Body Position

The body position section is cited but has no contents, you may want to write summary of the cited source and add it to the body position section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cailang753 (talk • contribs) 18:16, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Review

I like how the page is organized into different body parts to make it easier to understand. There isn't enough data however, so more information would contribute to the development of this page. All in all everything looks good. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesw57 (talk • contribs) 01:08, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It may be beneficial to add different types of cues, i.e., behavioural, holistic, etc. This may further clarify what types of events can be predicted by specific body language. In general, much more information must be added to each sub-heading, and pictures could be helpful. Sydneymanuel (talk) 00:20, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
