Well, uh...

Due to their exceptional subjectivity and persistent problems with images being poor quality and/or not illustrative, Moments pages (Awesome/, Funny/, Heartwarming/, Nightmare Fuel/, Shocking/,Tear Jerker/) are limited to one image.
~ IP Discussion thread, special cases folder.

Not only are you not allowed to just change images on a whim, but those folder images break the rules anyway.

^^So, once again, I'm the one in the wrong?

You're both in the wrong. Them for changing it back and not just going to IP, you for changing it in the first place without IP, and both of you for adding multiple images to a Nightmare Fuel page.

^^ You aren't wrong.

Both you and the one who added an image inside the folder aré wrong.

The correct procedure would be to add one image at the top of the page (using IP would be excellent), and that's all.

I'm not sure if it's even proper formatting to have images for each folder, but this page is a mess as is...

It's not proper formatting, but my concern is that you just decided to throw it on the page anyway even with the page being a mess.

A poorly edited page doesn't mean that you also get to edit it poorly.

Ok, ok, I get it. So should I get rid of the image?

Start an Image Pickin' thread, where people can formally decide to remove the image.

I reported it in the main IP discussion thread. None of the pics work.

^What do you mean by "none of them work"?

IP discussion here.

Doesn’t seem like an edit war happened here since another person originally added the image in question, but consider this a warning not to change images unilaterally.
