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 page for the film Brick has the placeholder caption 'some caption text' and I'm not familiar enough with the material to pick one, so any help would be brilliant.
(As an aside, the page image itself is fine, hence why I didn't start a new thread, but the alignment is a little wonky and I can't seem to figure out how to put it right.)

Someone copied the whole image uploader output into the page without either reducing the width of the quoteright box to the display width (the fact that the output width can be larger than the display one is a bug that's in the Tech Wishlist) or removing the default caption.
Fixed both issues.

Hi
The caption on Wise Beyond Their Years is completely superfluous...no ideas on a replacement right now but that's not adding anything to the page.
No, the other one.
Something like, "Wisdom has no age requirement," or, "Age does not necessarily follow wisdom"? Seems a bit clunky, but I can't get the wording just right.

I like that first one.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
So, any thoughts on the one for Monster.Western Animation? Monster.Stephen King also neads a caption.

Monster.Western Animation isn't even a good one. It shows some kind of monster, yes, but nothing about it screams Complete Monster. We have to have a better example, like Ozai or something.
Better example doesn't always provide a better image.
I can live with the caption suggestion in @149 for Monster.Western Animation. I'm not sure why caption is absolutely necessary for Monster.Stephen King.
It has proven difficult or impossible to completely illustrate the concept of a Complete Monster, it is a complex idea. A wolf brandishing severed chicken feet at a chicken (and are her feet among them? I can't tell) is pretty monstrous.

Hi
There was a line of dialogue that went with that scene on Monster.Western Animation that would make a perfect caption and really enhance his evil.
Any other thoughts on the caption for Wise Beyond Their Years?
That's Dr. Title, thank you!
Is there any way to say something about who the boy is? If he has an Other Wiki page, that would be a fairly useful caption.
That seems kinda pointless. We don't need to know who he is. I like Duck's first suggestion in 155.
Hi
The current caption on You Wanna Get Sued? reads like an actual trope example...not sure about a new caption, but I'm at least voting for the current one to be incorporated into the OOTS example that the pic is referencing.
The captions in Characters.US Acres are just mentioning the characters' names, which is redundant, considering how their names are already mentioned in the headers. Is it alright to remove them?
Hi
Kill 'em.
(she/her)
Super-Empowering's pic caption doesn't make much sense and it's not adding to the image.

No, the other one.
I say kill it.
The image's link is also an external link.

So, the quote for Monster.Western Animation?
I distinctly recall that Periphery Hatedom has a caption, which for some reason had disappeared. There was no edit reason for the removal, so is it alright to put it back up?
Hi
Here's the caption:
Looking through the edit history, that's caused a lot of grief and it feels a lot like a Take That! so I'd be fine with leaving it gone. Thoughts?
Filthy casual
Well, if it's caused problems, then I vote for keeping it gone.
(Annoyed grunt)
To be honest, I wouldn't really understand what exactly is the image trying to tell without it, which is why I asked.
What sort of problems was it causing, by the way?
Hi
Tons of revisions to it and snarky edit reasons about its intent.
If you use a period instead of a dash, the word "monster" will appear. Monster.Western Animation. Anyway, the suggestion works.
