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.

Can we do better for Doomed Hometown than the sinkholed Memetic Mutation caption it has had since January 2014 or the dull and wordy one it had before that?

While the IP thread is still going for Doomed Hometown, [up] can be considered as a contender.

[up] I agree, that works better than the current.

Thoughts on these? They seem better to me than just having the character's name.

^ Definitely much better. I have no idea why the current ones are even there.

The caption for The Necrocracy was changed a while back. Previous one was decided by IP, and noted in the source with standard message.

New: Well, why not? They're still more likeable and approachable than the average politician.

Old: Skeletons in the cabinet.

For Enemy Scan how about:

What does the scanner say about its power level, Samus?

[up][up] That can work for Enemy Scan.

Also, crowner for Breast Expansion didn't budge for a while, and we have a winner, so calling.

Just a quick question, but in The Roaring '20s page, the image caption has Reality Ensues potholed into the caption. Should the pothole rather be Truth in Television instead?

Continue the bloodline, Fujimaru!
