Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

^^ As pointed out, the second sounds more natural, so I'll support that one.

Okay, so the opinions on Dragons Lair 's caption seem unanimous in support of "Saving princesses two years before Mario made it cool."

So, should I go ahead and replace the current caption?

[up] Go for it.

I'm going to call the caption for Help, I'm Stuck!, the leader's been there pretty much the entire time.

I've hooked a crowner for Gate Guardian since it's got a new pic.

EDIT: Also, it needs to be added to the page as an example.

Thread title needs to be updated, please. Also my suggestions suck take them out.

If it wins, the Beast's Castle one needs a pothole to Disney.Beauty And The Beast and the c in castle needs to be capitalized. While the image source is Kingdom Hearts II, the location that the picture takes place in is based off of the movie.

Can I add another option, then? Something on the lines of "A gate that's also a guardian: For the villain on a tight budget." Or something similar?

On second thoughts, perhaps that's not a good idea.

So thanks to my vote-rocking, Willbyr's suggestion that I basically mocked him for is winning.

Karma's a bitch.

Heroic Albino has a caption even though we decided it worked without one.

It could be better. Something like 'Red Eyes, Take Warning if you harm a child' or something, someone who knows the character better could do a better one.

Red Eyes is a staple of albinos in media especially Japanese, that's part of the reason they are typically evil.

No caption is fine.

Also, please change the thread title. X_X

"Red eyes, white heart"? or maybe just no caption.

The caption of the image in Parental Favoritism is just an uncropped version of the same image. Should we put the uncropped version or just change the caption?

I don't entirely see why we need the cropped version, myself.
