This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.
For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.
Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

Considering there's a lot of both new and old franchise material that use both, and it not really harming anything, I'd say it's probably fine.
Does Age-Inappropriate Dress work without the caption?

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallThat's the thing; they don't look like a pre-teen to me, either. They just sort of look of a vaguely young age, but def not childish.

Same.
EDIT: Huh...only one thread

Hey, so the page image for Buffoonish Tomcat is set to WesternAnimation.An American Tail, but are we sure it isn’t from WesternAnimation.An American Tail Fievel Goes West? Because it kinda fits that art style better.

You’re Gonna Carry That Weight.Is Lazy Husband illustrative? The description says the trope's "a husband who is usually seen lounging around at home while his wife does all the housework [...]," and I don't see her doing anything. She just looks at him sleeping on a chair. It's also not listed as an example anywhere.

What cues? Her looking at him sleeping in general? She doesn't even look particularly disappointed or annoyed. How can we tell she's mad at him for being lazy (while she does all the work)?
Also, is the image not being from an example listed anywhere not considered an issue?

Also for the record images don't require having examples written down, though would be welcome.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupSemi regular reminder not to let perfect be the enemy of good when it comes to images. The title providing some context is acceptable, there are visual cues that imply they probably have a domestic relationship, and well, readers are not dumb. Would wedding ring or a speech bubble calling him her husband be a mild improvement? Maybe. Is it necessary? I don't think so.

Is Misery Trigger clear enough? I had to read it a few times to figure out what was going on.
regulation pigeonI know Salt Solution was picked by a thread, but I don’t really get how it illustrates? If anything, it illustrates the opposite of the trope.
Previous thread.
I started out thinking it was funny then backtracked a bit. Very meh on it now.
I also think Salt Solution shows the opposite what the trope is about, but I don't have time to rewatch Supernatural for a good replacement.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupShouldn't MemeticBadass.Video Games' pic be on MemeticBadass.Nintendo instead?
