribs) 04:17, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

The new "Prime Time"
No way is he comparable to Deion Sanders. No corner could ever be. He's gotten burned several times. I also agree with the other guy on how Owens was a factor with 112 RECEIVING YARDS. If anything this article should elaborate more on how immature he is. I swear some people play the madden video game they see that the game has him as a "shutdown corner" and they come here thinking it's canon information. Ridiculous.

he's easily a pro bowl caliber corner. he gets burned cos hes always trying to jump routes and get interceptions

This section was removed, apparently because only two sources were cited. I have restored it and added add'l sources(and can add more if nec'y).Jimintheatl (talk) 14:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It keeps getting deleted, not because of the amount of sources, but because of the sources themselves. Your reference for him being "selfish" does not mention him being selfish at all.  The next part of the addition, MeAngelo, has five references.  Of the five, one is a blog, and the other four only has MeAngelo written in comments by readers themselves.  Stop adding it. Jwalte04 (talk) 17:14, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The sources say what the edit says.Jimintheatl (talk) 18:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Message board loons are not reliable sources. For adding the "MeAngelo" thing to even be a consideration, you would need to find an actual news article discussing it.  If it isn't significant enough for the news media to cover it, it doesn't belong here.  Everyone knows that some message board types refer to him as "MeAngelo", but message board types refer to a lot of players by a lot of rude names.  Wikipedia's job is not to be an outlet for their namecalling.  If the media doesn't think it important enough to report the name, then neither do we. --B (talk) 18:13, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know how closely you read the refs. Can I suggest that loyalty to an alma mater (and its athletes), while perhaps admirable, may cloud judgment?Jimintheatl (talk) 21:15, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I clicked on each reference and searched for "meangelo".  had it repeatedly, but only in user comments.   had it only in user comments.   is a message board and not an appropriate source of anything.   is a blog.   has it only in user comments.  What else would you like for me to read?  And no, there's no loyalty to him.  He is one of the least popular players among Tech fans.  But we don't sweep BLP aside for unpopular people. --B (talk) 22:54, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * This section should be removed. WP:NPOV states that articles should be impartial and this is clearly a defamatory statement as well as the reference, which also presents the same bias. - Fastily (talk) 05:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

The issue was BLP, I love how it has been balanced, wikicookie for whoever did that!--Ipatrol (talk) 20:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

Personal Section
Looking at the Personal section more closely, the following sentence gives undue weight to this topic:

 * "Hall was not cited after his pit bulls attacked a Lawrenceville, Georgia man while the man was walking his dogs. The attack happened after Hall left the dogs with his brother, Tyrone Hall, a former Chicago Bears back-up fullback. The victim and his dog were treated for injuries and released."

While accurate and verifiable, including information about the subject not being cited for an incident involving his dogs that he was not present at does not meet the WP:WEIGHT guideline for an article about DeAngelo Hall. Looking to get other's thoughts prior to rescinding this sentence. -- Thanks, Willowsan (talk) 18:44, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I would axe it. Quadzilla99 (talk) 21:59, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Gamaliel Bradford (abolitionist)

Gamaliel Bradford (1795–1839) was an American physician, the superintendent of Massachusetts General Hospital, and an abolitionist.

Early life and education
He was born in Boston on November 17, 1795, one of nine children of Captain Gamaliel Bradford and Elizabeth Hickling Bradford. At the age of 12 he spent nine months as a student in a Catholic seminary in Messina. He entered Harvard University in 1810 and was graduated in 1814. He was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.

While studying medicine, he worked as a private tutor and as an assistant teacher at the Boston Latin School. His studies were interrupted in 1818 by a life-threatening bout of typhus. In 1819 he went to the University of Edinburgh to complete his education, returning in the spring of 1820.

Career
From 1821 to 1827, Bradford practiced medicine in Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts. In the mid-1820s he taught physiology. In 1827, he gave up practicing medicine and became the manager of a large South Boston brewery. He left the brewery in 1833, and a few months later was appointed Superintendent of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Abolitionism
Bradford attended the founding meeting of the New England Anti-Slavery Society in 1832, but did not become a member. He was put off by William Lloyd Garrison's manner and thought his insistence on immediate emancipation was unrealistic. In 1835, however, when Boston's political leaders tried to pass legislation silencing Garrison and other local abolitionists, Bradford published an open letter in the Courier in which he defended the abolitionists' Constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. The letter was later reprinted as a pamphlet. He argued that the abolitionists had as much right to try to influence public opinion as supporters of the Temperance movement, and noted that Benjamin Franklin had signed an anti-slavery resolution in 1790.

Early in 1836, leaders of the Society met with state legislators to try to persuade them not to suppress their activities "by political fiat." Bradford joined Samuel Joseph May, Samuel Edmund Sewall, and Charles Follen, and made a speech in defense of abolitionism that was described in the Liberator as "eloquent, thrilling, and impassioned." Bradford argued that the abolitionists' activities were in keeping with international, constitutional, and moral law. In support of his third point, he cited Biblical law:

"I come last to the moral law. The abolitionists, as we all do, Sir, look for the moral law in the Bible — they hold that the law and prophets hang from the precept 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.' 'But who,' says their opposer, 'is my neighbor?'"

In answer to that question, Bradford then cited the Parable of the Good Samaritan.

The abolitionists won this particular battle, and in January 1837, the Massachusetts House of Representatives voted to allow the Anti-Slavery Society to use their hall.

Personal life
Bradford was an advocate of temperance, pacifism, and strict Sabbatarianism. He was a mentor to Ralph Waldo Emerson. In his spare time he enjoyed writing essays and reviews, which were published widely in journals such as the Boston Spectator, the New England Journal, the New-England Magazine, the North American Review, and the Christian Examiner.

In March 1821, Bradford married Sophia Rice, daughter of Colonel Nathan Rice. He had a son, also named Gamaliel Bradford (1831-1911). He began having epileptic seizures in 1832. The attacks grew more frequent every year. In 1838 he embarked on a four-month Mediterranean cruise, hoping it would improve his health, but it had little effect. On October 22, 1830, at the age of 44, he had an unusually severe seizure and died.

From 1833 to 1839, Bradford kept a diary which contains many accounts of conversations with people such as John Quincy Adams, William Ellery Channing, Edward Everett, John Gorham Palfrey, Charles Russell Lowell, Sr., and Judge Lemuel Shaw. The four unpublished volumes are kept at the Houghton Library, Harvard University.

These fish are popular aquarium pets due to their small size, tolerance for poor water quality, and bright colors, though their lifespans tend to be shorter than other fish.

Talk:more equal

more equal
With a little reluctance, I have to nominate this ‘idiom’. If kept it needs cleanup: it's clearly not a noun and the etymology isn't one. But I don't think it should be kept. It's at best a literary quote. To call it idiomatic is to spoil Orwell's joke. The whole point about the phrase is that it makes no logical sense and to ‘define’ the collocation as meaning ‘superior’ kills the whole point of the tortured phraseology. In that sense it's not a set phrase, it's no more than the sum of its parts, i.e. illogical. Widsith 19:07, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I agree, delete it. How interesting that I just looked up and saw this addition to WT:RFD after looking through The Gulag Archipelago (for greensward)! — Beobach972 19:13, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * I don’t think this idiomatic adjective is definable. It relies on being logically absurd (as Widsith said), conceptually impossible, and by appealing to the quite visceral and nebulous feelings of positivity that are associated with æquality and égalitarianism by the pigs’ subjects and the typical Animal Farm reader (i.e., those with leftist idealistic tendencies like socialists and communists). That is, like newspeak, it knocks out a person’s critical faculties and appeals to that person’s underlying emotional motivations, thus inspiring admiration, devotion, and so on for the authority privileged with being called “more equal”. As an analysis of Orwell’s literary device, this is interesting; however, as it cannot be reduced to a dictionary definition, it is perhaps unsuitable for inclusion in Wiktionary. If that is the case, then it ought to be deleted. But in any case, it should not remain whilst it retains such a simplistic and incorrect definition that does the subtly clever literary device no justice whatsoever. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 19:38, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. Is someone intentionally picking on Connel?  Anyway, I removed the etymology rant and added 2 citations.  The definition could still use some work.  The idiom is useful simply because "more equal" often gets used instead of "more/greater equality" (even though it shouldn't), so it's important to understand there's an idiomatic sense.--Halliburton Shill 08:48, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Eh? What's Connel got to do with this?  Widsith 08:55, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Ummm... the original author of the page? -- Visviva 15:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The quotation from Jane Austen’s Emma seems like a different sense — I don’t personally understand it. † Raifʻhār Doremítzwr 14:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * It is a different sense, it's been moved to the equal page now (that sense always comparable). Widsith 14:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * The CBS quotation is a reference / an allusion to Orwell's use of the words (and probably not durably archived), which, in turn, derive their ‘meaning’ precisely from their lack of meaning : equal is (often taken to be) incomparable (although, as we've seen, some senses are comparable), hence more equal makes no sense. — Beobach972 14:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Hmm... why is this defined as a noun, by the way? — Beobach972 14:51, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep, in frequent and idiomatic use in English -- and while some aspects of its significance may lie beyond our scope, the definition given seems to cover the most common use of this phrase fairly well.  See these Google results.  Although I think perhaps a move to more equal than others might be ideal.  -- Visviva 15:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Regarding the nominator's broader point, it certainly wasn't idiomatic when Orwell used it, but it has become idiomatic since then, thanks to the popularity of Animal Farm and the uptake of many of its concepts. -- Visviva 15:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. While I understand it may be hard for people to witness me lapsing into a momentary bit of "descriptivism," (having entered this term after seeing it used as a cliché here in a Wiktionary discussion,) I'm taken aback by the RFD nomination.  I do routinely expect to see cleanup on entries I make.  But for an expression of such historic importance and rock-solid unquestionable literary value (not to mention the clearly widespread idiomatic use colloquially,) I'm pretty confused as to why it is nominated for the memory hole instead of WT:RFC.  That is, with the "appearance in a well-known work" clause, it passed RFV before being nominated here.  I trust the rewrite(s) it has received, makes it an acceptable entry, to all, now?  Or is it that we shouldn't define it, instructing our readers to read the classic, instead?  --Connel MacKenzie 23:26, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. I hear my housemates (for example) use it often enough, and the Google evidence shows that it is well established as a common English idiom.  If we are wrangling over the definition, then let's wrangle, not delete. ArielGlenn 02:51, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep. If only because I entered the cliché that Connel saw (I believe), and then wondered if perhaps it deserved an entry. This discussion leads me to think that it does. Algrif 16:25, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Meaning
I've always been puzzled by the structure of the idiom "more equal". If you don't know the context that this phrase was used in (Orwell's Animal Farm), how does "more equal" suggest "better"? As a native Hebrew speaker, this phrase is perfectly logical to me, because in Hebrew one word, שווה means both "equal" and "worth", so "more equal" and "worth more" are the same phrase, making Orwell's phrase very logical. But I wonder how native English speakers actually find logic in this phrase. Nyh (talk) 12:47, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
