Raising hands

 * ... that raising hands is a gesture common to slaves, statues and students? Source: "when slaves accompanied their masters to public events, they were required to hold their hand up if they needed to be excused"   Source: "The Solid Rock Church, a Christian megachurch, had a 19-metre tall statue named ‘King of Kings’, which depicted Jesus with his arms raised in the air."   Source: "One study on hand-raising illustrated that students almost always looked directly at the teacher when raising their hands, and only looked away just before lowering their hand."

 * NB: note to reviewer - it'd be nice if the seven-day rule could be relaxed as this was part of an educational program :) Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:11, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Detailed, well-sources article, no copyvio obvious. Hook: "common to slaves" - I first thought the hand was raised towards the slaves. s-s-s is nice, but how how about yoga and blessing? - Images in the article, I don't like beginning with Hitlergruß which comes late in history, and believe we would crucifixion images where we can see more raised hands. - A little overdue is no problem for me. Why no link to the nominator? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:52, 7 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Neither the article creator nor the nominator have edited over the past several weeks, and there are still outstanding issues. If it's okay with you, I'm afraid I'm marking this for closure. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:35, 22 December 2018 (UTC)
