Talk:Applause

message: Slow clap as a (sarcastic) sign of disapproval - for example, Tony Blair giving a speech to the Women's Institute during the UK debate preceding the current War on Iraq resulted in a "Slow Clap"
:I believe the correct term is "unison clapping". --69.161.146.61 03:43, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Slow Clap

message: In which countries/cultures do audiences clap in unison to show approval as opposed to a random shower of claps?  Which countries/cultures do it show disapproval or to make the performer nervous?  I just remember seeing it done on television, but not where it took place or the situations.

thread_title: Clapping in unison

message: Does anyone have any information on the origin of applause as a sign to express appreciation or approval?  When did the linke between applause and expression of approval originate?  Why are audiences expected to applaud after a performance? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.137.155.162 (talk) 18:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  When did applause become linked to expressing approval? 

message: Germans do tend to knock their fist on a table, knuckles down, instead of applauding. This is more common in formal situations such as in the classroom, especially amongst university students. At the end of a lecture or class of any type, students will knock before exiting the classroom. Naufana : talk 14:19, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In the History section we have "...for which last the emperor Aurelian substituted handkerchiefs". Aurelian wasn't the last emperor so I have removed the word "last". -- RND  T  C  02:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Erroneous text 

message: The text indicates that standing ovations are "usual" whereas the article on standing ovations indicates they are reserved for special occasions and extraordinary performances (as was my understanding). Perhaps the text here should be changed to reflect that reservation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.15.19.58 (talk) 02:13, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The SNL link to "The Sarcastic Clapping Family" has been removed from Youtube. Since the link no longer serves a purpose, should it be removed or renamed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by I donotwork (talk • contribs) 01:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Can more information be added in the types of churches that prohibit clapping? Because customs between denominations are outrageously varied. And as far as applause goes, I've been to 20-30 churches in my lifetime and all of them have welcomed applause. Many of them use it even as a way to show worship.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cappuccino Joe (talk • contribs) 05:52, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Missing: Often the crowd applauses in unison when a pole vaulter prepares, runs and jump. Pace of applauses increases and reach its maximum at the jump. Nicolas1981 (talk) 09:49, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

message: What is tack?  It is a word in the graphic, but I don't see an explanation; nor is there a Wikipedia entry for it. Kdammers (talk) 06:50, 10 February 2018 (UTC)

message: I don't think that the 'Slow handclaps in film' section properly explains the sarcastic meaning of slow handclapping, as used at least in the 21stC and at least in the UK. (I also don't see why it specifically refers to 'in film'.) To me, slow handclapping means the audience/-member is really unimpressed by what's been said or done, and is effectively doing the opposite of applauding. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 17:19, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The third footnote is supposedly some text written by Böttiger (Presumably Karl Böttiger) on applausing in ancient cultures (if my german serves me right). Does anyone know where to find this text and verify it? I can't find it anywhere on the internet. Should the source be removed if it turns out it's nonexistant?
