Frown edit

A man is frowning in this painting by Albrecht Dürer.

  • ... that it actually takes more muscles to smile than it does to frown (pictured)?

  • Hook: Interesting, cited. Before we use this hook fact I think it should be cited to Song's original results; something this controversial should cite the actual research.
Article: Long enough, new enough. This -- "This universality suggests a shared adaptive quality to frowning allowing for social communication of negative emotional states." -- is uncited, and really should be referenced per WP:OR. This shows no paraphrasing issues, AGF for sources behind paywall. Images are PD.
Summary: Please improve the quality of the hook reference and add a reference for the uncited statement. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:06, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
  • I expanded coverage of the Hook statement with a few other sourced bits. Song was just interviewed I don't think (aside from his practice at facial reconstruction) he had published anything about number of muscles. But I think the expansion does a fair job of explaining what the number might mean and what it doesn't mean. I also cited that unsourced statement. --MTHarden (talk) 16:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
