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.

I say remove it.
Just a guy.
So Harmony Bunny 2000 has changed the caption slightly on Conjoined Eyes.
Originally it was this:
Beyond the "And" being pointless, since it's standing on its own instead of being a part of a larger sentence, like it was originally.
My main point of contention is the change from eye to eyes. I know, it's a simple thing and that's the original line, but it misses the point of the caption's joke and why I suggested it (that it looks like one big eye). Is it okay to revert this or to keep it?

Revert; that breaks the intended joke.
back lolNo strong feeling on the "and", but definitely revert "eyes" to "eye".
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Am I a weirdo?
Revert.

Closed the crowner,

(Topic change) so lately, I have found myself removing work page captions that list one of the film/show's taglines while potholing them to Tag Line... despite said tagline already being on the poster like here
and here. (I personally don't like using the caption space for film/show taglines as I find them perfunctory at best — just trope the words under Tag Line if you must — but this strikes me as particularly lazy and redundant.) Similarly, while I don't touch captions while replacing pictures for work pages with IP-selected ones if the new caption still appears to apply to the old pic, if the new pic is a poster that also contains the old caption, I remove the latter.
I don't think there's any reason the caption should be repeating what's already on the poster, but if there is any reason why I should stop doing that, sound off please. Also, thoughts on caption-for-tagline in general?

I like the caption for tagline myself but I completely agree it seems silly when the tagline is on the pic. My only reservation is a potentially accessibility one - i.e. it could help for people who use screen readers. But then if we ever get alt text on the images I would put the taglines there as then people who rely on screen readers will get the tagline, I'm not sure if the site has that technology yet though?
So I can't think of anything right now... meh.

I feel a bit similarly to , though my concern is that the tagline may be too small to read at wikisize or does not appear on the poster at all. I’m fine with cutting if the tagline text is clearly visible, however (Red, White & Royal Blue is a borderline case for me).
From Slow Transformation:
Can confirm, having seen the movie: The transformation wasn't caused by drugs at all, so I have no idea where this caption came from. I don't have anything immediate to change it to, but it looks to me like it has to go.
E: Maybe "Sheesh, Brundle, you're looking different today. New haircut?"

Thanks for playing King's Quest V!

Just like This Image Is Not an Example, many captions aren't representative of the works which images they underline. That said, the caption's rather lame, so I'd be fine with cutting it. Suggestion is pretty good.

The caption for Foil is 5 words long and every word is a different pothole, is there a way to rewrite this to be a little easier to read?

I'd be tempted to drop it down to just:
"Don Quixote and Sancho Panza"
Perhaps?
