Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

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.

Keep the "I see England, I see France" of the Film.French Cancan caption perhaps?

The caption on Title In isn't totally bad, but could we cut the *ding* for being senseless without context?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Someone needs to check on the caption of Deadly Garage Sale because I don't get the joke and there's a lack of punctuation.

[up][up][up] Okay, adjustment made.

Also from the same TRS effort: is the one on Film.Twenty One Red List necessary?

The caption for the picture on Heartwarming.Jellystone is just... off to me. Some very poor grammar for starters.

"Aww... it's very sweet how Top Cat, Benny, Choo Choo, Fancy-Fancy, and Brain hugging Spooky so much."

Edit: The caption wasn't there when the page was created. It was added by ~~douglasdevine123.

It’s just stating the obvious. Cut.

I was busy yesterday, so I couldn't do much here. I liked the caption suggested for Garden Garment, and it had three votes already, so I added it because that's now four votes.

I'd like to rewrite the caption on Launcher of a Thousand Ships to be clearer about who's who.

Current:

Suggestion:

(Alternatively, it could also lose the Crossover Ship potholes.)

Green Means Natural got a caption while the thread was running, thoughts? I think it's meh.

Feels like it doesn't add much, unless it's a quote or something.

I feel Innocent Plant Children’s caption is as useless as Green Means Natural’s. (Both were added by their sponsors, interestingly.)

Are we allowed to suggest captions for caption-less images here? Because the picking thread for Series.Resident Evil 2022 closed before anyone could make a suggestion.

I also have one for Series.Only Murders In The Building: This sends the investigation in a whole new direction…

Human Chess caption feels kinda like someone's personal comment.
