Here is the image. I agree, doesn't add anything. Also, the two-paragraph caption is kind of unrelated. Vote to nuke both image and caption, or failing that, nuke caption.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
I think we've had this discussion, and last time, we all seemed to enjoy the little heart it added. I would only take the image down if it took away from the understanding of the trope. I don't think it does.
In any case, I would go to the FAQ under Edit Request for a Locked Page.
Its caption is:
"Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, Dr. McCoy and Mr. Scott beamed down with Lt. Mary Sue to Rigel XXXVII. They were attacked by green androids and thrown into prison. In a moment of weakness Lt. Mary Sue revealed to Mr. Spock that she too was half Vulcan. Recovering quickly, she sprung the lock with her hairpin and they all got away back to the ship.
But back on board, Dr. Mc Coy and Lt. Mary Sue found out that the men who had beamed down were seriously stricken by the jumping cold robbies , Mary Sue less so. While the four officers languished in Sick Bay, Lt. Mary Sue ran the ship, and ran it so well she received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Vulcan Order of Gallantry and the Tralfamadorian Order of Good Guyhood." — Excerpt from FanFic.A Trekkies Tale by Paula Smith

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I like the pic, actually. I more thought the caption should be moved to the quotes page as it is way too long to be a caption and also doesn't actually have anything to do with the pic (another reason not to be a caption). It would make a nice page quote.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Seems like the caption is just being used an excuse to have a second page quote. Shameful.
The caption should either be made the main page quote (since it's the Trope Namer) or moved to the Quotes tab...either's good with me. I don't mind the pic but wouldn't be hurt if it vanished.
The caption quote could be cut down to just
"Lt. Mary Sue ran the ship, and ran it so well she received the Nobel Peace Prize, the Vulcan Order of Gallantry and the Tralfamadorian Order of Good Guyhood."
and work much better as a caption.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Yeah, I thought make it the page quote.
The caption's been chopped down; anything else?
Hearing nothing else, let's lock up and move on.
Simple enough, it's locked so a moderator would have to change it (or whoever it is that has that power), but I can see no compelling reason for a two paragraph caption to a completely unrelated picture.
