Watch / tapping wrist edit
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)
Italian gestures edit
There seem to be a lot of gestures missing.
Example: the 'chin flick' (chissenefrega). See e.g. https://www.theintrepidguide.com/italian-hand-gestures/

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 edit
If the gestures arising in the following situations are not all going to be listed out, perhaps instead the situations can be more comprehensively referred to in the introduction. —DIV (1.145.36.244 (talk) 14:59, 7 November 2022 (UTC))
Sports umpire/referees edit
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).
—DIV (49.195.30.200 (talk) 14:44, 7 November 2022 (UTC))
- 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)
Sports players edit
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))
Dancing edit
Hand signals used by the caller in rueda de casino. —DIV (1.145.36.244 (talk) 14:54, 7 November 2022 (UTC))
Work edit
- Signals used by the dogman directing a crane operator.
- Signals used by runway personnel to direct aircraft.

A question about a two handed gesture edit
How is that gesture where you lift your hands up and start moving them from left to right (or in reverse) called? 213.147.131.201 (talk) 13:19, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
Sign Language Reference Edit edit
I made the recent edit where I removed a reference to sign languages. I hadn't signed in on my account, but can be contacted here if need be. 0x3444ac53 (talk) 22:01, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
