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.

While wick cleaning for a TRS project, I came across Cannon, which has a caption that is just parroting the text in the image—and there's a lot of text. Pull the caption, since it serves no practical purpose and is definitely not concise?

^ The text on the poster is kind of hard too read / small though. Can't find a better-quality copy.

This is an alternative that could work.

Should I start an IP thread about this one?

This crowner for Loads and Loads of Rules needs to be swapped in.

The new caption's up on Loads and Loads of Rules, and I've hooked a crowner for Narrow Parody.

Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You: "Milla Jovovich is about to Gut You Like a Fish." ?

[up] I'd just prefer "Milla Jovovich is about to stab you."

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

Agreed. It's a cut above the other suggestion.

For The Strategist, perhaps a quote from Tywin himself? "Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens."

Calling the crowner for the caption for Narrow Parody; it's up and tagged. The suggested caption is up and tagged on The Strategist.

Would anybody mind if I altered the caption for Tom the Dark Lord and change out the name George for something else? I recently realized that it's kind of a common name for kings and thus has a bit of a regal connotation when beside a title.

[up][up] Changing it sounds good to me, then.

I think there may be an overabundance of potholes in the caption note on Avatar: The Last Airbender. At the least, "Katara" should only have one link max over it.
