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.

I find the caption for Aguirre, the Wrath of God to be nonindicative. A better suggestion would be one of its taglines: "A breathtaking journey into the heart of darkness." or "On this river, God never finished his creation."

[up][up] Done. I went ahead and left a commented-out note underneath the caption as well.

Does anyone else think the caption on Creator.Michael B Jordan makes too many obscure references?note  At the least, it has too many links.

I changed "Purple Horseshoes" on One Game for the Price of Two to "Orange Stars".

The caption for Holiday-Appropriate Weather originally linked to The Weather Girls per the Image Pickin' thread, but was removed. Was that change permitted?

[up] The person who removed it, Drope, did not leave an edit reason, so they probably didn't discuss it anywhere.

Some people are just really opposed to leaving Red Links, even though it's explicitly encouraged. I'd restore it.

Calling the crowner; the caption's added and tagged on A-Team Firing.

I've hooked a combined crowner for Furry Reminder and High-Voltage Death. If no options for either page get consensus, that'll be a default "no caption for now" vote.

We didn't really talk about captions for UncannyValley.Music; I think something like "Black Hole Sun, won't you come, and wash that smile away" would work.

My image suggestion of Diamond Dallas Page for RealMenWearPink.Professional Wrestling has been recently approved and posted to the page. However, I couldn't think of an appropriate caption and no one else did either.

Any suggestions?

Calling the crowner. None of the suggestions for Furry Reminder are in the green. The winner's in and tagged on High-Voltage Death...not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed about that one.

I'm going to hook a new crowner shortly.

EDIT: The new crowner's done.

Caption for Law & Order: "Are you feeling sad? Thinking about someone you're never gonna see again? Mom, Dad, boyfriend? No, huh? Someone else, someone who you would give anything to see just one more time. You're gonna cry his name out at some point. They always do."

Could you update the title to reflect the crowner?
