This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those pulled by Image Pickin'). Guidelines:
- 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.
- If you have multiple suggestions you'd like to field for a single page, that can merit its own thread. Otherwise, use this thread.
- It is recommended that you upload your suggestions as you would like them to be formatted on the page.
- A crowner will be generated with suggestions which will be voted on as normal:
- The crowners will generally run 12-15 items at any given time and may go as high as 20 if there's a backlog of suggestions, so please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
- After 3 days, any options with a net vote count of ≥10 can be put on their respective pages. After 5 days, this can apply to options with a net vote count of ≥7. Anything below that will need to go the full 7 days.
- After 7 days, generally the unprocessed options that have a positive vote count (2:1) can go up on their respective pages. Old thread rule, no longer enforced
- Suggestions will generally be processed and added to crowners in the order they come into the thread.
- Selected images will be tagged using this template (which goes above the image):
%% 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:
- Captions selected by crowner will be tagged using this template (which goes under the image caption):
Sandbox for backlog items awaiting a crowner slot: Image Pickin' Backlog

Is he really error-prone? Feels like he's just being a plain asshole.
If you read the trope that is a variation of the trope:
"If Lord Error-Prone is meant to be a sympathetic character, he is often portrayed as a well-meaning, but clueless Wide-Eyed Idealist. Otherwise, he is a laughable excuse for a knight at best and a pathetic hypocrite or bully at worst."
Given that the OJ Don Quixote is less the romanticised "he means well but he's a Cloudcuckoo Lander" he's become in later media but more "He's a Cloudcuckoo Lander who is so willfully out of touch with reality that hes basically an asshole to everyone other than Sancho Panza" I think he still counts for the trope.
There's a few other options though in the lithographs so I made a thread:

Tarot Motifs already has an image, that was chosen if i'm not mistaken.

Let's take a break from suggesting images for a bit
Image Pickin' Backlog
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Why? It's not like we have some massive backlog again.

Not yet, but there'll definitely be more than 4 images proposed in the time between now and the next crowner, and I'm aiming for the backlog to always be less than 20 images at a time
Image Pickin' Backlog
the Retromancer
I'd rather let mods decide if the thread needs regulation at this point.

Right, it's great that you want to avoid a backlog but it's not up to you to dictate the speed of the thread.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
I have to admit I haven't wanted to complain because I appreciate all the work Paperfly has been putting it but it has felt a bit micromanage-y lately. Especially now we're caught up.
Very Spooky
I wouldn’t be too concerned either. We’ve cleared out the backlog from before, and even by the time the current crowner finishes, there almost certainly won’t be 40+ suggestions (or two crowners) waiting in the backlog.
That said: I don’t think we need a collage for Waterfront Boss Battle. The bottom-left panel is very unclear (are they on a boat?), and I find the upper-left to be illustrative enough on its own. We tend to use collages if a trope can vary widely in fiction, and “boss battle on/next to water” is very straightforward.
back lol

Regulation had been discussed here. Synch states that any time out would need to be self-enforced, and provides reasons as to why other solutions are impractical. The backlog is in a much better position now, but I think her point about self-enforcement still holds.

Right, I think either of the top ones alone is fine.

OBJECTION!
Crown Description:
So for Lord Error-Prone I spotted this article on a series of now Public Domain lithographs by Spanish cartoonist Pedro de Rojas "Don Quixote in the 20th Century (ca. 1905)"
https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/pedro-de-rojas-don-quixote-in-the-20th-century/
I thought a few of them together might work?
I specifically went with 3, 1 to establish he's basically just playing dress up and the other two in order to show this is a pattern of behaviour not just a one off:
