The wolf gesture is not a political gesture[edit]

The wolf salute is a part of the Turkic culture and mythology. Only because a far-right fascist group uses this symbol in Turkey doesn't means that it is political. It would be better if you truly did some research about this gesture before writing about, this way you're making people think that this is a political symbol, including yourself Berrenniz (talk) 06:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First Citation[edit]

"The referenced source does not label the symbol itself as fascist; but refers to the organization Grey Wolves who uses it as fascists. Kekolataaa (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Descriptors of the group Grey Wolves being falsely cited to define the Wolf Gesture.[edit]

The citation (p12) describes Grey Wolves as ultranationalist and neo-fascist, not the sign itself. Author uses said labels to describe Ultranationalist Groups who adopted the sign. Kekolataaa (talk) 16:10, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This page is under barrage from Turkish ultranationalists. We must restrict it.[edit]

This page is under barrage from Turkish ultranationalists. We must restrict it. Immediately. Or, at least, as soon as possible. Gypsybores (talk) 17:38, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it will be worse as Turkish fans vowed to all use the sign at the match tomorrow. Lets hope the admins do something Ilamxan (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed.

Somoene must also stop the Turkish ultranationalist user Beshogur from editing further. He gives no reason and cites "personal attacks" Gypsybores (talk) 19:43, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paragraph removed without reason stated[edit]

The following paragraph was removed in rev1232778230, apparently arbitrarily, and hasn't been restored yet. Waiting on things to settle down before trying to get it on the page again. 2A01:CB08:8B3E:6B00:38F8:2E42:2134:C1E0 (talk) 23:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In Japanese culture, this gesture is one form of the "Kitsune's window" (狐の窓), also called "Kitsune sign" (キツネサイン) or "Kitsune handsign" (キツネハンドサイン). The most widespread superstition associated with this gesture is that looking through the hole of the gesture would reveal the true form of spirits disguised as humans. These gestures are featured in Utagawa Kunimasu's Shimpan Bakemono Nendaiki (新板化物念代気) in 1829, and Nobuyo Kitamura's Kiyū Shōran (嬉遊笑覧), published in 1830, records their recreational use by children during the Edo period.^[1]^[2] Kitsune's windows appear in modern Japanese media, such as in concerts by Japanese metal idol band Babymetal^[3] and manga and anime featuring occultism or kitsune as characters. 2A01:CB08:8B3E:6B00:38F8:2E42:2134:C1E0 (talk) 23:18, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about "a Turkish nationalist and Pan-Turkic hand symbol", so that's not going to happen. Drmies (talk) 01:25, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Providing basic information about signs that people may confuse for the Wolf salute looks useful to me. Also if we're following your opinion, mentions of the meanings in satanism and "silent fox" must also be deleted. 2A01:CB08:8B3E:6B00:8104:A5B0:2E5D:F42E (talk) 06:30, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content is irrelevant[edit]

The content of this article does not define the hand gesture itself and it solely focuses on a political aspect of it. Take a look at this from a wider perspective please, gray wolf is Turkeys national animal and everything symbolizes it cannot be just a gesture for political party. I do not accept and condemn the how this page is managed. This article is not informative at all this article is sided and biased. Ucanelma (talk) 01:23, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Content is irrelevant[edit]

If this article is about pan Turkic symbol. Than its title shall be under pan Turkic gestures. Or it should be pan Turkic salute. However, the wolf salute is not something only small group of pan Turkic people use it is not their property. This article is an a shame for wikipedia community this is highly biased and sided. I cant understand why 2 obviously closed minded people are directing this article?? Ucanelma (talk) 13:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect and unsourced information[edit]

The article seems higly suspicious. After current contoversial events about grey wolf sign in European Cup, this article is edited for political purposes and it is full of distorted and unsourced information. 24.133.174.112 (talk) 22:31, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
