Text and/or other creative content from Types of gestures was copied or moved into List of gestures with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

This page was proposed for deletion by JBrown23 (talk · contribs) on 7 June 2012 with the comment:
A repository for additions that are unverifiable and vaguely worded and incomplete. No criteria for addition is provided, guaranteeing no end to the size of this article.
It was contested by Cnilep (talk · contribs) on 7 June 2012 with the comment:
This article is similar to Types of gestures, which was previously discussed at AfD and kept.

"yes" or "I win"

Having the fist at eye level and bringing the whole arm down so the elbow is at waist level, keeping the forearm upright, sometimes while dipping a knee. Often seen in sports but also in adverts, as if it is assumed viewers will recognise the meaning. Anyone know more about it? 87.115.80.212 (talk) 22:05, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Facepalm

Should not "facepalm," which has its own article on wiki, be included in the list of gestures? 2600:8804:6500:6A5:6921:65DB:E823:EA9B (talk) 05:18, 13 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Raised Hand

Surprised by the omission of the near universal "raising a hand vertically" indicating presence or indicating oneself (and in classroom settings, requesting permission to speak). Or did I miss it? passcod (talk) 09:31, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Watch / tapping wrist

Could I suggest an entry on the gesture where one taps the top of their wrist (imitating tapping a watch) to indicate a meaning relating to time (ie "hurry up" or "check the time, this event is going late") 2600:1014:B017:E1A3:E9C1:268A:7327:731 (talk) 17:14, 15 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Italian gestures

There seem to be a lot of gestures missing. Example: the 'chin flick' (chissenefrega). See e.g. https://www.theintrepidguide.com/italian-hand-gestures/ —DIV (1.145.38.137 (talk) 12:38, 6 November 2022 (UTC))[reply]
Support good-faith IP editors: insist that Wikipedia's administrators adhere to Wikipedia's own policies on keeping range-blocks as a last resort, with minimal breadth and duration, in order to reduce adverse collateral effects; support more precisely targeted restrictions such as protecting only articles themselves, not associated Talk pages, or presenting pages as semi-protected, or blocking only mobile edits when accessed from designated IP ranges.

Sports and other specialised activities

Sports umpire/referees

You're also missing sporting gestures, such as the umpire/referees gestures in

baseball (safe),
boxing (you're out),
tennis (in/out/unsighted), and
Australian rules football (goal/behind).

I see that the introduction has "Not included are the specialized gestures, calls, and signals used by referees and umpires in various organized sports."

So maybe this article should be renamed "List of general gestures". 1.145.36.244 (talk) 14:50, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sports players

Signals used by players to communicate (perhaps secretly) to teammates, such as in doubles tennis or American football. —DIV (1.145.36.244 (talk) 14:53, 7 November 2022 (UTC))[reply]
