Here's an interesting one. Pages about movies commonly use the movie poster as page image. The Burning instead uses a silhouette of the main character, and it would be clearer to use the movie poster. The poster is, in fact, used on the trope Shear Menace (which is about using scissors as weaponry). And while the character from The Burning is an example, the movie poster is not.

So I suggest we swap them. Put the movie poster on the page for the movie, put the character on the page about scissor-wielding characters, and we've got two improvements.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Seems like a good proposal, but please don't forget the namespace.

Yeah, swap.

+1 to swap, although I'd really prefer to use something that's better quality on Shear Menace.

[up][up]It's actually a very similar image to the YT image (6.2), but with a slightly different angle.

Seems like we have a consensus to move the poster of The Burning currently used in Shear Menace to the work page instead, so I've made the switch and tagged them accordingly.

Now have we reached an agreement on which image we should use in Shear Menace in its place?

No, not enough consensus on those...if we don't get any more suggestions in the next day or two, we'll need a crowner on the ones we have now.

Another votes bump; 2 votes is very little.

I was about to add an image to Shear Menace when I came across this thread. I was going to use this one, also from Clock Tower.

Pulled it off the Clock Tower wiki. But since this thread exists, I figured I should bring it up before pulling the trigger. I think it's perfect, myself, but what do I know? wink

[up] That's actually already in the crowner, but that version is bigger than the one that's there.

Either way I think we can safely go with one of the Scissormen; it's just a matter of deciding between the two.

Okay, I called the crowner and was about to make the swap, but I see that someone's already put a pic on the page. I definitely prefer the pic in the crowner to what's there; thoughts?

I disagree, especially since it's two images for...no reason.

I'd still go with D-DEH SCISSORMIN

Plus there's the principle of the fact that anytime we want to change an image we have to bring it up in here first.

[up]Technically, Shear Menace previously is imageless and adding pictures (as opposed to replacing them) is a free action, but, yeah, the Scissorman is much better than whatever is currently on the page.

Even when a page is imageless, apparently the rules state that you still need to make an Image Pickin thread, even if it's just a Suggestion.

I removed it, but if we want to make a new crowner with this in it (or just move on consensus), here it is:
