Am I allowed to say dick van dyke on scratch, it's his 100th birthday today and I wanted to make a project wishing him happy birthday

Without the project getting deleted

you're able to comment “dick van dyke” so I assume sharing a project about him will be fine. if anything happens the ST will review it and probably understand the context

It should be okay, but perhaps “Richard Van Dyke” would work better if you're using it in a comment.

You should use Contact Us for questions about what's allowed and not allowed, it avoids inappropriate conversations in the forums.

Yeah, ST would understand the context so nothing bad would happen.
