[edit] Hasty Conclusion
To start off, I am new here, and I apologize if I am not formatting this correctly. In the negative association of language section, there is an example of two Korean words sounding similar. The fact that they sound the simlar should not be an evidence given to support the idea of negative association. It'd be appropriate to point out that the root of the word, "right had" actually came from "correct hand" Thank you! (Please disregard my last post-brain cramp!)
[edit] Glenn Beck
The Politics section discusses US Presidents and presidential candidates who were left-handed, which is trivia (interesting, but trivia) rather than any political doctrine/camps... That seems odd to me.
Even odder is the inclusion of Glenn Beck with a discussion of US Presidential candidates. Surely there are plenty more note-worthy left-handed people than Mr. Beck... Or was he actually a presidential candidate at some point? If I knew for sure he wasn't a presidential candidate, I'd just delete that last sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.162.103.133 (talk) 03:56, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Preference?
Left-handedness is not a preference, as falsely claimed in the lead. It is something born with, and cannot be chosen. AD 19:07, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Lloque Yupanki
Early chronicles depict him in positive colors, as a skillful diplomat (see es:Lloque Yupanqui). The epithet "Yupanqui" also had only favorable connotations in the Inca era, it was a part of many Inca names such as Capac Yupanqui and Tupac Yupanqui. Raoul NK (talk) 10:49, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
[edit] Accident rate
This article discusses the problems caused by tools and machinery often being designed for right-handed operation but it does not go on to discuss the consequently increased accident rate for left-handed people.

[edit] Alternative Sexuality
Restored the alternative sexuality section. The Rahman & Symeonides abstract clearly states, "elevated paraphilic interests were correlated with elevated non-right handedness" . In the introduction section of article (pg 166 Archive of Sexual behavior) the researchers reference pedophilia.
I got the homosexual reference from the wiki page /Handedness and sexual orientation, but that page had the % wrong, I corrected the % to align with the research. That is homosexual men have 82% greater odds of being non-right-handed than heterosexual men
Will expand negative correlations with left handedness to include stuttering, dyslexia, autism, when time permits. Witch Hazell (talk) 17:46, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
- That article is probably where any mention belongs, not here. Since the small amount of 'research' being cited has 'suggested' but not verified any relationship, it definitively does not belong here, or any other article not associated with the claim.

[edit] Redirect
Should we redirect this to Handedness like we did to Right-handed? Just a thought. Levonscott User talk:Levonscott User:Levonscott 06:08, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
- I think it should be kept separate and not a redirect. Somedifferentstuff (talk) 14:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
- I oppose a redirect - there's simply too much in this article to easily incorporate into the 'Handedness' article. In fact, if all of this information was on that article I'd 100% support that it be moved to a new article. --Peter (Talk page) 23:12, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
