Here's the place to inquire about pages whose images aren't potholed to anything.
Google Image Search and Tineye
are good resources.
Images Without a Source lists the pages that have been discussed in this thread but haven't been sourced yet. Once a source is found for an image, please add it to the appropriate Image Source pagenote and remove it from Images Without a Source.
About Images and Copyright covers our general policies about image use; see here for more details and Image Pickin' forum policies. It's always a good idea to link images to their original versions and (when available) providing a link to the artist's site when they are located, especially if we're given permission to use an image.note

Invaded States of America has Fox News label so its probably that. Britain Is Only London needs a TRS... No clue on the rest.
For Invaded States of America, it's more likely something from Cracked or the Onion, but I couldn't find which.

The image on Invaded States of America is by Groogie on Deviantart. I've credited the artist in the caption.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.I'm also providing the link to the one on Guns Akimbo. I'm wondering, would it be a better format to use the name of the artwork in the caption, rather than "Image", like:
by Gil-EDAlso, I removed the Useful Notes link. I don't think we need it.

I need help with the illustration on Kicking Ass in All Her Finery.
The artist is identified as Shiki Douji, whom also illustrated Full Metal Panic.
The origin of the picture itself is from an artbook called Colourful Wind.
The problem is, no way to identify if it's just a pin-up or coming from an actual series. I bet on the latter, but it seems too obscure to locate easily unless you speak Japanese.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about trying to source it further than what it is.
It just doesn't feel right whenever we use a Red Link Pot Hole. It's just making the reader click to something that doesn't exist on this wiki. Not like this artist is ever likely to get a trope page. How about just a caption saying the name of the artist and possibly a link, remove the Pot Hole, and done is done.

The point of the pothole is to give an indication of their existence. Whether it leads to an actual page is not very important.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanWell, my point was that I think crediting the source in the caption is preferable to a Pot Hole, just as if it were from Deviantart.

I really can't find from where the picture on The Storyteller is from. It's used on plenty Web pages to illustrate storytelling, but none are saying if it's a book cover, an artwork, etc.
Ok, I've cut Invaded States of America and added several others to the list I posted above. Does anyone else know where to source them, particularely the names of the works I couldn't find? Neologizer is from the Homestar Runner franchise, though I'm not sure which subwork.

Hi
...and is a terribly non-illustrative pic.
Do we link original art back to its source? E.g. the Mercy Kill image ias from here.
Hi
Yes we do; the sourcing was already on the page, just commented out, so I've taken care of that.

Dainty Combat has no source for its image. I'll try messaging the troper who put it (on October of last year), but it may take some time for him to respond (if at all), so if any of you recognize the source, please edit the article accordingly or at least post a note about it in the discussion page.

Oh. So we have an article for this game. Alright, time to get working.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.
Appeal to Force looks like a though one.
Yeaah, that's just a shoop of a stock image. Pretty much unsourceable.
No, the other one.
Couldn't find an origin for it. The oldest images I could find anywhere weren't even available. I also think it was a V sign before that, and most likely a plain explosion before that.

Check out my fanfiction!
Yeah, GIS picks up a regular explosion that seems like the source in the top results. None of a V sign though.
Well, it's obviously not from a movie or anything like that. That's one of those images that are just generic internet images.

We can either add the links to the work and the artist's page, or try to find something different.
