Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Convenient Photograph

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.

Again, this is my suggestion:

That works for me.

[up]Well, there doesn't seem to be any other suggestion, and I think it's gone long enough. I've made the change.

Fan Disservice has been undergoing some caption changing a while ago, and honestly I think that the screamer caption is better than the current (misnamespaced) caption.

If anyone has an idea for a caption for Baseball Episode feel free to put one up.

Change Fan Disservice caption back to "ARRRRRRGH! MY EYES! THEY BLEEEEEEEEEEED!!!" That one is the best.

Someone have changed the caption in Disney.Frozen from "The cold never bothered me anyway" to "She also creates life". Permission to change back?

Lateral change, so I don't see a reason for reverting.

The new quote doesn't strike me as relevant to the movie or the image, so I don't see how it is not worse than the old one

I don't see why it needs a caption in the first place, but I prefer the old one, in quotation marks.

I disagree with the assertion the change was lateral; the newer one's extremely bland and barely relevant to the image in question. Granted, quoting that overused song wasn't great, but it was still better than this.

I agree. If we are going to have a quote I prefer "The cold never bothered me anyway."

Wondering if duplicate captions are an issue here, or is it negligible enough?

Could you elaborate on a specific example?

Both A God Am I and Dimension Lord uses "He's got the whole world in his hand." as captions.

I've never been comfortable with that caption being on A God Am I.

Especially since Light Yagami never has the whole world in his hands, delusions aside. I'd be fine with changing it on A God Am I.

That caption was discussed in the first IP thread on that article. I wonder if using "I" instead of "He" makes a difference, there.

I dunnno, I personally would rather change the one on Dimension Lord, because "world" and "dimension" isn't exactly the same thing.

The question in 91 has not been answered. IMO it doesn't matter.

I discovered this caption from Film.Batman And Robin was removed when I saw broken caption markup:

Notice the subtleties in the neon lighting, and the daring colors Schumacher has put on offer.

I'd leave it off. It's not adding anything, and making it one big Pot Hole to sarcasm mode takes out whatever wit it thought to have.
