"All pages begin imageless. And exampleless. And title-less. And definitionless."

If you mean the blank state, what does that have to do with this ykttw? Why bring that up at all?

"Once we come up a name and some sort of description, we have a YKTTW draft. Once we have examples, a proper definition and a full description (and ideally an image) we're ready to launch a trope.Once we have tropes, criteria for inclusion and a quick description (and ideally an image) we're ready to launch an index."

Um, I don't think any official order for these has been set, and despite my problems on the forums, I've made sure for a long time that my ykttw posts are in solid form.

"Sure, let's include an image before launching - if we can think of a good one."

That's WHY I'm asking if you have a better one. Why do you think I've ''repeatedly'' asked you what you think would make a good image (which you still haven't answered)?

"Till then, no image."

No, there is '''no such rule'''. If I post an image, and you don't think it's good, you propose a better one. You don't just declare we can't have an image, in a ykttw, at all just because you don't like what's there. That is stupid. Pictures should illustrate pages well, but you're making a FalseDichotomy.

"I don't have a picture suggestion."

Well you do seem to have one, which is you want it imageless, but are trying to pass that off as some kind of rule. I have a problem with that, especially since you still haven't pointed to any official post somewhere stating it's a rule.

If you don't think any image suggestion works, please just state you don't like those suggestions. Please don't claim that a freakin' ykttw, which is not meant to reflect the final launch page, shouldn't have an image on the OP, when that image is not even guaranteed to be on the page.
