The title "Geslacht!"

edit

I've been editing the Raven van Dorst article. Is the TV program title Geslacht! a play on words in Dutch? In addition to the literal meaning of "sex" (as in biological sex) it possibly also suggests something like "slaughtered" (afgeslacht, geslachte). However, since I don't know Dutch at all, is this just a misunderstanding on my part? — The Anome (talk) 13:39, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, the word has both meanings in Dutch. But I cannot find in Dutch articles that the program title is meant as a play on words; I think the meaning in this context will be 'gender'. Erik Wannee (talk) 20:18, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I recently created the page Janny Knol, the chief of the Dutch police. Could someone help me integrate/add it into the Wikiproject. Also, if you know more, please help edit. Thanks. Alexander vee (talk) 01:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Is there anyone able to obtain photographs of the remains of windmills at Annen, Bonnen, Emmen, Erm, Havelte, Nieuw-Buinen, Nieuw-Weerdinge and Ruinerwolde so that they can be used to improve the list of windmills in Drenthe. Please upload images to Commons and add them to the list. Mjroots (talk) 18:46, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

We could probably use the help of someone who can read the source in question in its original language to resolve a minor ambiguity in the article. Just Step Sideways from this world ..... today 21:41, 16 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
