The picture is just a poster for a Moby Dick movie, with the disclaimer the trope is supposed to be about nowhere to be seen.

I agree that the picture isn't helping. We can cut it.

Doesn't demonstrate at all. Sink it.

I'm hesitant to agree; it's literally all text.

It's a text-based trope, so... that will happen.

That said, I think a joke-y version from a film's credits makes the most sense.

Like so.

I like the credits, but not the red. Highlight it some other way, a vignette maybe?

Consensus is to pull old image, now removed.

As to the replacement, Hangaroo seems more appropriate than "No turtles were harmed..." as it's just text. That said, does this page really need an image?

No page needs an image.

Each image can enrich or degrade a page. It's not really a matter of "need" or "don't need".

Hmmm..... Damn. Doesn't look at good as I had hoped. The white text is kinda drowned out by the background.

Yeah I know. I figured it was worth a shot.

The Hangaroo one is best of all suggestions because it both has the disclaimer and shows the animal in a dangerous situation.

Yeah I'm good with that one.

Yeah, 8 does the job well.

Good enough; it's up and the tag's adjusted. Caption or no?
