This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.
If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.
As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

We discussed this before and personally I say just change the wick to Anvilicious and let it remain as a Mythology Gag of sorts.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I was hoping to avoid that. New readers may not get the joke if we just change the pothole.
Edit: How's this as a compromise: we create a new caption and work in Anvil of the Story?

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportLet's work in Anvilicious because I don't know how much longer Anvil of the Story will survive.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.Alright...
"Even the anvil is not safe."?
Edit: Caption changed, but not with this exact wording.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportA week or two ago I removed the caption for Cheerful Child on the count that it seemed like Word Cruft and gushing, not seeming to adhere to making the article look like it was written be one person and in a neutral tone. Since I was doing a general cleanup on zero context examples on the page, I forgot to put my reason for the caption removal in the edit summary. However, it was added back a couple of days ago.
Is the caption really worth remaining as is given my abovementioned points?
It's not Word Cruft, but it is unnecessary.
I'd like to apologize for all this.The dodginess of the toupee on Dodgy Toupee is easy to see, which I feel renders the caption unnecessary. May I change it to something even more unnecessary, like:
Too wordy for me, TBH.

Cut it down to "When you want to look ten years younger, it's a small price toupee."
EDIT: Small wording change: "When you want to look ten years younger, there's a small price toupee."

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.The second one is good.
On Roaring Rampage of Revenge: is the pothole on "his" necessary?
(Don't) take me home.Also unnecessary.
I'd like to apologize for all this.The caption on Chris Pine is gushing over his looks. Cut?
Cut it.
The double-negative on Stop Poking Me! is a little unwieldly. Can I change "not lose" to "win"?
No objections from me.
x2 and x5 are done.
I'd like to apologize for all this.Leap and Fire has a variation of the "shows us how it's done" captions.
I'd like to apologize for all this.Agreed. I kinda wanna riff on the chorus of System of a Down's "Bounce" ("Jump! Bounce! Up! Down!") but I'm not sure how to work the shooting into it.
"You just lunge to the right, and hold the trigger tight"?
(Annoyed grunt)If that's referencing what I think it's referencing, that's brilliant.

If it involves the words "Time" and "Warp", then yes.
(Annoyed grunt)
I guess so.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
