Image Suggestion Thread (New Crowner: November 04 2025):

Go To

This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those where previous images were pulled by Image Pickin').

Guidelines

  1. Please read How to Pick a Good Image and Just a Face and a Caption before suggesting an image. Additionally, make sure to source the image in your post.
  2. If you have multiple suggestions you'd like to field for a single page, that can merit its own thread. Otherwise, use this thread.
  3. It is recommended that you upload your suggestions as you would like them to be formatted on the page.
  4. A crowner will be generated by a moderator. with suggestions which will be voted on as normal. Crowners will run for up to 7 days.
    • Each crowner will generally contain 12-15 items, but may have up to 20 if there's a backlog of suggestions. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
    • After 3 days, anything with votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 5 days, anything with votes at +7 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 7 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be added, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be rejected, and the crowner will be closed.
  5. Suggestions will generally be processed and added to crowners in the order they come into the thread.

Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").

Templates

  • Selected images will be tagged using this template (which goes above the image):
%% Image selected via crowner in the Image Suggestion thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1452266899092104700
%% crowner link
%% Please do not change or remove without starting a new thread.
  • If one or more previous images on the page were pulled, those forum links should remain on the page as well, but the accompanying templates should be replaced by:
%% Previous image removed per Image Pickin' thread:
  • Captions selected by crowner will be tagged using this template (which goes under the image caption):
%% Caption selected per above crowner. Please don't change or remove without approval from the Caption thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1404492079030138900

There is a sandbox for backlog suggestions awaiting a crowner slot: Image Pickin' Backlog

I seem to have committed a faux pas. I was under the impression that if a trope had no page image at all, it was okay to add one and that if another troper wanted to contest it, they would then bring the discussion here. From reading the thread description though, it seems pretty clear I was supposed to bring the image here first.

Faux Action Girl had no page image, so I added this from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/smbc_sfp.png

It's a little wordy, but I feel like it embodies the trope quite well — the woman has credentials and maybe wins one fight to "prove" to the audience that she's a badass, then becomes incapable of doing jack for the rest of the work, even in situations where her alleged skills would be incredibly useful.

Do others find this image acceptable? Should I remove it since it didn't actually receive approval here first, or is it okay to leave it up for the moment?

[up] It's basically Talking Heads, but it's doable in lieu of another suggestion.

On one condition: is this less than half of the original comic? If not, it needs replacement due to fair use issues.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Our issue with that image is that the text is doing all the work.

[up][up] It's about half or less of the original, yes:

https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2014-07-02

[up] That's a good point. I don't know of another possibility though, particularly one with more pointed visuals. Should I go ahead and remove it from the page at present?

It's already on the page and you didn't violate any rules upon adding it, so you'd need a new IP thread to remove it, I assume.

#6186: Mar 19th 2021 at 2:09:13 PM

[up] Okay, I thought perhaps adding it without coming here first was a violation of the rules in itself.

If there's not a note on the page about IP, it's technically allowed, but it's highly recommended you come here first.

I will definitely do that in future! I had seen page notes before about not changing the image after it was decided upon in discussion, which is why I assumed it was okay to add a new one in pages where there was no note.

I guess if anyone wants to challenge it, they can just start a new thread and it can be removed if people decide it's not a good one.

Double post: Since it's been 7 days, every remaining suggestion in consensus range has been uploaded, meaning that the current crowner can now be closed. Here's Crowner 146.

Notes:

[down] Thanks.

The suggestion for First Gray Hair appeared twice in the crowner. Luckily, one of them had no votes so I edited it out.

Crown Description:

This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 7 days, depending on voting. Vote UP to add an image to the page; vote DOWN to reject the suggestion.
  • After 3 days, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be added to the page.
  • After 5 days, anything with +7 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be added to the page.
  • After 7 days, any remaining items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be added, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be rejected, and the crowner will be closed.
If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided. Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.
