No pictures

Pretty funny that a bar that doesn't allow pictures inside has a picture on Wikipedia. Yoninah (talk) 20:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: Yeah, that is pretty funny! According to the file page at the Commons, the photographer is David Shankbone, so maybe he got special permission. Armadillopteryx^talk 20:50, 20 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Entrance to The Cock

... that you can't take pictures of The Cock? Source: "Pictures are not permitted inside the bar." ([1])
- ALT1:... that The Cock got in trouble for smoking? Source: "The backroom got tamed a bit, though smoking did not (still, its only summons was dismissed)." ([2])
- ALT2:... that The Cock has had three homes? Source: "The Cock has been open for twenty years and has had three locations. The first was on Avenue A in Alphabet City, the second was on First Avenue, and its third and current location is on Second Avenue." ([3])

Reviewed: Newforge
Comment 1: I'm pretty indifferent as to whether the image is used—just providing one in case it would be helpful to have for a batch.
Comment 2: This would be especially suitable to appear on the main page during June (Pride Month).

This article length and age are all good, can't see any plagiarism concerns, uses good reliable sources, think the first hook is very funny and short and snappy

Thanks! Armadillopteryx^talk 03:42, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
