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 literally just picked the caption for Ramming Always Works, but isn't it an Italian submarine, not a German one?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

If so, that completely ruins the meter.

"Roman" submarine?

Alternately, "we just rammed an Italian submarine" fits the metre.

[down] How so?

But it still defeats the purpose of using the song in the first place.

If we went for the generic "An Axis submarine," that maintains the meter of the song while avoiding inaccuracies.

[up][up] I'm good with that. I'd also add in the musical notes like the caption for "I Want" Song.

The crowner option "Cain at least had the patience to be born." links to Cain and Abel. However, a page exists for the character of Cain. Should it link to that page instead?

[up]I think Cain and Abel fits more closely to the image.

I suggest changing Airborne Mook's caption to "Get a taste of your own medicine, Mario."

For the reasons given in my previous post, I reverted the changed captions on both Greedy Jew and Lady Macbeth.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

Damsel in Distress went through multiple rewrites. Should it be reverted back to the original one? Cause I don't think there was anything wrong with it

The caption for Hero Killer is quite long. Would it be a good idea to cut everything before "Dread from it..."?

Alluring Anglerfish has a chained sinkhole. I'd just remove the pothole to Finding Nemo, or possibly both.

Door Fu's image has a caption that really confused me for a bit even as a Soulsborne fan. It's supposed to be a play on the kinda-sorta meme from Bloodborne: "You're welcome to use whatever you find, even the Doll, should it please you.", which is 1) not even the same game that's shown in the image (Dark Souls III), 2) is barely a pun, and 3) a sentence that doesn't even make grammatical sense out of context. Not sure what to replace it with, but it needs work.

Thanks for playing King's Quest V!
