Real Man Magazine
A tag has been placed on Real Man Magazine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Real Man Magazine and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bonadea (talk) 11:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

"Song of Songs" edits problematic
Unfortunately, your edits to this article were quite problematic in a number of ways, starting with very basic Hebrew linguistics. In Shir ha-shirim asher li-Shlomo, the word asher אשר is just the ordinary plain relative conjunction, which occurs over three thousand times in the Hebrew Bible. An "Asher son of Solomon" is completely unknown anywhere else in the Bible, and this passage really wouldn't make too much grammatical sense if asher were attempted to be interpreted as a name. In any case, the name Asher and the relative conjunction had different vowel pronunciations, and in Song of Songs 1:1 the pronunciation appropriate to the conjunction is indicated by the niqqud.

Also, the Biblical Hebrew language has specifically-masculine and specifically-feminine forms of second person pronouns and verb forms, the word "beloved", etc., so that it's often very clear from basic grammar in many passages of the Song of Songs whether a male or female person is being addressed (in some cases also whether a male or female is speaking). This is less clear in many of the translations to other languages, but is strongly present in the original Hebrew. Any attempted homoerotic interpretation would have to deal with all this in great detail in order to have any credibility among Biblical scholars (instead of completely ignoring the whole subject).
