Androgeos changed the image back in July with the reason "Trope image is now from an actual video game!". Honestly, I'm not too crazy with either picture, but the replacement seems to be insta-pullable on the grounds of being a meme (and ugly).

Ugly, and that page doesn't need to get more video game centric.

Yeah, that's a meme. Also, tell the editor who changed it that if a page is video game centric, adding more of that is not what we are after.

I don't really like the previous image either; shall we brainstorm on a replacement?

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up]Sounds good.

This Rocky statue was in the example section.

Some dilbert strips:
Asok winning the meeting
Dilbert doing the engineer's victory dance
victory jig
Dilbert celebrates his victory in court.

If you want something completely text-free, I think this pic from Rocky (II?) would fit the bill quite nicely: [1]

Can't get any clearer than a boxer holding a title belt.

My browser ate my last edit. Was going to suggest this one with Rocky holding the flag.

I strongly prefer the one for Rocky II — the one with the belt (in #6).

Incidentally, can we cut that page quote? It doesn't add anything to the page.

As far as I'm concerned, sure. I've also rewritten it to make it non-video-game specific. That was Fan Myopia of the worst kind.

And this page should definitely have an Image Links subpage.

I think 6 is the best so far. It's a real winner.

I don't see how 6 could be anything other than victory.

Bump for votes...it's looking pretty decisive but some more votes can't hurt.

Considering it's 13:1 and the only one in the green, I think we can call it a wrap.

Yeah, this is looking pretty decisive. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no? I'm leaning toward no.
