Sidetalk
Logo of Sidetalk
- ... that the phrase "bing bong" became a rallying cry for the New York Knicks because of its appearance on Sidetalk (logo pictured)? Source: You might've heard the term "Knickstape" as a slogan for the New York Knicks and their fan base. Well, that could be retiring. Replaced by two simple words: "Bing Bong." Knicks fan Jordie Bloom shouted the phrase on opening night of the Knicks' season in a video from Sidetalk... His two-word phrase has become the Knicks' new rallying cry this season.
- ALT1: ... that one of the creators of Sidetalk (logo pictured) previously interned for The Fat Jewish at age 14? Source: He began interning for Josh Ostrovsky, a.k.a. the wildly viral influencer the Fat Jewish, when he was 14.

- Comment: The image is my SVG conversion of a PNG of the logo. This was my first time converting a PNG to SVG so the PNG might be better quality (File:Sidetalk NYC logo.png).

Not long enough ... 1,300 characters and change of prose. Daniel Case (talk) 06:52, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- ...huh? I'm getting 1,600+... am I missing something? Pamzeis (talk) 10:43, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
Daniel Case, DYKcheck returns 1637 prose characters. Please revisit your review. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:14, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- It is over 1,500 characters if we count the spaces, yes. The rules aren't clear on whether we count spaces or not ... I don't think we should. But I think I've alienated the nominator, so someone else can do this. Sorry. Daniel Case (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, DYKSG A1 states:
"The 1500-character minimum includes letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces."

I'm leaving this for someone else to review since I alienated the nominator by making such a botch of it. Daniel Case (talk) 17:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
- Daniel Case, you didn't alienate me! But also, don't feel pressured to continue the review if you don't want to. I'm trying to practice being patient anyways. Bait30 Talk 2 me pls? 18:32, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

Restarting review: article is new and large enough. Copyvio check comes up clear. Every paragraph and section is referenced. Correct person credited. QPQ performed. For the hooks both are short enough, in article, referenced and confirmed. The image though I am unconvinced that it is too simple for copyright, and may be only suitable as fair use. Good to go with no image. But otherwise needs a check for PD-simple. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:06, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
- I'd be willing to wait for someone to chime in on if they consider the logo to be below the threshold of originality. How I understand it, the logo is a derivative work of a standard, public-domain "walk symbol" such as File:MUTCD Ped Signal - Walk.svg. And all they did was added a rectangle and a circle to mimic a microphone. There are logos here that in my opinion have an even better claim of originality that have been denied copyright.

Thanks for the pointer, the image is a very simple derivative of the public domain department of transport image. So also good to go with image. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:44, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
