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.

Hi
There's already a quote repair thread in, I believe, the Long-Term Projects forum.
Hi
The caption on Fountain of Youth was added a coupla years ago (I assume outside this thread) and doesn't add a thing to the pic or the page. I'm good to kill it pending another idea.

Zzzzzzzzzz
Kill it.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Agreed, zap it.

Hi
Done and tagged.
Hi
Hooked a crowner for the new pic on Monster.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure.
Hi
Alright, it's been 5 days and we've only got one option in the green, so no caption it is.
Hi
Hooked a crowner for Reincarnation.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?
Hi
Calling the crowner and adding the winner to Reincarnation.
Some new caption suggestions:
- Fire Keeps It Dead: Salt and burn. It's the only way to be sure.
- Salt Solution: A ghost hunter's worst nightmare.
- Directed by Cast Member: They called him "Two-Takes Frakes" because of his efficiency.
- Reveille: "Honey, maybe sending him to military school last summer wasn't the best idea we've had so far."
- Space Episode: A decade before the acual moon landings, no less.
- Hijacking Cthulhu: Doesn't necessarily require a Great Old One.
- Mask of Sanity: "I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I feel my mask is about to slip."
Going back a bit, I like the suggestion for Bandit Clan (page 28) and Bears Are Bad News (page 26). Any other thoughts on these
?

The one for Directed by Cast Member doesn't make sense to me. Probably because I've never watched Star Trek.
His name is Jonathan Frakes. Added a pothole to clarify that.

Hi
I'm good with all those except the Hijacking Cthulhu one...seems a little too much like it was just lifted from the description.
Hi
Crowner's hooked for The Team Normal.
Hi
Well, that one's looking clear. The caption's added and tagged on The Team Normal.
The caption on Creator Recovery would benefit from some more detail on when exactly each picture was taken.
Officially intimidated
I perceived some Edit War on part of Tropers/bowserbros regarding the image's caption in UsefulNotes.Wii U:
- First, they changed the caption (the system's Tagline) into a deliberately incendiary one that referred to the system's commercial failure.
- Second, I revert the edit (I had to edit twice because of a derpy mistake I made on my own).
- Third, they remove the original caption once again. Though the incendiary caption wasn't added, the current one still focuses on the system's failure.
Also, during events 1 and 3, they repurposed the tagline into a quote, which wouldn't be an issue if there wasn't already another quote, and having two on a main page is not kosher.
Can we discuss an appropiate caption (preferably the tagline once again, or at least anything that doesn't poke fun at the console) so we can implement there a commented-out backup from this thread so no one feels tempted at changing it without discussion?
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
How sweet it is
Standard tagline is fine.

Hi
Hooked a crowner for Sadly Mythcharacterized.
I think hiding important information behind potholes shouldn't even be an option. That caption doesn't make sense unless you mouseover the links (if using a PC) or click on them (if using a mobile device).
v It used to be :)

It isn't in the lead, so I don't think it's an issue. The one that is in the lead is not particularly interesting (and neither, for that matter, is the overly potholed one), though it is informative. Kind of prefer the third option on account of that.
edit: lol I should have figured that it was at the time my bad

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Regarding page quotes, we have General Page Quote DIscussion.
[edited; reread the entry for Fountain of Youth and realised it was referring to a now-deleted caption, not the quote currently on the page]

Hi
Added the new caption for Sadly Mythcharacterized.
Wouldn't it be better to have a Quote Pickin' section like we have an Image Pickin' section, rather than cramming every "what quote should we use" question into one long thread?
