Editing Lwilmes revison to Article

Lwilmes added reference number four to the article on Fidgeting.
Lwilmes original revision is: "Fidgeting is moving away from its old stigma and is now considered among the most beneficial of the minor hand activities. People who tend to fidgeting daily tend to weigh less than people who remain still and fidget less frequently. Fidgeting can help burn around an extra 350 calories a day."
In the introduction of the article, Fidgeting usually represents anxious emotions and nervousness. When Lwilmes wrote, "Fidgeting... is not considered among the most beneficial of the minor hand activities" it seemed a little out of context. Though research has proven that people who fidget burn more calories that people who do not, it is not necessarily beneficial because it can be a nervous habit that can be underlying an anxiety disorder.
In my revision to her sentence is: "Fidgeting is considered a nervous habit, though it does have some underlying benefits. People who fidget regularly tend to weigh less than people who do not fidget because they are burn more calories those who remain still. It has been reported that fidgeting burns around an extra 350 calories a day."

This was a great sentence to add. I did not have to make any corrections. Great Job!! --Mweissenborn (talk) 03:17, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article shows that fidgeting can be a sign of anxiety or many other problems one may face each day. --Janethomas13 (talk) 05:38, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
