This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.

For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

No, even with the caption I'm not entirely clear. Is it saying that broadcasting who the hostage is would result in them dying?

[up] If anything, the broadcast puts the hostage takers in danger more than the little girl since her dad is the badass action hero about to John McClane his way through the hostage takers and save her. Not really in the spirit of the trope. Also, don't they know who they took hostage?

Does Who Will Bell the Cat? work? It doesn't seem to showcase a dangerous plan nobody wants to enact; just people pointing out what should be done, only for it to be clear why they aren't. The difference is subtle, but it feels off to me.

I agree. It doesn't show what kind of plan they are doing, that it is dangerous, and why no one wants to do it.

I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.

Does The Farmer and the Viper illustrate I know it's a image of the original fable but I am not sure it actually shows the betrayal part at all?

I think that South Park: Snow Day!'s Main Page picture should be replaced because it's still using a Screenshot and the Title from the reveal trailer from 7 months ago

[up] I think the fact that the little ones have visibly identical faces sells the "doll" part good enough.

For They Killed Kenny Again, does the main page image need to be South Park related, especially when South Park has it's own page?

Does Ghostly Chill demonstrate the Ghost part effectively?

[up][up][up] I think They Killed Kenny Again works - it does demonstrate the trope that a character dies often and repeatedly - my bigger concern is that I'm not sure most of the text is readable at Wiki Size.

The issue isn't whether or not it works - it's that the main page is a South Park image, despite South Park already having its own page

[up] No, we prioritize main pages over subpages even if they're more specific. I'd only move it to the South Park page if you have a suggestion.

Goths Have It Hard shows self-harm. Does that violate policy?

Does Radiograph of Doom get the trope across? It looks like just a CT scan and no caption to me.

[up][up] Well lungs aren't supposed to have a large mass like that in them and I think that is fairly commonish knowledge... but it is weak IMO and doesn't show the "Doctor reactions to the scan" aspect of the trope at all.
