Notes

•  Done OK (gesture)#As white power symbol has a CN tag
•  Done refs 6, 51, and 55 have errors
•  Done Layout: Why are "Fingerspelling", "Sign languages", and "Counting" different sections. The seem to cover different angles of the same topic - sign languages
•  Done Please add a reference to the specific claim at the end of the first paragraph in the "underwater diving" section
•  Done ...where the single-handed gesture takes on a different meaning. - what is the other meaning?

Its explained in the paragraph below, but its confusing until you finish reading that. Can this be rephrased?

•  Done It was added to Unicode in 2010 under the name “Face With OK Gesture” (U+1F646 "🙆") and became part of Emoji 1.0 in 2015. it meaning the single-handed or the full-body gesture?
•  Done The first sentence of OK (gesture)#As white power symbol has 2 WP:SOB issues - white supremacist meme culture & message board 4chan
•  Done can we have more than just the one reference for the "Political affiliations" paragraph - its pretty long, and pretty specific
•  Done Now ref 58 has an error
•  Done errors in refs 66 - 69
•  Done can I suggest combining the "'Circle Game' prank" section into the popular culture section, given how short it is on its own?
•  Done Hopefully 1 last thing: what is the source for this edit?
•  Done see also section

Discussion

• Please note here when you have fixed the issues noted above, and once I confirm that I will strike them. Please do not just remove them yourself. --DannyS712 (talk) 02:07, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi DannyS712. I have done the following:

• • Fixed three refs that had errors
  • Rearranged "Sign languages" to be a separate section under which "Fingerspelling" and "Counting"are now subsections
  • Added a ref to the specific claim at the end of the first paragraph in the "underwater diving" section
  • Rephrased wording regarding various gestures in Japan
  • Specified which Unicode symbol was added in 2010
  • Remedied WP:SOB issues in the white supremacy section
  • Found and added more refs for the "Political affiliations" paragraph

I did not remedy the CN tag in the white power section. Another editor did this. Morganfitzp (talk) 00:48, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Fixed ref 58. Also added in a popular culture appearance of note for your review. Morganfitzp (talk) 13:37, 4 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: Please see updated notes above --DannyS712 (talk) 19:31, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Fixed ref formatting errors for The Prisoner. Moved th circle game into the pop culture section, as suggested. Morganfitzp (talk) 01:09, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: 1 last thing. See above --DannyS712 (talk) 01:14, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: I pulled more info from Ref #40 for the section about ecclesiastical uses to make that paragraph as substantial as the two following it. Morganfitzp (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: Okay then. 1 last tiny thing - can the "see also" section have more than 1 link? --DannyS712 (talk) 03:36, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: I've thought on this a bit. Most everything that could be added to "see also" is listed on the Gestures template at the bottom of the page, and re-listing too many here would be excessive. The exception was Thumb signal as the most obvious corollary to the OK gesture because it has synonymous positive and negative meanings, as well as being a mudra. The only other page I think appropriate for inclusion is the disambiguation page at Three-finger salute, which lists OK and its manual relations that bear nationalist, vulgar, and/or pop culture applications similar to the OK. Adding now. Morganfitzp (talk) 02:35, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: Maybe OK? --DannyS712 (talk) 02:44, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Seemed redundant because OK/okay is Wikilinked in the articles lede. But I'm happy to oblige. Morganfitzp (talk) 02:47, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: Thanks. And with that, I am happy to announce that this nomination has passed, and that OK (gesture) has become a good article. --DannyS712 (talk) 03:00, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@DannyS712: Were this any other article, I'd exclaim, "Woohoo! Yes!" here, but given its subject, I must simply say, "OK" and thank you for your collaboration by joining the tips of my thumb and forefinger and extending the remaining three fingers away from my palm: 👌 Morganfitzp (talk) 03:11, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

@Morganfitzp: To you too --DannyS712 (talk) 03:13, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
