In times past, an Image Pickin' thread decided to put the following image on Full Set Bonus. Now the latter page was merged into the imageless Set Bonus page. Can we move the image over to the other page?

The full set of Lantern Rings: greater than the sum of its parts.

Done. Good enough?

Also, I really hate that caption...is there anything more creative we can do with it?

[up]Why not?

I don't mind the caption. It's not all too creative, but it's illustrative.

[up][up] Subbed that version in. Also, can someone that's familiar with the scenario write that up as an example and add it to the page?

Wait, so they were merged but none of the examples of Full Set Bonus were moved?

Yes. I'll fix that, though.

Well, that's where the Green Lantern example is, so no need to rewrite it.

The page looks good. Go ahead and lock? "Now he's a real lord of the rings." came to mind, but that may not be any better than the current caption.

I'm surely going to punsters hell for this: "He's the ringmaster of this here color circus."

The "greater than the sum of its parts" caption may be kind of boring, but it communicates an important piece of information that the image itself doesn't: that having all the rings gives an extra bonus.

[up] But it doesn't say what that bonus is; in essence, it's a Zero Context Example.

We are talking about the caption, not the example.

I don't think that analogy makes sense. Way different criteria for examples and for captions. And anyway, the important piece is the rings have a Set Bonus; the specific nature of the bonus is irrelevant (unless there is a good caption with that info). The other suggestions don't have either of those.
