How does one translate a hand gesture into Morse Code? Some more detailed explanation would be good here.

3 dots and a dash. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 16:50, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
(e/c)From V sign#Victory sign "Ritchie suggested an audible V using its Morse code rhythm (three dots and a dash). As the rousing opening bars of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony had the same rhythm, the BBC used this as its call-sign in its foreign language programmes to occupied Europe for the rest of the war. The more musically educated also understood that it was the Fate motif "knocking on the door" of the German Third Reich" - so he flashed the Morse letter V.

Racial Reconciliation in Kenya?

[edit]

The Source cited does not appear to substantiate such claims about Tatham-Warter's beliefs on Kenyan independence and African agency. Indeed, it instead claims rather than being in opposition to the rest of the Kenyan expatriate community, that he became an important figure of that community and that Kenyan independence did little to change this fact. Should we not remove this sentence from the "Post-Second World War" section? Alex S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.76.8.93 (talk) 11:47, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
