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.

[up] Really? I'd think how it comes across in context is pretty important, too. Consider, for example, a Tear Jerker image of characters looking devastated... except in context, it's about them comically overreacting to something minor.

Any thoughts on The Shangri-La? According to the trope description, it's supposed to be "usually shown as an idyllic and beautiful place, full of rare flora and fauna, and tended by little bald men in orange robes who beat gongs". The image shows none of that.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The quality ain't that great, either.

In the Fan Works page, there is currently no image to illustrate the message. Could you please add the Sakura page from Remix that was in the image links, or find another fan monster image, from anywhere, and put it in there instead? Thanks! Note I already asked this on an incorrect forum.

They're trying to get an image on Fan Works.

Evidently, they didn't ask the CM thread yet.

Not to mention we already have a thread open for that page.

Do Uptight Loves Wild need a thread? The image is almost exactly the same as Along Came Polly, but it uses a different background, which for some people seems a good enough difference to count as duplicates (e.g. Gentleman Adventurer, He Who Fights Monsters).

Giant Scrap Robot is a new trope, and the new image is both poor quality and has a watermark.

Added Alliterative Appeal... does that need a quality upgrade or do people feel it's basically a page quote in PNG format?

[up] It needs an upgrade; other than that I think it's fine.

I mean, it's one of those tropes where you kinda need it to be text-based.

The quote is atrociously long, though.

[up] Agreed, but that's a discussion for the page quote thread.

Shouldn't Vin Diesel have a photo of the actual real-life Vin Diesel and not a comic?

I kinda don't get the picture on Appeal to Force, but at the same time, I feel as if it might be a situation where everyone else can clearly tell, but not me

I can get what the picture is behind, but I don't think it illustrates the trope well.

The boyscout is presenting the tropical bird to the old man. There is no indication he was sent to find the bird to get rid of him.
