Talk:Drug test

message: I am working on a new paragraph about the legal situation in European countries. It's quite different, companies can receive hefty fines if they do something that would violate labour or privacy laws. Of course, drug testing in Europe is entirely legal for certain at risk professions. Emphasis is placed on a medical exam when necessary, and results of drug tests are not directly communicated to the employer but treated as part of the medical exam to determine whether an applicant is fit for work. It would make for a great discussion topic as this is approached so differently in the Old World. I hope to complete my research this week, and I welcome suggestions and improvements from the interested readership. Osterluzei (talk) 01:27, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Autobiography of Malcolm X

message: The Construction section is far too long and detailed for a general encyclopedia article, and reads more like a graduate thesis in literary criticism. Much of the section appears to focus more on the theories of specific critics who are mentioned repeatedly by name.

Talk:God (male deity)

message: Reading the Goddess-article, I noticed that there was a specific article about female gods, but not about male ones. The one linked to in the Goddess-article is about deities in general, regardless of gender. Therefore I started this one. 83.83.3.190 01:37, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rationale for article creation 

message: I don't know about other religions, but in Judaism, God is most assuredly not a male deity.  The word for a god is masculine grammatical gender, but this does not mean that God is male.  In Hebrew, the word for war (an activity generally associated with men) is feminine, while the word for a woman's breast is masculine.  I'm pretty sure God is also viewed as genderless in Islam and Christianity.  I think the biggest problem with this article is probably that English doesn't have the concept of grammatical gender, only natural gender, and so translations into English from languages with grammatical gender seem to portray a world which is actually only an inappropriate and incorrect projection of English language/culture. Tomer TALK 03:59, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)
*  I must admit I'm not completely 100% sure about Judaism. In both Christianity and Islam, however, people refer to their god as 'Lord'. Being from an orthodox protestant family myself, I never heard of God being genderless, only as male... Djadek 11:42, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: It doesn't seem to be widely known that the Macquaries dictionary was not started from scratch but was based on an American dictionary which is not so well known. The Encyclopedic World Dictionary, itself based on the American College Dictionary (1947–1967).
There is surely lots of information useful to the article here: http://www.sun.ac.za/wat/translex/MACQUA3.html

As for the origin of the Macquarie, you don't have to go off to some South African website, the Prefaces to the first edition (1981) acknowledge the debt to the Encyclopedic World Dictionary and the American College Dictionary.
