Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Convenient Photograph

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.

The image should be removed from Heroes Prefer Swords, not just the caption, as there's a hidden comment saying it was removed by an IP thread.

[up]The page isn't BUPKIS, so adding a different image without going through Image Pickin' is fine, if discouraged.

Deee Foo added the image in January. I'd be good to give Heroes Prefer Swords its own thread, since the image and caption both need help.

For a new caption for Wrestling.Booker T, I thought of using "Can you dig that, Suckaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?". Maybe add Tvtropes at the beginning. Would that be good?

Proposing a caption change for Mars Needs Women:

"You appear of high quality this evening. Have you decreased in mass?"

Current caption:

"You look good this evening. Have you decreased in mass?"

Isn't the current caption a quote?

Time to call the Gorgeous Greek caption? I'm not sure if the consensus is strong enough though.

Yeah, it's time to call it.

EDIT: It's added and tagged.

I don't really understand the caption on Opposite-Sex Clone. It was also added without consulting Image Pickin'. Can it be removed?

Caption suggestion for V-Sign:

Richard Nixon strikes this pose as he resigns as President of the United States.

Current caption:

The caption for Achievement Mockery seemed to be trying to show a source for the pic, so I moved it to the pothole, which was missing.

Any ideas for a replacement caption? Should the original caption go back up?

The caption on The Dog Bites Back seems to suffer from Captain Obvious (Caption Obvious?).

[up] I'd say get rid of the Reality Ensues pothole, as it's misuse.

It's not a great caption, but I don't think it hurts the image.

Someone replaced the caption on The Scrappy without consensus.

[up]I think I prefer the revised caption.

The pic itself is on the "don't change the pic" list, but I don't see a tag for the caption, so it should be fine.

I replaced the caption on The Dog Bites Back with Crossover-Enthusiast's suggestion. I have no strong opinions on which caption for The Scrappy is better.

I think I prefer the current caption on The Scrappy, but I'd tweak the second part to "We'd say "Accept no substitutes", but asking you to accept him may be too much."
