Needs Help: Administrivia.Images Without A Source

Go To

Here's the place to inquire about pages whose images aren't potholed to anything. Note that the source might also be in the caption, a commented-out note, linked in any previous threads, or specified on an Image Source subindex, so please check these before posting here.

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 

     Old OP 
There's quite a few Images Without a Source that could be replaced by spending just a few minutes in an art or spreadsheet program. This would be much easier than trying to track them down or finding a replacement.


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.

[up] I did some digging on Google Image Search and I think it's a photo from when an Oscar Myer Weiner Mobile was listed as a place to stay at on Air B&B according to this article:

https://www.autotrader.ca/editorial/20190722/oscar-mayer-wienermobile-pops-up-on-airbnb-seriously/

It's not listed anymore though, the link is dead:

Should we put links to the original in the caption in the case of webcomics, like I did with He's Just Hiding? I think it's only fair.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

I only feel that’s appropriate if the comic doesn’t have a page. In this case, the comic does, so I don’t see the point quite honestly.

I see the point. It makes it easier to read the full comic, rather than just 4 panels of it.

Should The Promposal picture have a caption saying that it's from a news broadcast?

"Acton teen lights promposal on fire in driveway"

"High school senior lights promposal on fire in driveway", etc.

The image for Panspermia doesn't have a source listed on the wiki. A reverse image search claimed it's called "Alien Mother" by Caleb Ongoro but looking up the artist's name only led to a website full of pretty clearly AI pictures. I'm not sure if this is grounds to replace it, or if that's enough to be called a decent source?

The image does not illustrate the trope anyway, but that's a topic for another thread.

It's not AI; I did some digging, and discovered it's a painting by the artist Gary Soszynski. Scroll down on that page and you'll eventually see it. As per a comment on this Reddit post:

It's about the alien race anunnaki combining their dna with lower primates to make early man.

[up][up] If thats the case we'd need ask for permission if it's iffy on illustrating the trope and on permission we might wanna open a thread to pull it

Calculator Spelling illustrates the trope incredibly well, but is there a source for this one or is it just a stock photo?

[up]Looking into the sources deeper, it appears to be from mattkoenigphotography.com, but the website is dead. I found the photographer's flickr page, which says that it requires permission. Considering the last post on the flickr page was 2015, I'd think it be better to find a replacement, which should be relatively easy.
