[edit] Racism

Hey Jemijan. I don't think it was me who said that racism didn't appear in dictionaries -- if it was I have completely forgotten the information. However, the best way to find out when a word entered the language is to consult the Oxford English Dictionary (OED); a good library should have one. NoahB (talk) 19:32, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SEKEM

Thanks for contributing to the SEKEM article; it's good to have sources from closer to its location. The talk page discussion is not really relevant any more; the comments are from someone who didn't look carefully at the citations in the article.

The arbitration referred to decided that anthroposophical publications, being in-house, should not be used to support controversial or judgment-laden content about anthroposophical organizations. This is not relevant here; it's meant to avoid someone quoting a SEKEM publication to assert that "SEKEM is the best public-service organization in Egypt", for example. It's better if an independent authority asserts this!! Hgilbert (talk) 21:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
