Being bold is important on Wikipedia. Doing so is the only way in which to make corrections to articles, or even beginning a new article.

In Politics
Well-recognized politicians, actors, and musicians often receive applause as soon as they first appear on stage, even before any performance activity has transpired. This accolade is given to indicate admiration for their past achievements, and is not a response to the performance the audience is attending.

In the Parliament of the United Kingdom, clapping is generally prohibited. Instead, members of parliament and lords generally will shout "hear, hear!". In the House of Commons of Canada, by contrast, clapping is customary and frequent.
