I'm new to Image Pickin', so please forgive me if this doesn't merit discussion here. I would like to suggest an image for the Forbidden Chekhov's Gun article. Namely, this one:

The image itself doesn't actually include a warning, but a caption of "Don't press that!" would correct that flaw.

Sorry, but I think that that image "illustrates" What Does This Button Do? or somesuch better.

I don't see how that button is a forgotten Chekov's Gun in that pic, this lacks context. It's an example of What Does This Button Do? that I see in that suggestion instead.

Agreeing that the suggestion better fits What Does This Button Do?, which already has a pretty good pic.

Yep, wrong trope being illustrated there. As far as What Does This Button Do? is concerned, the suggestion seems about the same as the image already on that page apart from the Title Drop.

Thanks for setting me straight. I'll keep an eye out for a better image.
