R1ck removed the images from the Joisey page with the vague reason that it's "purely offensive".

Putting aside the fact that I'm from New Jersey and the image is basically spot-on, if nothing else it's an accurate representation of how the state is stereotypically viewed. It might not be the best illustration, but I figured it was at least worth discussing.

The image in question is this:

It should be restored; the trope is about the fictional/stereotypical ways NJ is portrayed and that pic does the job well unless someone's got a better idea. Note that we have UsefulNotes.New Jersey, too.

It really doesn't represent fictional portrayals that much though something that actually showed off people would be better. In addition to being VERY hard to read at that size.

It is a bit hard to read, but I think it works well enough until we have something better to put there.

R1ck also removed a paragraph mentioning that page image, which I have also restored. It seems he really didn't want the site to acknowledge its existence.

Kinda wanted to do it before the thread was opened, but at the same time didn't want to start an Edit War.

Yeah, I had considered just reverting it, but I figured it would be best to start a thread just so I had something to point to if he tries to remove it again.

Also, good catch re-adding that paragraph. Forgot about that.

Keep the image. If someone doesn't like it, they should suggest something better.

I've starred the thread to give time for someone to come up with something different, but if there's consensus to go ahead and lock up that's fine with me.

If you know where the source is, I might be able to improve the page image quality.

GIS gives me plenty of high quality larger versions, for the record.

I've replaced the current version with a high-quality JPG and adjusted the tag. Locking up.
