Here's the place to inquire about pages whose images aren't potholed to anything.
Google Image Search, Tineye
, and SauceNAO are good resources.
Images Without a Source lists the pages that have been discussed in this thread but haven't been sourced yet. Once a source is found for an image, please add it to the appropriate Image Source pagenote and remove it from Images Without a Source.
About Images and Copyright covers our general policies about image use; see here for more details and Image Pickin' forum policies. It's always a good idea to link images to their original versions and (when available) providing a link to the artist's site when they are located, especially if we're given permission to use an image.note
- Area 51 — mainly text, easy enough to do an alternate version.
- Blood Oath — clipart with text over a generic scroll.
- Broken Heel — clipart shoe.
- Editorial Synaesthesia — generic warning sign.
- Minsky Pickup — specific musical notation.
- Political Correctness Gone Mad — clipart wreath with text.
- Sequence Breaking — clipart maze.
- Themed Cursor — the image and the cursors are all awful, could be replaced with a screenshot.
- Villainous Demotivator — clipart skull plus text.
Edit: Black Box, Blown Across the Room, Double Jump, The End, Friday Night Death Slot, Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics, Horny Vikings, Rump Roast, Stock Femur Bone, Surprise Slide Staircase, Treasure Map, and Visible Silence have been replaced.

Live-Action Films, Live-Action TV and Web Original have no sources. I think the first is Skeletor from Masters of the Universe. The second is clearly Davros from Doctor Who and the third is Black Hat from Villainous (which is in the Western Animation namespace, so that's another issue)

Hi
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
I've added the potholes to the first two.
Is Courier a stock photo?
Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢
Very Spooky
Yep.
Space Gal
Black Cap of Death has no source.
EDIT: Thank you. Actually, that may be a better image than the one currently on the page.

Already looked into it. This documentary has it in the first minute, but I don't know if it's original or is a clip.
Update: It's Ruth Ellis A Life For A Life. [1]

Excellent sleuthing.
I think we can swap that in as a quality upgrade and pothole it.

Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
I'm worried Kissing Cousins is a stock photo, but I can't confirm it because Google is sending me through a lot of hoops with it.

TinEye brings up nothing, so it very likely isn't one. It doesn't have that "stock photo look", anyway.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
So it's just another one of those random sourceless funny images.

It's likely just a photo taken from some US department store that got shared through the likes of Ifunny and 9gag, making fun of poor choice for the placeholder.

dunno if anyone's asked this before, but i've found the original source for the image in Panthera Awesome: [1]. thanks Saucenao.
although, do we even have the permission to use this image? it's been on that page since 2011, damn.

reconsidering
Added to the list bc I could not find a source- The Runaway. Seems like it might be a stock photo? But the sources mostly list TV Tropes as the source
the Retromancer
Most search results give me stock photo websites. I can't find the author, but I'll just assume it's not from a work.

How does one sourcelink to commercials and new articles anyway?
I've noticed Shaving Is Science was tagged (~lizardgai4), so I've looked it up. And apparently there was another tour article at some point.
I've found that it's the cover for the book De Rustelozen by Olga Tokarczuk. But again, could be a stock photo used for the cover. *shrug*
Tyrannoraptoran Reptiliomorph
It is a stock photo, but for some reason, none of the links of it on stock photo sites Tineye link to that image.
Is Yaoi Genre fanart? I tried looking but couldn't find the original source.

Cafe Lindberg: Our Love Psychology 2. Not included in the link: it being a 2002 eroge.
Ah thank you. So, not linked because of P5 I presume.
If it's an eroge, should we link it in the "Pics from non-content policy compliant works" folder in Image Pickin' Special Cases, and add a commented out note saying what the work is and to not pothole to it, like in 1000 Origami Cranes?

I'd like to apologize for all this.
Hi
No objections from me.
The best I could find is some now-deleted blog about Saudi lifestyle and it tagged as a 2006 photograph, and even then it was uncredited.
