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.

Should Vanity Plate have its caption pulled? It runs on complaining, and the hidden note isn't helping.

[up][up]Is it really complaining? I'm pretty sure it was called the "V of Doom" because it scares some people, before Viacom's copyright practices became infamous.

Yeah, I remember reading about how the V of Doom scared people. I say pull the note, though, as unhelpful, but otherwise keep until a better caption is suggested.

[up][up][up] It's old enough to stretch my ability to recall, but I believe it had some fairly blaring and jarring music that went with it that could be unsettling to some.

[up][up] Kinda off-topic, but that could work as a video example for Vanity Plate.

The note on They Look Just Like Everyone Else! seems a bit too political for this site

I don't like the caption on Sonic Adventure. Notably, it was even removed from the page image at one point as per another thread's opinions, but it was re-added

I modified the tag a bit since you can't really remove a caption that's already been removed.

Yeah, that image is supposed to already come with a caption; an additional one is not needed.

Narm.Star Wars has a caption that is directly insulting a real-life person.
