@reneestephen Good, well-sourced, factual citation has to be on the nose.

@reneestephen 🤣🤣🤣

@reneestephen
As a child I spent years in the South Pacific, and on the island where I grew up that was an obscure gesture.
I also saw that same gesture used in a movie from Australia or New Zealand, I forget which now. Also in an obscure manner.

@reneestephen @billyjoebowers That is AWESOME!

@reneestephen We just have to ensure people that it's safe, but don't quote me on that.

@reneestephen the last sentence 😂😂😂

@reneestephen Gotta love Wikipedia Humor!

@reneestephen I once had a very serious debate with my PhD advisor about this. When should we stop citing? How common is common enough that we can assume that we can take the fact for granted? We settled that techniques and knowledge routinely taught at undergrad level were considered background knowledge for the interested reader.

@reneestephen Removed it cus it doesn't need a source

Also it's a stub, so I am going to add that in.

@reneestephen this gesture means to have sex in some culture.

@reneestephen sounds like something a robot would look up to understand how human culture works

@reneestephen Oh my, that's too funny 😂

@reneestephen It's incredibly well-written, too.

@reneestephen well heck, if I was the crying kid whose nose had just been gotten, I’d want more than just a placatory statement without citation, too!

@reneestephen @wikipedia

@reneestephen somebody already removed it. :<

@reneestephen i am going to run around a wiki editor and teasingly chant, "got your citation!" while pinching my thumb

@reneestephen Oh, the more u know... (puts away scissors)

@reneestephen I love this. Do people still do this?

@reneestephen We need verification!

@reneestephen It is a real citation needed but from an older page edit for anyone curious https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27ve_got_your_nose&oldid=1159129563

@reneestephen "At no point is the child's nose actually removed from the child's face." 😂

@reneestephen
Thanks for the utterly innocent laugh. Much appreciated.

@reneestephen It's GONE. :((( no fun allowed

@reneestephen: In some Eastern European cultures, this gesture can be a threat of violence, or just very rude.

@reneestephen the citation is removed 😢

@reneestephen I have six sons. Don't you dare tell my youngest that I don't have his nose in a box on my table.

@reneestephen what i love is that both the sentence and the citation needed tag were added by the same editor in the same edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1159129563&oldid=1145210850&title=I%27ve_got_your_nose

@reneestephen Even though that's removed now, I'm more surprised 'I've got your nose' is an encyclopedia entry!

@reneestephen
In large parts of the old world, this gesture, with the thumb pressing and passing through the two fingers in an abrupt upward motion, means "I f.ck you". It's aggressive and insulting. Not funny at all.

@reneestephen The first time I did that to my daughter, she just put her hand to her face to check her nose and then looked at me like I was a fucking dipshit.

@reneestephen Oh, I've done it wrong all the time!

BTW, does anyone need some spare child noses? 😁

@reneestephen @darac Obviously needs Mystery Biscuits!

@reneestephen ❤️🤣🤣🤣

@reneestephen

At no point is the child's nose actually removed from the child's face.[citation needed]

@reneestephen sadly now removed :(

@reneestephen one of my all time (similar) favourites is still evident in the 'list of Cetaceans' [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cetaceans] - scroll down the 'family lists' and (a few) missing images have a placeholder: "[cetacean needed]". I sincerely hope that the last remaining gap is never filled.

@reneestephen This can actually happen if you mix this game with stone, scissors, paper (the scissors part of it).

@reneestephen Dante's Inferno XXV 2, Vanni Fucci's gesture.

@reneestephen @carolen

"At no point is the child's nose actually removed from the child's face."

🤣

@reneestephen
I mean, there's probably at least two if not three or four citations needed there ;)

@reneestephen Of course the killjoy Wikipedian in me had to resolve that citation needed tag #Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I%27ve_got_your_nose&diff=prev&oldid=1160103269

@reneestephen

That it is described in Wikipedia is humorous enough for me.

Then I think to myself - is that automated - or did an actual human put that in.

---
Then I think... Well in today's world I guess we can't rule out that someone at some time "did actually..."

@reneestephen This is the internet content I signed up for! 😆

@reneestephen This is a taunt the Ukrainians gave the Russians just prior to the invasion. The Ukrainians still have Putin's nose...

@reneestephen 💕

@reneestephen I just checked 🤣🤣 a citation has been provided!

@reneestephen we sure have some weird interactions with babies

@reneestephen
Thanks for the laugh 🤣

@reneestephen That line was written by Voldemort

@reneestephen Where's the evidence?!

@reneestephen that's pretty funny ...

@reneestephen slightly worrying though... I mean... somebody tinks it might. And there are really weird people out there.

@reneestephen No children were harmed in the making of this game

@reneestephen

I feel like a child again...

@reneestephen A citation has since been added - but I've got a bone to pick with it since the cited material does not actually prove that the nose is not removed.

@reneestephen

*Always* to be accompanied by that fine old sing-song poem:

Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie…

The maid was in the garden, hanging out the clothes,
When along came a blackbird and nipped off her nose!

@reneestephen I’m dying...

@reneestephen poke @temptoetiam

@reneestephen Citation found? There is now a citation here...

@reneestephen "This game-related article is a stub." Which seems strangely relevant.

@reneestephen I'm quite charmed there's a wikipedia page on this.

@reneestephen Aw, somebody actually provided a citation, which isn't even valid. This post has been mentioned on the talk page as well:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:I%27ve_got_your_nose#Citation_needed_controversy

@reneestephen looks like it's gone by now, what a shame

@reneestephen Wait! It's all pretend?

@reneestephen "prove it mfer"

@reneestephen This gesture is an insult among the Turkish population lol

@reneestephen

that’s way too complicated!

@reneestephen the talk page is a must append, I'm afraid. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1160167772&title=Talk:I%27ve%20got%20your%20nose

@reneestephen my nose was taken from me as a child
