Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Low Tech Spears

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.

I'll keep that in mind in the future. I've made the change.

Would anyone mind if I changed the captions on Characters.Spirited Away to match the subtitled version of the movie?

NGL, I don't particularly care for either of the Animated Armor options.

Do like the Bears Are Bad News suggestion, though.

The margin for the leader for Animated Armor is wide enough that it's safe to call. It's up and tagged for this thread.

@Spirited Away

I mind. We prioritize the official dubs.

[up]I used the official subtitles, because I thought using the original dialogue seemed more logical than using quotes from a version foreign to Studio Ghibli.

The original dialogue is the Japanese one, not anything else. Both subs and dubs are translations.

By Wall That Is Holey has a very lame caption.

Dying Moment of Awesome has a chained sinkhole in the caption, under the note, explaining what's in the pic. Suggestions for how to fix that?

No ideas at the moment, but that's definitely not a good caption as is. The pic should probably be moved to the Comic Book subpage as well.

Recently, I had to change the page quote for I Got a Rock, as the old quote and the image were from the same work. The person who agreed to the change feels that the old quote (posted here) can replace the current caption. Should it?

"I don't understand it. I went trick-or-treating and all I got was a bag full of rocks."

It's been 5 days and I don't think the votes have moved much on the Your Head A-Splode crowner, so I've added and tagged the winner on that page.

A new crowner is hooked for Going Down with the Ship.
