Gesture of speech?
[edit]You left an edit summary on shrug of "The use of the word "emblem" as it refers to a gesture of speech was a novel usage to me (and I wanted to find out more about it). Also, given how this article defines a "shrug" as an emblem I feel like its nice to link this article into that larger context (of emblems in speech).."
First, you don't need to go into so much detail for wikilinking a word; it is confusing to try to read those details for a small matter like that. Further, what is a "gesture of speech" - that is not an expression in English, but your summary reads like it is used as one, which is further confusing, adding to time spent reviewing this edit - it raises a flag about a reversion possibly being necessary. It would be adequate to say only "Wikilinking use of 'emblem'". Thanks. —DIYeditor (talk) 21:45, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
